With #31953 we moved the factories for components, directives and pipes into a new field called `ngFactoryDef`, however I decided not to do it for injectables, because they needed some extra logic. These changes set up the `ngFactoryDef` for injectables as well.
For reference, the extra logic mentioned above is that for injectables we have two code paths:
1. For injectables that don't configure how they should be instantiated, we create a `factory` that proxies to `ngFactoryDef`:
```
// Source
@Injectable()
class Service {}
// Output
class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => Service.ngFactoryFn(),
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();
}
```
2. For injectables that do configure how they're created, we keep the `ngFactoryDef` and generate the factory based on the metadata:
```
// Source
@Injectable({
useValue: DEFAULT_IMPL,
})
class Service {}
// Output
export class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => DEFAULT_IMPL,
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();
}
```

There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

The `Δ` caused issue with other infrastructure, and we are temporarily
changing it to `ɵɵ`.
This commit also patches ts_api_guardian_test and AIO to understand `ɵɵ`.

Currently the ImportManager class handles various rewriting actions of
imports when compiling @angular/core. This is required as code compiled
within @angular/core cannot import from '@angular/core'. To work around
this, imports are rewritten to get core symbols from a particular file,
r3_symbols.ts.
In this refactoring, this rewriting logic is moved out of the ImportManager
and put behind an interface, ImportRewriter. There are three implementers
of the interface:
* NoopImportRewriter, used for compiling all non-core packages.
* R3SymbolsImportRewriter, used when ngtsc compiles @angular/core.
* NgccFlatImportRewriter, used when ngcc compiles @angular/core (special
logic is needed because ngcc has to rewrite imports in flat bundles
differently than in non-flat bundles).
This is a precursor to using this rewriting logic in other contexts besides
the ImportManager.

When ngtsc compiles @angular/core, it rewrites core imports to the
r3_symbols.ts file that exposes all internal symbols under their
external name. When creating the FESM bundle, the r3_symbols.ts file
causes the external symbol names to be rewritten to their internal name.
Under ngcc compilations of FESM bundles, the indirection of
r3_symbols.ts is no longer in place such that the external names are
retained in the bundle. Previously, the external name `ɵdefineNgModule`
was explicitly declared internally to resolve this issue, but the
recently added `setClassMetadata` was not declared as such, causing
runtime errors.
Instead of relying on the r3_symbols.ts file to perform the rewrite of
the external modules to their internal variants, the translation is
moved into the `ImportManager` during the compilation itself. This
avoids the need for providing the external name manually.

This commit introduces the setClassMetadata() private function, which
adds metadata to a type in a way that can be accessed via Angular's
ReflectionCapabilities. Currently, it writes to static fields as if
the metadata being added was downleveled from decorators by tsickle.
The plan is for ngtsc to emit code which calls this function, passing
metadata on to the runtime for testing purposes. Calls to this function
would then be tree-shaken away for production bundles.
Testing strategy: proper operation of this function will be an integral
part of TestBed metadata overriding. Angular core tests will fail if this
is broken.

When @angular/core is compiled by ngtsc, a factory file is generated
for ApplicationModule, that is currently invalid because r3_symbols
does not export NgModuleFactory. This change fixes that issue and
ensures the generated ngfactory file for @angular/core is valid.

Previously, some of the *Def symbols were not exported or were exported
as public API. This commit ensures every definition type is in the
private export namespace.
PR Close#24862
On accident a few of the definition types were emitted as public API
symbols. Much of the Ivy API surface is still prefixed with ɵ,
indicating it's a private API. The definition types should be private
for now.

@angular/core is unique in that it defines the Angular decorators
(@Component, @Directive, etc). Ordinarily ngtsc looks for imports
from @angular/core in order to identify these decorators. Clearly
within core itself, this strategy doesn't work.
Instead, a special constant ITS_JUST_ANGULAR is declared within a
known file in @angular/core. If ngtsc sees this constant it knows
core is being compiled and can ignore the imports when evaluating
decorators.
Additionally, when compiling decorators ngtsc will often write an
import to @angular/core for needed symbols. However @angular/core
cannot import itself. This change creates a module within core to
export all the symbols needed to compile it and adds intelligence
within ngtsc to write relative imports to that module, instead of
absolute imports to @angular/core.
