Currently in Ivy `NgModule` registration happens when the class is declared, however this is inconsistent with ViewEngine and requires extra generated code. These changes remove the generated code for `registerModuleFactory`, pass the id through to the `ngModuleDef` and do the module registration inside `NgModuleFactory.create`.

Now that the dependent files and compilation scopes are being tracked in
the incremental state, we can skip analysing and emitting source files if
none of their dependent files have changed since the last compile.
The computation of what files (and their dependencies) are unchanged is
computed during reconciliation.
This commit also removes the previous emission skipping logic, since this
approach covers those cases already.

This is the final patch to migrate the Angular styling code to have a

functions and do not use `element` as a prefix for their names:
BEFORE:
elementStyling()
elementStyleProp()
elementClassProp()
elementStyleMap()
elementClassMap()
elementStylingApply()
AFTER:
styling()
styleProp()
classProp()
styleMap()

This patch removes all host-specific styling instructions in favor of

ngtsc generates type constructors which infer the type of a directive based
on its inputs. Previously, a bug existed where this inference would fail in
the case of 'any' input values. For example, the inference of NgForOf fails
when an 'any' is provided, as it causes TypeScript to attempt to solve:
T[] = any
In this case, T gets inferred as {}, the empty object type, which is not
desirable.
The fix is to assign generic types in type constructors a default type of
'any', which TypeScript uses instead of {} when inference fails.

ngtsc previously could attempt to reuse the main ts.Program twice. This
occurred when template type-checking was enabled and then an incremental
build was performed. This breaks a TypeScript invariant - ts.Programs can
only be reused once.
The creation of the template type-checking program reuses the main program,
rendering it moot. Then, on the next incremental build the main program
would be subject to reuse again, which would crash inside TypeScript.
This commit fixes the issue by reusing the template type-checking program
from the previous run on the next incremental build. Since under normal
circumstances the files in the type-checking program aren't changed, this
should be just as fast.
Testing strategy: a test is added in the incremental_spec which validates
that program reuse with type-checking turned on does not crash the compiler.

Template type-checking is enabled by default in the View Engine compiler.
The feature in Ivy is not quite ready for this yet, so this flag will
temporarily control whether templates are type-checked in ngtsc.
The goal is to remove this flag after rolling out template type-checking in
google3 in Ivy mode, and making sure the feature is as compatible with the
View Engine implementation as possible.
Initially, the default value of the flag will leave checking disabled.

This commit adds support for template type-checking a pipe binding which
previously was not handled by the type-checking engine. In compatibility
mode, the arguments to transform() are not checked and the type returned
by a pipe is 'any'. In full type-checking mode, the transform() method's
type signature is used to check the pipe usage and infer the return type
of the pipe.
Testing strategy: TCB tests included.
PR Close#29698
The template type-checking engine previously would assemble a type-checking
program by inserting Type Check Blocks (TCBs) into existing user files. This
approach proved expensive, as TypeScript has to re-parse and re-type-check
those files when processing the type-checking program.
Instead, a far more performant approach is to augment the program with a
single type-checking file, into which all TCBs are generated. Additionally,
type constructors are also inlined into this file.
This is not always possible - both TCBs and type constructors can sometimes
require inlining into user code, particularly if bound generic type
parameters are present, so the approach taken is actually a hybrid. These
operations are inlined if necessary, but are otherwise generated in a single
file.
It is critically important that the original program also include an empty
version of the type-checking file, otherwise the shape of the two programs
will be different and TypeScript will throw away all the old program
information. This leads to a painfully slow type checking pass, on the same
order as the original program creation. A shim to generate this file in the
original program is therefore added.
Testing strategy: this commit is largely a refactor with no externally
observable behavioral differences, and thus no tests are needed.
PR Close#29698
Previously the template type-checking code only considered the metadata of
directive classes actually referenced in the template. If those directives
had base classes, any inputs/outputs/etc of the base classes were not
tracked when generating the TCB. This resulted in bindings to those inputs
being incorrectly attributed to the host component or element.
This commit uses the new metadata package to follow directive inheritance
chains and use the full metadata for a directive for TCB generation.

