The current implementation for redirecting users inside guards was in place
before the feature was added to allow `CanActivate` and `CanActivateChild` guards
to return `UrlTree` for redirecting users.
Returning `UrlTree` should be the default method, as it provides a more desirable
redirecting experience. When using `router.navigate` followed by `return false`,
the `Router` calls `resetUrlToCurrentUrlTree` (in the `finalize` operator) before
processing the navigation to the new route. This can result in an undesirable
history if the navigation was the first navigation in the application - that is,
the route will briefly be reset to just `/` (see #36187).

This rewrite changes headings to focus on user tasks rather than features,
verifies that content is up-to-date and complete, removes colloquial phrases,
adds prerequisites, and expands on a task-based section in the beginning
(a quick reference).

Previously, only e2e tests were run for docs examples on CI. As a
result, unit tests (which are included in the zipped archives we provide
for users to download and play with the examples locally) were often
outdated and broken.
This commit configures specific docs examples that have meaningful unit
tests to run them on CI (via the `run-example-e2e.js` script). Where
necessary, the unit tests are fixed to ensure they pass and reflect the
changes in the corresponding component/service.
This commit also removes some auto-generated unit tests that are not
meaningful (e.g. make trivial assertions, such that a component instance
is truthy) and are often broken anyway (e.g. because the corresponding
component has been changed in ways that make the tests fail).

Previously, the example in the `router` guide was not
preserving the query params after logging in.
This commit fixes this by using `navigate` instead of
using `navigateByUrl`, which ignores any properties in
the `NavigationExtras` that would change the provided URL.

The StackBlitz API (which we use to generate StackBlitz projects on the
fly, when a user clicks on a live example link in the docs) allows
specifying the file to open in the editor by passing a query param. If
no file is specified, StackBlitz opens a default one. In the past, it
used to be `main.ts` and nowadays it seems to be `app.component.ts`.
StackBlitz builder, the tool that we use to generate the StackBlitz
projects, allows specifying the primary file by setting the `file`
property in the corresponding `stackblitz.json`.
Previously, if the `file` property was not set, StackBlitz builder would
not specify a file, thus falling back on StackBlitz's default behavior.
This was not great, because the default behavior may change unexpectedly
is the future to something that is less useful for our users.
This commit change StackBlitz builder to always specify a primary file.
If no file is specified in `stackblitz.json`, the builder will look
for the first file that exists in the example from a list of predefined
files.
Partially addresses #22357.

This patch removes the deprecated support for animation
symbol imports from @angular/core.
BREAKING CHANGE: it is no longer possible to import
animation-related functions from @angular/core. All
animation symbols must now be imported from @angular/animations.
