Currently the `ts-circular-deps` tool uses a hard-coded module resolver
that only works in the `angular/angular` repository.
If the tool is consumed in other repositories through the shared
dev-infra package, the module resolution won't work, and a few
resolvable imports (usually cross-entry-points) are accidentally
skipped. For each test, the resolution might differ, so tests can
now configure their module resolution in a configuration file.
Note that we intentionally don't rely on tsconfig's for module
resolution as parsing their mappings rather complicates the
circular dependency tool. Additionally, not every test has a
corresponding tsconfig file.
Also, hard-coding mappings to `@angular/*` while accepting a
path to the packages folder would work, but it would mean
that the circular deps tool is no longer self-contained. Rather,
and also for better flexibility, a custom resolver should be
specified.