So far using runtime i18n with ivy meant that you needed to use Closure and `goog.getMsg` (or a polyfill). This PR changes the compiler to output both closure & non-closure code, while the unused option will be tree-shaken by minifiers.
This means that if you use the Angular CLI with ivy and load a translations file, you can use i18n and the application will not throw at runtime.
For now it will not translate your application, but at least you can try ivy without having to remove all of your i18n code and configuration.

Prior to this change, a module's imports and exports would be used verbatim
as an injectors' imports. This is detrimental for tree-shaking, as a
module's exports could reference declarations that would then prevent such
declarations from being eligible for tree-shaking.
Since an injector actually only needs NgModule references as its imports,
we may safely filter out any declarations from the list of module exports.
This makes them eligible for tree-shaking once again.

Prior to this change, all module metadata would be included in the
`defineNgModule` call that is set as the `ngModuleDef` field of module
types. Part of the metadata is scope information like declarations,
imports and exports that is used for computing the transitive module
scope in JIT environments, preventing those references from being
tree-shaken for production builds.
This change moves the metadata for scope computations to a pure function
call that patches the scope references onto the module type. Because the
function is marked pure, it may be tree-shaken out during production builds
such that references to declarations and exports are dropped, which in turn
allows for tree-shaken any declaration that is not otherwise referenced.

This commit introduces a mechanism for incremental compilation to the ngtsc
compiler.
Previously, incremental information was used in the construction of the
ts.Program for subsequent compilations, but was not used in ngtsc itself.
This commit adds an IncrementalState class, which tracks state between ngtsc
compilations. Currently, this supports skipping the TypeScript emit step
when the compiler can prove the contents of emit have not changed.
This is implemented for @Injectables as well as for files which don't
contain any Angular decorated types. These are the only files which can be
proven to be safe today.
See ngtsc/incremental/README.md for more details.

Currently, ngtsc decides to use remote scoping if the compilation of a
component may create a cyclic import. This happens if there are two
components in a scope (say, A and B) and A directly uses B. During
compilation of B ngtsc will then note that if B were to use A, a cycle would
be generated, and so it will opt to use remote scoping for B.
ngtsc already uses the R3TargetBinder to correctly track the imports that
are actually required, for future cycle tracking. This commit expands that
usage to not trigger remote scoping unless B actually does consume A in its
template.

Currently when building an Angular project with `ngtsc`

if there are multiple source files as root file names.
Ngtsc and NGC currently determine the entry-point for multiple

This functionality is technically deprecated, but still supported

This fix is for a bug in the ngtsc PartialEvaluator, which statically
evaluates expressions.
Sometimes, evaluating a reference requires resolving a function which is
declared in another module, and thus no function body is available. To
support this case, the PartialEvaluator has the concept of a foreign
function resolver.
This allows the interpretation of expressions like:
const router = RouterModule.forRoot([]);
even though the definition of the 'forRoot' function has no body. In
ngtsc today, this will be resolved to a Reference to RouterModule itself,
via the ModuleWithProviders foreign function resolver.
However, the PartialEvaluator also associates any Identifiers in the path
of this resolution with the Reference. This is done so that if the user
writes
const x = imported.y;
'x' can be generated as a local identifier instead of adding an import for
'y'.
This was at the heart of a bug. In the above case with 'router', the
PartialEvaluator added the identifier 'router' to the Reference generated
(through FFR) to RouterModule.
This is not correct. References that result from FFR expressions may not
have the same value at runtime as they do at compile time (indeed, this is
not the case for ModuleWithProviders). The Reference generated via FFR is
"synthetic" in the sense that it's constructed based on a useful
interpretation of the code, not an accurate representation of the runtime
value. Therefore, it may not be legal to refer to the Reference via the
'router' identifier.
This commit adds the ability to mark such a Reference as 'synthetic', which
allows the PartialEvaluator to not add the 'router' identifier down the
line. Tests are included for both the PartialEvaluator itself as well as the
resultant buggy behavior in ngtsc overall.

