This commit updates the logic in the LS renaming to handle renaming of
pipes, both from the name expression in the pipe metadata as well as
from the template.
The approach here is to introduce a new concept for renaming: an
"indirect" rename. In this type of rename, we find rename locations
in with the native TS Language Service using a different node than the
one we are renaming. Using pipes as an example, if we want to rename the
pipe name from the string literal expression, we use the transform
method to find rename locations rather than the string literal itself
(which will not return any results because it's just a string).
So the general approach is:
* Determine the details about the requested rename location, i.e. the
targeted template node and symbol for a template rename, or the TS
node for a rename outside a template.
* Using the details of the location, determine if the node is attempting
to rename something that is an indirect rename (pipes, selectors,
bindings). Other renames are considered "direct" and we use whatever
results the native TSLS returns for the rename locations.
* In the case of indirect renames, we throw out results that do not
appear in the templates (in this case, the shim files). These results will be
for the "indirect" rename that we don't want to touch, but are only
using to find template results.
* Create an additional rename result for the string literal expression
that is used for the input/output alias, the pipe name, or the
selector.
Note that renaming is moving towards being much more accurate in its
results than "find references". When the approach for renaming
stabilizes, we may want to then port the changes back to being shared
with the approach for retrieving references.

`NgCompiler` previously had a notion of the "next" `ts.Program`, which
served two purposes:
* it allowed a client using the `ts.createProgram` API to query for the
latest program produced by the previous `NgCompiler`, as a starting
point for building the _next_ program that incorporated any new user
changes.
* it allowed the old `NgCompiler` to be queried for the `ts.Program` on
which all prior state is based, which is needed to compute the delta
from the new program to ultimately determine how much of the prior
state can be reused.
This system contained a flaw: it relied on the `NgCompiler` knowing when
the `ts.Program` would be changed. This works fine for changes that
originate in `NgCompiler` APIs, but a client of the `TemplateTypeChecker`
may use that API in ways that create new `ts.Program`s without the
`NgCompiler`'s knowledge. This caused the `NgCompiler`'s concept of the
"next" program to get out of sync, causing incorrectness in future
incremental analysis.
This refactoring cleans up the compiler's `ts.Program` management in
several ways:
* `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`, the API which controls `ts.Program`
updating, is renamed to the `ProgramDriver` and extracted to a separate
ngtsc package.
* It loses its responsibility of determining component shim filenames. That
functionality now lives exclusively in the template type-checking package.
* The "next" `ts.Program` concept is renamed to the "current" program, as
the "next" name was misleading in several ways.
* `NgCompiler` now wraps the `ProgramDriver` used in the
`TemplateTypeChecker` to know when a new `ts.Program` is created,
regardless of which API drove the creation, which actually fixes the bug.

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

This commit fixes the behavior when creating a type constructor for a directive when the following
conditions are met.
1. The directive has bound generic parameters.
2. Inlining is not available. (This happens for language service compiles).
Previously, we would throw an error saying 'Inlining is not supported in this environment.' The
compiler would stop type checking, and the developer could lose out on getting errors after the
compiler gives up.
This commit adds a useInlineTypeConstructors to the type check config. When set to false, we use
`any` type for bound generic parameters to avoid crashing. When set to true, we inline the type
constructor when inlining is required.

The `TemplateTypeChecker.overrideComponentTemplate` operation was originally
conceived as a "fast path" for the Language Service to react to a template
change without needing to go through a full incremental compilation step. It
served this purpose until the previous commit, which switches the LS to use
the new resource-only incremental change operation provided by `NgCompiler`.
`overrideComponentTemplate` is now no longer utilized, and is known to have
several hard-to-overcome issues that prevent it from being useful in any
other situations. As such, this commit removes it entirely.

invalidating `TemplateTypeChecker` state for the component(s) in question.
That way, querying the `TemplateTypeChecker` will trigger new TCB generation
for the changed template(s).

Durring analysis we find template parse errors. This commit changes
where the type checking context stores the parse errors. Previously, we
stored them on the AnalysisOutput this commit changes the errors to be
stored on the TemplateData (which is a property on the shim). That way,
the template parse errors can be grouped by template.
Previously, if a template had a parse error, we poisoned the module and
would not procede to find typecheck errors. This change does not poison
modules whose template have typecheck errors, so that ngtsc can emit
typecheck errors for templates with parse errors.
Additionally, all template diagnostics are produced in the same place.
This allows requesting just the template template diagnostics or just
other types of errors.

The Language Service "find references" currently uses the
`ngtypecheck.ts` suffix to determine if a file is a shim file. Instead,
a better API would be to expose a method in the template type checker
that does this verification so that the LS does not have to "know" about
the typecheck suffix. This also fixes an issue (albeit unlikely) whereby a file
in the user's program that _actually_ is named with the `ngtypecheck.ts`
suffix would have been interpreted as a shim file.
PR Close#39768
This commit adds "find references" functionality to the Ivy integrated
language service. The basic approach is as follows:
1. Generate shims for all files to ensure we find references in shims
throughout the entire program
2. Determine if the position for the reference request is within a
template.
* Yes, it is in a template: Find which node in the template AST the
position refers to. Then find the position in the shim file for that
template node. Pass the shim file and position in the shim file along
to step 3.
* No, the request for references was made outside a template: Forward
the file and position to step 3.
3. (`getReferencesAtTypescriptPosition`): Call the native TypeScript LS
`getReferencesAtPosition`. For each reference that is in a shim file, map those
back to a template location, otherwise return it as-is.

