Prior to this commit, complex expressions (that require additional statements to be generated) were handled incorrectly in case they were used in attributes annotated with i18n flags. The problem was caused by the fact that extra statements were not appended to the temporary vars block, so they were missing in generated code. This commit updated the logic to use the `convertPropertyBinding`, which contains the necessary code to append extra statements. The `convertExpressionBinding` function was removed as it duplicates the `convertPropertyBinding` one (for the most part) and is no longer used.

This commit changes the Angular compiler (ivy-only) to generate `$localize`
tagged strings for component templates that use `i18n` attributes.
BREAKING CHANGE
Since `$localize` is a global function, it must be included in any applications
that use i18n. This is achieved by importing the `@angular/localize` package
into an appropriate bundle, where it will be executed before the renderer
needs to call `$localize`. For CLI based projects, this is best done in
the `polyfills.ts` file.
```ts
import '@angular/localize';
```
For non-CLI applications this could be added as a script to the index.html
file or another suitable script file.

Similar to interpolation, we do not want to completely remove whitespace
nodes that are siblings of an expansion.
For example, the following template
```html
<div>
<strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}
</div>
```
was being collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong>{count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left4
```
instead it should be collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left 4
```

**Analysis of the code and manual testing has shown that this does not cause
the generated ids to change, so there is no breaking change here.**

This commit fixes a bug where ICU expressions inserted into ngTemplateOutlets
that are inside ngFor blocks would throw an error. We were assuming in view
insertion code that text nodes would always exist by the time a view\`s
creation block had executed. This is not true for text nodes created dynamically
by ICUs because this happens in the update block (in `i18nApply`).
This change ensures such dynamically created nodes are skipped when encountered
too early (as they will be attached later by i18n code anyway).

This commit is the final patch of the ivy styling algorithm refactor.
This patch swaps functionality from the old styling mechanism to the
new refactored code by changing the instruction code the compiler
generates and by pointing the runtime instruction code to the new
styling algorithm.

Prior to this fix, the logic to set the right placeholder format for ICUs was a bit incorrect: if there was a nested ICU in one of the root ICU cases, that led to a problem where placeholders in subsequent branches used the wrong ({$placeholder}) format instead of {PLACEHOLDER} one. This commit updates the logic to make sure we properly transform all placeholders even if nested ICUs are present.
PR Close#31516
Since `goog.getMsg` does not process ICUs (post-processing is required via goog.i18n.MessageFormat, https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/goog.i18n.MessageFormat.html) and placeholder format used for ICUs and regular messages inside `goog.getMsg` are different, the current implementation (that assumed the same placeholder format) needs to be updated. This commit updates placeholder format used inside ICUs from `{$placeholder}` to `{PLACEHOLDER}` to better align with Closure. ICU placeholders (that were left as is prior to this commit) are now replaced with actual values in post-processing step (inside `i18nPostprocess`).

Prior to this commit, the `` unicode symbol that represents `&ngsp` in translations was not handled correctly, i.e. was not replaced with a whitespace, thus appearing on a screen. This commit adds post-processing and replaces the mentioned symbol with a whitespace.

`i18nStart` was calling `allocExpando` even if there was 0 new variable created.
This created a new expando instruction with the value 0 which was later interpreted as the start of a new expando block instead of just skipping 0 instructions.

Adds a new `elementContainer` instruction that can be used to avoid two instruction (`elementContainerStart` and `elementContainerEnd`) for `ng-container` that has text-only content. This is particularly useful when we have `ng-container` inside i18n sections.

When using `createEmbeddedView` after the creation of an ICU expression, the nodes for the current selected case were not reprojected (only the anchor comment node was moved to the new location).

`TView.firstChild` was defined as the first node with index 0, but when we use runtime i18n then the instruction `i18nStart` can be the one with index 0 and the first node will be index 1 or more.
With this fix we set `TView.firstChild` when we see the first node with index 0 or later if `TView.firstChild` is still null.

A directive input that doesn't use a binding is triggered during the creation phase. But this was only executed at the first template pass, and not on subsequent ones.
Now only the creation of the update instruction is executed on the first template pass, anything else is executed every time a template is created.

When translated content was projected, all of the content was reappended, even the placeholders that had been removed in the translation.
To avoid that we added a new flag on `TNode` that specifies that a node is detached, in which case it should be ignored by the projection.

PR Close#30783
Added a new syntax for projections (`¤` will represent `ng-content` nodes) so that we can treat them specifically.
When we enter an i18n block with the instruction `i18nStart`, a new `delayProjection` variable is set to true to prevent the instruction `projection` from projecting the nodes. Once we reach the `i18nEnd` instruction and encounter a projection in the translation we will project its nodes.
If a projection was removed from a translation, then its nodes won't be projected at all.
The variable `delayProjection` is restored to `false` at the end of `i18nEnd` so that it doesn't stop projections outside of i18n blocks.

Projecting bare ICU expressions failed because we would assume that component's content nodes would be projected later and doing so at that point would be wasteful. But ICU nodes are handled independently and should be inserted immediately because they will be ignored by projections.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

Depending on which placeholders the translation uses, there are some legitimate cases where we might not use all placeholder replacements in `i18nPostprocess`. For example if some of the placeholders of the original messages have been removed in the translation.

With Ivy, injecting a `ViewContainerRef` for a `<ng-container>` element
results in two comments generated in the DOM. One comment as host
element for the `ElementContainer` and one for the generated `LContainer`
which is needed for the created `ViewContainerRef`.
This is problematic as developers expect the same anchor element for
the `LContainer` and the `ElementContainer` in order to be able to move
the host element of `<ng-container>` without leaving the actual
`LContainer` anchor element at the original location.
This worked differently in View Engine and various applications might
depend on the behavior where the `ViewContainerRef` shares the anchor
comment node with the host comment node of the `<ng-container>`. For
example `CdkTable` from `@angular/cdk` moves around the host element of
a `<ng-container>` and also expects embedded views to be inserted next
to the moved `<ng-container>` host element.

Prior to this change we processed binding expression (including bindings with pipes) in i18n attributes before we generate update instruction. As a result, slot offsets for pipeBind instructions were calculated incorrectly. Now we perform binding expression processing when we generate "update block" instructions, so offsets are calculated correctly.