Previously, ngtsc would resolve forward references while evaluating the
bootstrap, declaration, imports, and exports fields of NgModule types.
However, when generating the resulting ngModuleDef, the forward nature of
these references was not taken into consideration, and so the generated JS
code would incorrectly reference types not yet declared.
This commit fixes this issue by introducing function closures in the
NgModuleDef type, similarly to how NgComponentDef uses them for forward
declarations of its directives and pipes arrays. ngtsc will then generate
closures when required, and the runtime will unwrap them if present.

This fixes an issue with commit b6f6b117. In this commit, default imports
processed in a type-to-value conversion were recorded as non-local imports
with a '*' name, and the ImportManager generated a new default import for
them. When transpiled to ES2015 modules, this resulted in the following
correct code:
import i3 from './module';
// somewhere in the file, a value reference of i3:
{type: i3}
However, when the AST with this synthetic import and reference was
transpiled to non-ES2015 modules (for example, to commonjs) an issue
appeared:
var module_1 = require('./module');
{type: i3}
TypeScript renames the imported identifier from i3 to module_1, but doesn't
substitute later references to i3. This is because the import and reference
are both synthetic, and never went through the TypeScript AST step of
"binding" which associates the reference to its import. This association is
important during emit when the identifiers might change.
Synthetic (transformer-added) imports will never be bound properly. The only
possible solution is to reuse the user's original import and the identifier
from it, which will be properly downleveled. The issue with this approach
(which prompted the fix in b6f6b117) is that if the import is only used in a
type position, TypeScript will mark it for deletion in the generated JS,
even though additional non-type usages are added in the transformer. This
again would leave a dangling import.
To work around this, it's necessary for the compiler to keep track of
identifiers that it emits which came from default imports, and tell TS not
to remove those imports during transpilation. A `DefaultImportTracker` class
is implemented to perform this tracking. It implements a
`DefaultImportRecorder` interface, which is used to record two significant
pieces of information:
* when a WrappedNodeExpr is generated which refers to a default imported
value, the ts.Identifier is associated to the ts.ImportDeclaration via
the recorder.
* when that WrappedNodeExpr is later emitted as part of the statement /
expression translators, the fact that the ts.Identifier was used is
also recorded.
Combined, this tracking gives the `DefaultImportTracker` enough information
to implement another TS transformer, which can recognize default imports
which were used in the output of the Ivy transform and can prevent them
from being elided. This is done by creating a new ts.ImportDeclaration for
the imports with the same ts.ImportClause. A test verifies that this works.

Previously, when the NgModule scope resolver discovered semantic errors
within a users NgModules, it would throw assertion errors. TODOs in the
codebase indicated these should become ts.Diagnostics eventually.
Besides producing better-looking errors, there is another reason to make
this change asap: these assertions were shadowing actual errors, via an
interesting mechanism:
1) a component would produce a ts.Diagnostic during its analyze() step
2) as a result, it wouldn't register component metadata with the scope
resolver
3) the NgModule for the component references it in exports, which was
detected as an invalid export (no metadata registering it as a
component).
4) the resulting assertion error would crash the compiler, hiding the
real cause of the problem (an invalid component).
This commit should mitigate this problem by converting scoping errors to
proper ts.Diagnostics. Additionally, we should consider registering some
marker indicating a class is a directive/component/pipe without actually
requiring full metadata to be produced for it, which would allow suppression
of errors like "invalid export" for such invalid types.

This commit refactors and expands ngtsc's support for generating imports of
values from imports of types (this is used for example when importing a
class referenced in a type annotation in a constructor).
Previously, this logic handled "import {Foo} from" and "import * as foo
from" style imports, but failed on imports of default values ("import
Foo from"). This commit moves the type-to-value logic to a separate file and
expands it to cover the default import case. Doing this also required
augmenting the ImportManager to track default as well as non-default import
generation. The APIs were made a little cleaner at the same time.

ngtsc occasionally converts a type reference (such as the type of a
parameter in a constructor) to a value reference (argument to a
directiveInject call). TypeScript has a bad habit of sometimes removing
the import statement associated with this type reference, because it's a
type only import when it initially looks at the file.
A solution to this is to always add an import to refer to a type position
value that's imported, and not rely on the existing import.
