ngtsc has a robust suite of testing utilities, designed for in-memory
testing of a TypeScript compiler. Previously these utilities lived in the
`test` directory for the compiler-cli package.
This commit moves those utilities to an `ngtsc/testing` package, enabling
them to be depended on separately and opening the door for using them from
the upcoming language server testing infrastructure.
As part of this refactoring, the `fake_core` package (a lightweight API
replacement for @angular/core) is expanded to include functionality needed
for Language Service test use cases.

Previously, `CommonJsDependencyHost.collectDependencies()` would only
find dependencies via imports of the form `var foo = require('...');` or
`var foo = require('...'), bar = require('...');` However, CommonJS
files can have imports in many different forms. By failing to recognize
other forms of imports, the associated dependencies were missed, which
in turn resulted in entry-points being compiled out-of-order and failing
due to that.
While we cannot easily capture all different types of imports, this
commit enhances `CommonJsDependencyHost` to recognize the following
common forms of imports:
- Imports in property assignments. E.g.:
`exports.foo = require('...');` or
`module.exports = {foo: require('...')};`
- Imports for side-effects only. E.g.:
`require('...');`
- Star re-exports (with both emitted and imported heleprs). E.g.:
`__export(require('...'));` or
`tslib_1.__exportStar(require('...'), exports);`

Rather than return a new object of dependency info from calls to
`collectDependencies()` we now pass in an object that will be updated
with the dependency info. This is in preparation of a change where
we will collect dependency information from more than one
`DependencyHost`.
Also to better fit with this approach the name is changed from
`findDependencies()` to `collectDependencies()`.

There are two places in the ngcc processing where it needs to load the
content of a file given by a general path:
* when determining the format of an entry-point.
To do this ngcc uses the value of the relevant property in package.json.
But in the case of `main` it must parse the contents of the entry-point
file to decide whether the format is UMD or CommonJS.
* when parsing the source files for dependencies to determine the order in
which compilation must occur. The relative imports in each file are parsed
and followed recursively, looking for external imports.
Previously, we naively assumed that the path would match the file name exactly.
But actually we must consider the standard module resolution conventions.
E.g. the extension (.js) may be missing, or the path may refer to a directory
containing an index.js file.
This commit fixes both places.
This commit now requires the `DependencyHost` instances to check
the existence of more files than before (at worst all the different possible
post-fixes). This should not create a significant performance reduction for
ngcc. Since the results of the checks will be cached, and similar work is
done inside the TS compiler, so what we lose in doing it here, is saved later
in the processing. The main performance loss would be where there are lots
of files that need to be parsed for dependencies that do not end up being
processed by TS. But compared to the main ngcc processing this dependency
parsing is a small proportion of the work done and so should not impact
much on the overall performance of ngcc.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.
