Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static field with the name ngAcceptInputType_value. If such a field is found
the type-checking expression for the input will use the static field's type
instead of the type for the @Input field,allowing for the expression of a
type conversion between the binding expression and the value being written
to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngAcceptInputType_value: {toString(): string};
}
```

`TypeScript` only supports merging and extending of `compilerOptions`. This is an implementation to support extending and inheriting of `angularCompilerOptions` from multiple files.
Closes: #22684

BREAKING CHANGE:
The `<template>` tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when
using Web Components).
This commit removes support for `<template>`. `<ng-template>` should be used
instead.
BEFORE:
<!-- html template -->
<template>some template content</template>
# tsconfig.json
{
# ...
"angularCompilerOptions": {
# ...
# This option is no more supported and will have no effect
"enableLegacyTemplate": [true|false]
}
}
AFTER:
<!-- html template -->
<ng-template>some template content</ng-template>

The "enableIvy" compiler option is the initial implementation
of the Render3 (or Ivy) code generation. This commit enables
generation generating "Hello, World" (example in the test)
but not much else. It is currenly only useful for internal Ivy
testing as Ivy is in development.

Also replaces “Angular Module” with “NgModule” wherever that is clarifying.
Continue using “module” when qualified as in “feature module”, “root module”, “routing module”, etc.

* fix(aio): allow code blocks to clear floated images
Previously the negative margin on the code headings were causing
floated images to overlay the start of a code block. Now all code block
successfully clear all floated elements.
* feat(aio): add a `.clear` class for clearing floating images
* fix(aio): tidy up image styles
The css rules for `img.right` and `img.left` allow authors easy
access to floating an image on the left or right, respectively.
The `.image-display` rule which was always found on a figure
has been simplified so that all figures have this styling. It is very
unlikely that a figure will be used outside the content area; and
at this time it seems like `figure` is as good an indicator that we
want this kind of styling as anything.
Now that images are all tagged with width and height values, we cannot
assume to modify these dimensions via CSS as it can cause the image to
lose its correct proportions. Until we find a better solition we must set
`height` to `auto` when the screen width is below 1300px to ensure that
these images maintain their proportions as they get shrunk to fit.
* docs(aio): general tidy up of image HTML in guides
Previously, the guides have a lot of inline image styling and unnecessary
use of the `image-display` css class.
Images over 700px are problematic for guide docs, so those have been given
specific widths and associated heights.
* docs(aio): use correct anchor for "back to the top" link
The `#toc` anchor does not work when the page is
wide enough that the TOC is floating to the side.
* build(aio): add `#top-of-page` to path variants for link checking
Since the `#top-of-page` is outside the rendered docs
the `checkAnchorLinks` processor doesn't find them
as valid targets for links.
Adding them as a `pathVariant` solves this problem
but will still catch links to docs that do not actually exist.
* fix(aio): ensure that headings clear floated images
* fix(aio): do not force live-example embedded image to 100% size
This made them look too big, generally. Leaving them with no size means
that they will look reasonable in large viewports and switch to 100% width
in narrow viewports.
