When looking at `TView` debug template only Element nodes were displayed
as `TNode.Element` was used for both `RElement` and `RText`.
Additionally no text was stored in `TNode.value`. The result was that
the whole template could not be reconstructed. This refactoring creates
`TNodeType.Text` and store the text value in `TNode.value`.
The refactoring also changes `TNodeType` into flag-like structure make
it more efficient to check many different types at once.

This commit replaces an assert with more descriptive error message that is thrown in case `<ng-template>` or `<ng-container>` is used as host element for a Component.
Resolves#35240.

This PR provides a more helpful error than the one currently present:
`el.setAttribute is not a function`. It is not valid to have directives with host bindings
on `ng-template` or `ng-container` nodes. VE would silently ignore this, while Ivy
attempts to set the attribute and throws an error because these are comment nodes
and do not have `setAttribute` functionality.
It is better to throw a helpful error than to silently ignore this because
putting a directive with host binding on an `ng-template` or `ng-container` is most often a mistake.
Developers should be made aware that the host binding will have no effect in these cases.
Note that an error is already thrown in Ivy, as mentioned above, so this
is not a breaking change and can be merged to both master and patch.

The _tViewNode field (that was marked as internal) on the ViewRef is not
necessery as a reference to a relevant TView is available as a local
variable.
