This patch is a final major refactor in styling Angular.
This PR includes three main fixes:
All temporary state taht is persisted between template style/class application
and style/class application in host bindings is now removed.
Removes the styling() and stylingApply() instructions.
Introduces a "direct apply" mode that is used apply prop-based
style/class in the event that there are no map-based bindings as
well as property collisions.

Replaces the `select` instruction with a new one called `advance`. Instead of the jumping to a specific index, the new instruction goes forward X amount of elements. The advantage of doing this is that it should generate code the compresses better.

The `goog.getMsg()` function requires placeholder names to be camelCased.
This is not the case for `$localize`. Here placeholder names need
match what is serialized to translation files.
Specifically such placeholder names keep their casing but have all characters
that are not in `a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9` and `_` converted to `_`.

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.

As part of FW-1265, the `@angular/compiler` package is made compatible
with the TypeScript `--strict` flag. This already unveiled a few bugs,
so the strictness flag seems to help with increasing the overall code health.

Fixes Ivy matching directives against attribute bindings (e.g. `[attr.some-directive]="foo"`). Works by excluding attribute bindings from the attributes array during compilation. This has the added benefit of generating less code.
**Note:** My initial approach to implementing this was to have a different marker for attribute bindings so that they can be ignored when matching directives, however as I was implementing it I realized that the attributes in that array were only used for directive matching (as far as I could tell). I decided to drop the attribute bindings completely, because it results in less generated code.

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`).

Adds the new `classMapInterpolate1` through `classMapInterpolate8` instructions which handle interpolations inside the `class` attribute and moves the interpolation logic internally. This allows us to remove the `interpolationX` instructions in a follow-up PR.
These changes also add an error if an interpolation is encountered inside a `style` tag (e.g. `style="width: {{value}}"`). Up until now this would actually generate valid instructions, because `styleMap` goes through the same code path as `classMap` which does support interpolation. At runtime, however, `styleMap` would set invalid styles that look like `<div style="0:w;1:i;2:d;3:t;4:h;5::;7:1;">`. In `ViewEngine` interpolations inside `style` weren't supported either, however there we'd output invalid styles like `<div style="unsafe">`, even if the content was trusted.

Currently each property binding generates an instruction like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1);
property('prop2', ctx.value2);
```
The problem is that we're repeating the call to `property` for each of the properties. Since the `property` instruction returns itself, we can chain all of the calls which is more compact and it looks like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1)('prop2', ctx.value2);
```
These changes implement the chaining behavior for regular property bindings and for synthetic ones, however interpolated ones are still handled like before, because they use a separate instruction.

To provide some context: The implicit receiver is part of the
parsed Angular template AST. Any property reads in bindings,
interpolations etc. read from a given object (usually the component
instance). In that case there is an _implicit_ receiver which can also
be specified explicitly by just using `this`.
e.g.
```html
<ng-template>{{this.myProperty}}</ng-template>
```
This works as expected in Ivy and View Engine, but breaks in case the
implicit receiver is not used for property reads. For example:
```html
<my-dir [myFn]="greetFn.bind(this)"></my-dir>
```
In that case the `this` will not be properly translated into the generated
template function code because the Ivy compiler currently always treats
the `ctx` variable as the implicit receiver. This is **not correct** and breaks
compatibility with View Engine. Rather we need to ensure that we retrieve
the root context for the standalone implicit receiver similar to how it works
for property reads (as seen in the example above with `this.myProperty`)
Note that this requires some small changes to the `expression_converter`
because we only want to generate the `eenextContent()` instruction if the
implicit receiver is _actually_ used/needed. View Engine determines if that is the case by recursively walking through the converted output AST and
checking for usages of the `o.variable('_co')` variable ([see here][ve_check]). This would work too for Ivy, but involves most likely more code duplication
since templates are isolated in different functions and it another pass
through the output AST for every template expression.

PR Close#30829
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.

With View engine it was possible to declare multiple projection
definitions and to programmatically project nodes into the slots.
e.g.
```html
<ng-content></ng-content>
<ng-content></ng-content>
```
Using `ViewContainerRef#createComponent` allowed projecting
nodes into one of the projection defs (through index)
This no longer works with Ivy as the `projectionDef` instruction only
retrieves a list of selectors instead of also retrieving entries for
reserved projection slots which appear when using the default
selector multiple times (as seen above).
In order to fix this issue, the Ivy compiler now passes all
projection slots to the `projectionDef` instruction. Meaning that
there can be multiple projection slots with the same wildcard
selector. This allows multi-slot projection as seen in the
example above, and it also allows us to match the multi-slot node
projection order from View Engine (to avoid breaking changes).
It basically ensures that Ivy fully matches the View Engine behavior
except of a very small edge case that has already been discussed
in FW-886 (with the conclusion of working as intended).

Prior to this change we processed binding expression (including bindings with pipes) in i18n attributes before we generate update instruction.

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

styling-related instructions now work both in template and hostBindings
functions and do not use `element` as a prefix for their names:
BEFORE:
elementStyling()
elementStyleProp()
elementClassProp()
elementStyleMap()
elementClassMap()
elementStylingApply()
AFTER:
styling()
styleProp()
classProp()
styleMap()
classMap()

Prior to this patch, the `select(n)` instruction would only be generated

instruction prior to being generated in AOT.

the complexity of the styling algorithm code for `[style]` and `[class]`
bindings.

Previously, a template's context name would only be included in an embedded
template function if the element that the template was declared on has a
tag name. This is generally true for elements, except for `ng-content`
that does not have a tag name. By omitting the context name the compiler
could introduce duplicate template function names, which would fail at runtime.
This commit fixes the behavior by always including the context name in the
template function's name, regardless of tag name.

So far using runtime i18n with ivy meant that you needed to use Closure and `goog.getMsg` (or a polyfill). This PR changes the compiler to output both closure & non-closure code, while the unused option will be tree-shaken by minifiers.
This means that if you use the Angular CLI with ivy and load a translations file, you can use i18n and the application will not throw at runtime.
For now it will not translate your application, but at least you can try ivy without having to remove all of your i18n code and configuration.
PR Close#28689
Currently in Ivy we pass both the raw and parsed selectors to the projectionDef instruction, because the parsed selectors are used to match most nodes, whereas the raw ones are used to match against nodes with the ngProjectAs attribute. The raw selectors add a fair bit of code that won't be used in most cases, because ngProjectAs is somewhat rare.
These changes rework the compiler not to output the raw selectors in the projectionDef, but to parse the selector in ngProjectAs and to store it on the TAttributes. The logic for matching has also been changed so that it matches the pre-parsed ngProjectAs selector against the list of projection selectors.
