DEPRECATION:
platform-webworker has been around since the initial release of Angular
version 2. It began as an experiment to leverage Angular's rendering
architecture and try something different: to run an entire web application
in a web worker.
We've learned a lot from this experiment, and have come to the conclusion
that pushing entire applications to run in a web worker is not a recipe for
success for most applications. This is due to a number of unresolved issues,
including:
* Poor or non-existent support for web worker APIs in web crawlers/indexers.
* Poor support in build and bundling tooling.
As a result, as of Angular version 8, we are deprecating the
`platform-webworker` APIs in Angular. This consists of both NPM packages,
`@angular/platform-webworker` and `@angular/platform-webworker-dynamic`.
Going forward, we will focus our efforts related to web workers around their
primary use case of offloading CPU-intensive but not critical work.

DEPRECATION:
Angular previously has supported an integration with the Web Tracing
Framework (WTF) for performance testing of Angular applications. This
integration has not been maintained and likely does not work for the
majority of Angular applications today. As a result, we are deprecating
the integration in Angular version 8.
This deprecation covers the following public APIs:
* `WtfScopeFn`
* `wtfCreateScope`
* `wtfStartTimeRange`
* `wtfEndTimeRange`
* `wtfLeave`

Currently if a project has source-files with syntax failures and the migration
has been started on a broken project, we silently migrate *as much as possible*,
but never notify the developer that the project was in a broken state and that
he can re-run the migration after the failures are fixed.
Additionally the template strategy does not need to exit gracefully if it detects
Angular semantic diagnostics on generated files (template type checking). These
diagnostics are not relevant for the query timing analysis.

We are removing the prompt for the `static-query` migration and make the
template strategy the migration strategy for the migration. The usage
strategy is good for best-practices, but for now we want to ensure that
the migration is a seamless as possible and that is only achievable my
re-using the same logic that View Engine uses for determining the
timing of a query.

Prior to this change a component was considered unresolved (i.e. having dynamic resources that should be loaded, like external template or stylesheets) even if template override was provided as an empty string (for example, via TestBed.overrideTemplateUsingTestingModule call). This commit fixes the condition that previously treated empty string as an absent template value.

With Ivy, injecting a `ViewContainerRef` for a `<ng-container>` element
results in two comments generated in the DOM. One comment as host
element for the `ElementContainer` and one for the generated `LContainer`
which is needed for the created `ViewContainerRef`.
This is problematic as developers expect the same anchor element for
the `LContainer` and the `ElementContainer` in order to be able to move
the host element of `<ng-container>` without leaving the actual
`LContainer` anchor element at the original location.
This worked differently in View Engine and various applications might
depend on the behavior where the `ViewContainerRef` shares the anchor
comment node with the host comment node of the `<ng-container>`. For
example `CdkTable` from `@angular/cdk` moves around the host element of
a `<ng-container>` and also expects embedded views to be inserted next
to the moved `<ng-container>` host element.

The AbsoluteModuleStrategy in ngtsc assumed that the source code is
formatted as TypeScript with regards to module exports.
In ngcc this is not always the case, so this commit changes
`AbsoluteModuleStrategy` so that it relies upon a `ReflectionHost` to
compute the exports of a module.

Prior to this change we processed binding expression (including bindings with pipes) in i18n attributes before we generate update instruction. As a result, slot offsets for pipeBind instructions were calculated incorrectly. Now we perform binding expression processing when we generate "update block" instructions, so offsets are calculated correctly.

Currently the `@angular/compiler-cli` compliance tests sometimes do
not throw an exception if the expected output does not match the
generated JavaScript output. This can happen for the following cases:
1. Expected code includes character that is not part of known alphabet
(e.g. `Δ` is still used in a new compliance test after rebasing a PR)
2. Expected code asserts that a string literal matches a string with
escaped quotes. e.g. expects `const $var$ = "\"quoted\"";`)

_compile_action should take a list since we compute it within one node in the build graph
This needs to be cleaned up since Bazel is getting stricter with
disallowing iteration over depsets

Currently we try to parse CLI workspace configurations gracefully by
using the native `JSON.parse()` method. This means that the CLI workspace
configuration needs to follow the strict JSON specification because otherwise
the migrations would not be able to find TypeScript configurations in the CLI
project where JSON5 workspace configurations are supported.
In order to handle such workspace configurations, we leverage the JSON
parsing logicfrom the `@angular-devkit/core` which is also used by the CLI.
