Rollup just prints a warning if an import cannot be resolved and ends up
being treated as an external dependency. This in combination with the
`silent = True` attribute for `rollup_bundle` means that bundles might
end up being extremely small without people noticing that it misses
actual imports.
To improve this situation, the warning is replaced by an error if
an import cannot be resolved.
This unveiles an issue with the `ng_rollup_bundle` macro from
dev-infra where imports in View Engine were not resolved but ended
up being treated as external. This did not prevent benchmarks using
this macro from working because the ConcatJS devserver had builtin
resolution for workspace manifest paths. Though given the new check
for no unresolved imports, this will now cause errors within Rollup, and
we need to fix the resolution. We can fix the issue by temporarily
enabling workspace linking. This does not have any performance
downsides.
To enable workspace linking (which we might need more often in the
future given the linker taking over patched module resolution), we
had to rename the `angular` dependency to a more specific one so
that the Angular linker could link into `node_modules/angular`.

Refactors the `ng_rollup_bundle` rule to a macro that relies on
the `@bazel/rollup` package. This means that the rule no longer
deals with custom ESM5 flavour output, but rather only builds
prodmode ES2015 output. This matches the common build output
in Angular projects, and optimizations done in CLI where
ES2015 is the default optimization input.
The motiviation for this change is:
* Not duplicating rollup Bazel rules. Instead leveraging the official
rollup rule.
* Not dealing with a third TS output flavor in Bazel.The ESM5 flavour has the
potential of slowing down local development (as it requires compilation replaying)
* Updating the rule to be aligned with current CLI optimizations.
This also _fixes_ a bug that surfaced in the old rollup bundle rule.
Code that is unused, is not removed properly. The new rule fixes this by
setting the `toplevel` flag. This instructs terser to remove unused
definitions at top-level. This matches the optimization applied in CLI
projects. Notably the CLI doesn't need this flag, as code is always
wrapped by Webpack. Hence, the unused code eliding runs by default.
