This commit changes the partial evaluation mechanism to propagate
DynamicValue errors internally during evaluation, and not to "poison"
entire data structures when a single value is dynamic. For example,
previously if any entry in an array was dynamic, evaluating the entire
array would return DynamicValue. Now, the array is returned with only
the specific dynamic entry as DynamicValue.
Instances of DynamicValue also report the node that was determined to
be dynamic, as well as a potential reason for the dynamic-ness. These
can be nested, so an expression `a + b` may have a DynamicValue that
indicates the 'a' term was DynamicValue, which will itself contain a
reason for the dynamic-ness.
This work was undertaken for the implementation of listLazyRoutes(),
which needs to partially evaluate provider arrays, parts of which are
dynamic and parts of which contain useful information.

This refactoring moves code around between a few of the ngtsc subpackages,
with the goal of having a more logical package structure. Additional
interfaces are also introduced where they make sense.
The 'metadata' package formerly contained both the partial evaluator,
the TypeScriptReflectionHost as well as some other reflection functions,
and the Reference interface and various implementations. This package
was split into 3 parts.
The partial evaluator now has its own package 'partial_evaluator', and
exists behind an interface PartialEvaluator instead of a top-level
function. In the future this will be useful for reducing churn as the
partial evaluator becomes more complicated.
The TypeScriptReflectionHost and other miscellaneous functions have moved
into a new 'reflection' package. The former 'host' package which contained
the ReflectionHost interface and associated types was also merged into this
new 'reflection' package.
Finally, the Reference APIs were moved to the 'imports' package, which will
consolidate all import-related logic in ngtsc.
