Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.

This change introduces class/style reconciliation algorithm for DOM elements.
NOTE: The code is not yet hooked up, it will be used by future style algorithm.
Background:
Styling algorithm currently has [two paths](https://hackmd.io/@5zDGNGArSxiHhgvxRGrg-g/rycZk3N5S)
when computing how the style should be rendered.
1. A direct path which concatenates styling and uses `elemnent.className`/`element.style.cssText` and
2. A merge path which uses internal data structures and uses `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
The situation is confusing and hard to follow/maintain. So a future PR will remove the merge-path and do everything with
direct-path. This however breaks when some other code adds class or style to the element without Angular's knowledge.
If this happens instead of switching from direct-path to merge-path algorithm, this change provides a different mental model
whereby we always do `direct-path` but the code which writes to the DOM detects the situation and reconciles the out of bound write.
The reconciliation process is as follows:
1. Detect that no one has modified `className`/`cssText` and if so just write directly (fast path).
2. If out of bounds write did occur, switch from writing using `className`/`cssText` to `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
This does require that the write function computes the difference between the previous Angular expected state and current Angular state.
(This requires a parser. The advantage of having a parser is that we can support `style="width: {{exp}}px" kind of bindings.`)
Compute the diff and apply it in non destructive way using `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
Properties of approach:
- If no out of bounds style modification:
- Very fast code path: Just concatenate string in right order and write them to DOM.
- Class list order is preserved
- If out of bounds style modification detected:
- Penalty for parsing
- Switch to non destructive modification: `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
- Switch to alphabetical way of setting classes.

Prior to this patch all the styling benchmarks only tested for
template map-based style/class bindings. Because of each of the bindings
being only present in the template, there was no possibility of
there being any duplicate map-based styling bindings.
This benchmark introduces benchmarking for map-based style/class bindings
that are evaluated from both template bindings as well as directives.
This benchmark can be executed by calling:
```
bazel build //packages/core/test/render3/perf:duplicate_map_based_style_and_class_bindings_lib.min_debug.es2015.js
node dist/bin/packages/core/test/render3/perf/duplicate_map_based_style_and_class_bindings_lib.min_debug.es2015.js

The benchmark is also run via the `profile_all.js` script (found in
`packages/core/test/render3/perf/`)

When debugging `LView`s it is easy to get lost since all of them have
the same name. This change does three things:
1. It makes `TView` have an explicit type:
- `Host`: for the top level `TView` for bootstrap
- `Component`: for the `TView` which represents components template
- `Embedded`: for the `TView` which represents an embedded template
2. It changes the name of `LView` to `LHostView`, `LComponentView`, and
`LEmbeddedView` depending on the `TView` type.
3. For `LComponentView` and `LEmbeddedView` we also append the name of
of the `context` constructor. The result is that we have `LView`s which
are name as: `LComponentView_MyComponent` and `LEmbeddedView_NgIfContext`.
The above changes will make it easier to understand the structure of the
application when debugging.
NOTE: All of these are behind `ngDevMode` and will get removed in
production application.

This patch ensures that the `[style]` and `[class]` based bindings
are directly applied to an element's style and className attributes.
This patch optimizes the algorithm so that it...
- Doesn't construct an update an instance of `StylingMapArray` for
`[style]` and `[class]` bindings
- Doesn't apply `[style]` and `[class]` based entries using
`classList` and `style` (direct attributes are used instead)
- Doesn't split or iterate over all string-based tokens in a
string value obtained from a `[class]` binding.
This patch speeds up the following cases:
- `<div [class]>` and `<div class="..." [class]>`
- `<div [style]>` and `<div style="..." [style]>`
The overall speec increase is by over 5x.

Currently Ivy stores the element attributes into an array above the component def and passes it into the relevant instructions, however the problem is that upon minification the array will get a unique name which won't compress very well. These changes move the attributes array into the component def and pass in the index into the instructions instead.
Before:
```
const _c0 = ['foo', 'bar'];
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', _c0);
}
});
```
After:
```
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
consts: [['foo', 'bar']],
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', 0);
}
});
```
A couple of cases that this PR doesn't handle:
* Template references are still in a separate array.
* i18n attributes are still in a separate array.
