In #38666 we changed how ngcc deals with type expressions, where it
would now always emit the original type expression into the generated
code as a "local" type value reference instead of synthesizing new
imports using an "imported" type value reference. This was done as a fix
to properly deal with renamed symbols, however it turns out that the
compiler has special handling for certain imported symbols, e.g.
`ChangeDetectorRef` from `@angular/core`. The "local" type value
reference prevented this special logic from being hit, resulting in
incorrect compilation of pipe factories.
This commit fixes the issue by manually inspecting the import of the
type expression, in order to return an "imported" type value reference.
By manually inspecting the import we continue to handle renamed symbols.

In the integration test suite of ngcc, we load a set of files from
`node_modules` into memory. This includes the `typescript` package and
`@angular` scoped packages, which account for a large number of large
files that needs to be loaded from disk. This commit moves this work
to the top-level, such that it doesn't have to be repeated in all tests.

As of version 10, libraries following the APF will no longer contain
ESM5 output. Hence, tests in ngcc need to be updated as they currently
rely on the release output of `@angular/core`.
Additionally, we'd need to support in ngcc that the `module`
property of entry-points no longer necessarily refers to
`esm5` output, but instead can also target `esm2015`.
We currently achieve this by checking the path the `module`
property points to. We can do this because as per APF, the
folder name is known for the esm2015 output. Long-term for
more coverage, we want to sniff the format by looking for
known ES2015 constructs in the file `module` refers to.

The format property for ES5 bundles should be "module" or "es5"/"esm5",
but was "main" instead. The "main" property is appropriate for CommonJS
and UMD bundles, not for ES5 bundles.

Consider a library that uses a shared constant for host bindings. e.g.
```ts
export const BASE_BINDINGS= {
'[class.mat-themed]': '_isThemed',
}
----
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir1 {}
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir2 {}
```
Previously when these components were shipped as part of the
library to NPM, consumers were able to consume `Dir1` and `Dir2`.
No errors showed up.
Now with Ivy, when ngcc tries to process the library, an error
will be thrown. The error is stating that the host bindings should
be an object (which they obviously are). This happens because
TypeScript transforms the object spread to individual
`Object.assign` calls (for compatibility).
The partial evaluator used by the `@Directive` annotation handler
is unable to process this expression because there is no
integrated support for `Object.assign`. In View Engine, this was
not a problem because the `metadata.json` files from the library
were used to compute the host bindings.

ngcc has a basic integration test infrastructure that downlevels
TypeScript code into bundle formats that need to be processed by ngcc.
Until now, only ES5 bundles were created with a flat structure, however
more complex scenarios require an APF-like layout containing multiple
bundle formats.

In Angular View Engine, there are two kinds of decorator inheritance:
1) both the parent and child classes have decorators
This case is supported by InheritDefinitionFeature, which merges some fields
of the definitions (such as the inputs or queries).
2) only the parent class has a decorator
If the child class is missing a decorator, the compiler effectively behaves
as if the parent class' decorator is applied to the child class as well.
This is the "undecorated child" scenario, and this commit adds a migration
to ngcc to support this pattern in Ivy.
This migration has 2 phases. First, the NgModules of the application are
scanned for classes in 'declarations' which are missing decorators, but
whose base classes do have decorators. These classes are the undecorated
children. This scan is performed recursively, so even if a declared class
has a base class that itself inherits a decorator, this case is handled.
Next, a synthetic decorator (either @Component or @Directive) is created
on the child class. This decorator copies some critical information such
as 'selector' and 'exportAs', as well as supports any decorated fields
(@Input, etc). A flag is passed to the decorator compiler which causes a
special feature `CopyDefinitionFeature` to be included on the compiled
definition. This feature copies at runtime the remaining aspects of the
parent definition which `InheritDefinitionFeature` does not handle,
completing the "full" inheritance of the child class' decorator from its
parent class.