Consumers of the `TemplateTypeChecker` API could be interested in
mapping from a shim location back to the original source location in the

in the TypeScript shim file, and we will then need to be able to map the
result back to the template.

This commit refactors the previously introduced `getGlobalCompletions()` API
for the template type-checker in a couple ways:
* The return type is adjusted to use a `Map` instead of an array, and

cleaner integration in the language service.
* A new `CompletionEngine` class is introduced which powers autocompletion
for a single component, and can cache completion results.
* The `CompletionEngine` for each component is itself cached on the
`TemplateTypeCheckerImpl` and is invalidated when the component template
is overridden or reset.
This refactoring simplifies the `TemplateTypeCheckerImpl` class by
extracting the autocompletion logic, enables caching for better performance,
and prepares for the introduction of other autocompletion APIs.

the template's component context or a declaration such as a local reference

In Ivy, template type-checking has 3 modes: basic, full, and strict. The
primary difference between basic and full modes is that basic mode only
checks the top-level template, whereas full mode descends into nested
templates (embedded views like ngIfs and ngFors). Ivy applies this approach
to all of its template type-checking, including the DOM schema checks which
validate whether an element is a valid component/directive or not.
View Engine has both the basic and the full mode, with the same distinction.
However in View Engine, DOM schema checks happen for the full template even
in the basic mode.
Ivy's behavior here is technically a "fix" as it does not make sense for
some checks to apply to the full template and others only to the top-level
view. However, since g3 relies exclusively on the basic mode of checking and
developers there are used to DOM checks applying throughout their template,
this commit re-enables the nested schema checks even in basic mode only in
g3. This is done by enabling the checks only when Closure Compiler
annotations are requested.
Outside of g3, it's recommended that applications use at least the full mode
of checking (controlled by the `fullTemplateTypeCheck` flag), and ideally
the strict mode (`strictTemplates`).

The statements generated in the TCB are optimized for performance and producing diagnostics.
These optimizations can result in generating a TCB that does not have all the information
needed by the `TemplateTypeChecker` for retrieving `Symbol`s. For example, as an optimization,
the TCB will not generate variable declaration statements for directives that have no
references, inputs, or outputs. However, the `TemplateTypeChecker` always needs these
statements to be present in order to provide `ts.Symbol`s and `ts.Type`s for the directives.

The `R3TargetBinder` accepts an interface for directive metadata which
declares types for `input` and `output` objects. These types convey the
mapping between the property names for an input or output and the
corresponding property name on the component class. Due to
`R3TargetBinder`'s requirements, this mapping was specified with property
names as keys and field names as values.
However, because of duck typing, this interface was accidentally satisifed
by the opposite mapping, of field names to property names, that was produced
in other parts of the compiler. This form more naturally represents the data
model for inputs.
Rather than accept the field -> property mapping and invert it, this commit
introduces a new abstraction for such mappings which is bidirectional,
eliminating the ambiguous plain object type. This mapping uses new,
unambiguous terminology ("class property name" and "binding property name")
and can be used to satisfy both the needs of the binder as well as those of
the template type-checker (field -> property).
A new test ensures that the input/output metadata produced by the compiler
during analysis is directly compatible with the binder via this unambiguous
new interface.

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always use a
type-constructor to instantiate a directive. This type-constructor call
serves two purposes:
1. Infer any generic types for the directive instance from the inputs
that are passed in.
2. Type check the inputs that are passed into the directive's inputs.
The first purpose is only relevant when the directive actually has any
generic types and using a type-constructor for these cases inhibits
a type-check performance penalty, as a type-constructor's signature is
quite complex and needs to be generated for each directive.
This commit refactors the generated type-check blocks to only generate
a type-constructor call for directives that have generic types. Type
checking of inputs is achieved by generating individual statements for
all inputs, using assignments into the directive's fields.
Even if a type-constructor is used for type-inference of generic types
will the input checking also be achieved using the individual assignment
statements. This is done to support the rework of the language service,
which will start to extract symbol information from the type-check
blocks.
As a future optimization, it may be possible to reduce the number of
inputs passed into a type-constructor to only those inputs that
contribute the the type-inference of the generics. As this is not a
necessity at the moment this is left as follow-up work.

whole program or is truly interested in just the single file. If the latter,
the `TemplateTypeChecker` can perform only the work needed to produce
diagnostics for just that file, thus returning answers more efficiently.

The template type-checking engine relies on the abstraction interface
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to create updated `ts.Program`s for
template type-checking. The basic API is that the type-checking engine
requests changes to certain files in the program, and the strategy provides
an updated `ts.Program`.
Typically, such changes are made to 'ngtypecheck' shim files, but certain
conditions can cause template type-checking to require "inline" operations,
which change user .ts files instead. The strategy used by 'ngc' (the
`ReusedProgramStrategy`) supports these kinds of updates, but other clients
such as the language service might not always support modifying user files.
To accommodate this, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` interface was
modified to include a `supportsInlineOperations` flag. If an implementation
specifies `false` for inline support, the template type-checking system will
return diagnostics on components which would otherwise require inline
operations.
