Updates the Bazel NodeJS rules to v4.0.0-beta.0. This is necessary
so that the Angular components repo can update, and it's generally
good to stay as up-to-date as possible with the Bazel rules as it's
easy to fall behind, and updating early allows us to discover issues
affecting our tooling earlier (where they are easier to address due to
e.g. potential breaking change policy).

We rely on a Github API `/branches` request to determine the active
release trains. Currently this logic is broken if more than 100
protected branches exist within a repository. This issue surfaced
recently where the `items_per_page` setting was set to `30`, causing
the merge tooling and release tooling to not detect the proper "latest"
release train.
This commit uses Github pagination for retrieving branches to determine
the active release trains, and makes the logic more long-term proof.

We previously held off with updating Octokit to v18 due to
their more noticable issues with typings. This commit updates
us to the latest version in order to take advantage of the new
pagination API (which is also strongly-typed), and to not fall
behind too much over time (Octokit seems to change quite often..)
We work around the problem with the types for `getContent` by just
using a type cast with a TODO (and link to the issue). Similarly we
work around a problem where the Octokit types have an incorrect type
for the name of the labels array in an API response.

This commit fixes an issue with the ng-dev tool, where Github's API returns
paginated branch data. Only 30 branches are returned by default, and Angular
now has more than 30 branches in its repo. This commit increases the number
of branches returned to the API limit of 100, which should buy us some time
until we can implement proper pagination.

Instead of passing `string` in the release tool for NPM dist tags, we
should use a union string type that limits the tags to `latest`, `next`
and anything matching `v{number}-lts`. This avoids mistakes at
compilation-level if an invalid/unknown tag would be set by a release
action.

Currently we have a common utility method for running commands
in a child process. This method pipes all stdout and stderr, but sets
the `stdin` to `inherited`. This seemed to work as expected in terms of
allowing interactive commands being executed, but it messes with the
TTY in Windows (and potentially other platforms) so that colors and
prompts no longer work properly. See attached screenshot.
We fix this by not inheriting the stdin by default; but exposing
a dedicated method for interactive commands. This results in more
readable and obvious code too, so it's worth making this change
regardless of the TTY issues.

Updates to rules_nodejs 2.2.0. This is the first major release in 7 months and includes a number of features as well
as breaking changes.
Release notes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/tag/2.0.0
Features of note for angular/angular:
* stdout/stderr/exit code capture; this could be potentially be useful
* TypeScript (ts_project); a simpler tsc rule that ts_library that can be used in the repo where ts_library is too
heavy weight
Breaking changes of note for angular/angular:
* loading custom rules from npm packages: `ts_library` is no longer loaded from `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl`
(which no longer exists) but is now loaded from `@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl`
* with the loading changes above, `load("@npm//:install_bazel_dependencies.bzl", "install_bazel_dependencies")` is
no longer needed in the WORKSPACE which also means that yarn_install does not need to run unless building/testing
a target that depends on @npm. In angular/angular this is a minor improvement as almost everything depends on @npm.
* @angular/bazel package is also updated in this PR to support the new load location; Angular + Bazel users that
require it for ng_package (ng_module is no longer needed in OSS with Angular 10) will need to load from
`@npm//@angular/bazel:index.bzl`. I investigated if it was possible to maintain backward compatability for the old
load location `@npm_angular_bazel` but it is not since the package itself needs to be updated to load from
`@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl` instead of `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl` as it depends on ts_library
internals for ng_module.
* runfiles.resolve will now throw instead of returning undefined to match behavior of node require
Other changes in angular/angular:
* integration/bazel has been updated to use both ng_module and ts_libary with use_angular_plugin=true.
The latter is the recommended way for rules_nodejs users to compile Angular 10 with Ivy. Bazel + Angular ViewEngine is
supported with @angular/bazel <= 9.0.5 and Angular <= 8. There is still Angular ViewEngine example on rules_nodejs
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_view_engine on these older versions but users
that want to update to Angular 10 and are on Bazel must switch to Ivy and at that point ts_library with
use_angular_plugin=true is more performant that ng_module. Angular example in rules_nodejs is configured this way
as well: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular. As an aside, we also have an
example of building Angular 10 with architect() rule directly instead of using ts_library with angular plugin:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_bazel_architect.
NB: ng_module is still required for angular/angular repository as it still builds ViewEngine & @angular/bazel
also provides the ng_package rule. ng_module can be removed in the future if ViewEngine is no longer needed in
angular repo.
* JSModuleInfo provider added to ng_module. this is for forward compat for future rules_nodejs versions.

@josephperrott, this touches `packages/bazel/src/external.bzl` which will make the sync to g3 non-trivial.

Creates a tool for staging and publishing releases as per the
new branching and versioning that has been outlined in the following
document. The tool is intended to be used across the organization to
ensure consistent branching/versioning and labeling:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/197kVillDwx-RZtSVOBtPb4BBIAw0E9RT3q3v6DZkykU/edit#heading=h.s3qlps8f4zq7dd
The tool implements the actions as outlined in the following
initial plan: https://hackmd.io/2Le8leq0S6G_R5VEVTNK9A.
The implementation slightly diverged in so far that it performs
staging and publishing together so that releasing is a single
convenient command. In case of errors for which re-running the
full command is not sufficient, we want to consider adding
recover functionality. e.g. when the staging completed, but the
actual NPM publishing aborted unexpectedly due to build errors.
PR Close#38656
Introduces a new command for `ng-dev release`, so that the NPM
dist tag can be set for all configured NPM packages. This command
can be useful in case a manual tag needs to be set, but it is
primarily used by the release tooling when a new stable version
is cut, and when the previous patch branch needs to be set as LTS
version through a `v{major}-lts` dist tag.
It is necessary to have this as a command so that the release tool
can execute it for old branches where other packages might have been
configured. This is similar to the separate `ng-dev build` command
that we created.
Note that we also added logic for spawning a process conveniently
with different "console output" modes. This will be useful for
other command invocations in the release tool and it's generally
better than directly using native `child_process` as that one doesn't
log to the dev-infra debug log file.
PR Close#38656
Adds a method for printing active release trains for a configured
project. This is helpful for the release tool that will print
the active release trains. Also this can be useful for the
caretaker status command, where we could print the active
version branches (i.e. "is there currently a feature-freeze branch").
PR Close#38656
Adds logic for determining active LTS branches for a given
release configuration. The active LTS branches can be determined
by querying NPM and matching dist tags against a specific
pattern. i.e. `v{major}-lts`.
This logic will be useful for the release tool that supports
publishing of active LTS version branches.
PR Close#38656
We initially added logic for determining active release trains into
the merge script. Given we now build more tools that rely on this
information, we move the logic into a more general "versioning" folder
that can contain common logic following the versioning document for the
Angular organization.
