Previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail and it should not be the thing which determines
how often change event should fire.
This change introduces a new `emitDistinctChangesOnly` option for
`ContentChildren` and `ViewChildren`.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option will become the default in the future
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```

`ViewContainerRef` is declared in ViewEngine but it sub-classed in Ivy. This creates a circular
dependency between ViewEngine `ViewContainerRef` which needs to declare `__NG_ELEMENT_ID__` and
ivy factory which needs to create it. The workaround used to be to pass the `ViewContainerRef`
through stack but that created a very convoluted code. This refactoring simply bundles the
two files together and removes the stack workaround making the code simpler to follow.

The `ExpandoInstructions` was unnecessarily convoluted way to solve the
problem of calling the `HostBindingFunction`s on components and
directives. The code was complicated and hard to fallow.
The replacement is a simplified way to achieve the same thing, which
is also more efficient in space and speed.

When looking at `TView` debug template only Element nodes were displayed
as `TNode.Element` was used for both `RElement` and `RText`.
Additionally no text was stored in `TNode.value`. The result was that
the whole template could not be reconstructed. This refactoring creates
`TNodeType.Text` and store the text value in `TNode.value`.
The refactoring also changes `TNodeType` into flag-like structure make
it more efficient to check many different types at once.

Currently Angular internally already handles `InjectionToken` as
predicates for queries. This commit exposes this as public API as
developers already relied on this functionality but currently use
workarounds to satisfy the type constraints (e.g. `as any`).
We intend to make this public as it's low-effort to support, and
it's a significant key part for the use of light-weight tokens as
described in the upcoming guide: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36144.
In concrete, applications might use injection tokens over classes
for both optional DI and queries, because otherwise such references
cause classes to be always retained. This was also an issue in View
Engine, but now with Ivy, this pattern became worse, as factories are
directly attached to retained classes (ultimately ending up in the
production bundle, while being unused).
More details in the light-weight token guide and in: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16866.
Closes#21152. Related to #36144.

Before this change ngIvy implementation of queries would throw upon
encountering null / undefined query result collected from an embedded
view. It turns out that we might have a provider that explicitly provides
a null / undefined value in a place of a token queried for.
This commit removes a check from the ngIvy query implementation that was
asserting on a query result to be defined.

Before this change content queries with the `descendants: false` option, as implemented in ivy,
would not descendinto `<ng-container>` elements. This behaviour was different from the way the
View Engine worked. This change alligns ngIvy and VE behaviours when it comes to queries and the
`<ng-container>` elements and fixes a common bugs where a query target was placed inside the
`<ng-container>` element with a * directive on it.
Before:
```html
<needs-target>
<ng-container *ngIf="condition">
<div #target>...</div> <!-- this node would NOT match -->
</ng-container>
</needs-target>

- Adds `TView` into `LFrame`, read the `TView` from `LView` on `enterView`.
- Before this change the `TView` was ofter looked up from `LView` as `lView[TVIEW]`. This is suboptimal since reading from an Array, requires that the read checks array size before the read. This means that such a read has a much higher cost than reading from the property directly. By passing in the `TView` explicitly it makes the code more explicit and faster.
- Some rearrangements of arguments so that `TView` would come before `LView` for consistency.

This commit fixes a compatibility bug where pre-order lifecycle
hooks (onInit, doCheck, OnChanges) for directives on the same
host node were executed based on the order the directives were
matched, rather than the order the directives were instantiated
(i.e. injection order).
This discrepancy can cause issues with forms, where it is common
to inject NgControl and try to extract its control property in
ngOnInit. As the NgControl directive is injected, it should be
instantiated before the control value accessor directive (and
thus its hooks should run first). This ensures that the NgControl
ngOnInit can set up the form control before the ngOnInit
for the control value accessor tries to access it.

TypeScript downlevels `for-of` loops for ES5 targets. As a result, generated output contains extra code, including a try-catch block, which has code size and performance implications. This is especially important for runtime code where we want to keep it as small as possible. This commit changes `for-of` loops in runtime code to regular `for` loops.

Currently we always generate the `read` parameter for the view and content query instructions, however since most of the time the `read` parameter won't be set, we'll end up generating `null` which adds 5 bytes for each query when minified. These changes make it so that the `read` parameter only gets generated if it has a value.

Before this change we would systematically call LQueries.clone() when executting
elementStart / elementContainerStart instructions. This was often unnecessary as
LQueries can be mutated under 2 conditions only:
- we are crossing an element that has directives with content queries
(new queries must be added);
- we are descending into element hierarchy (creating a child element of an existing element)
and the current LQueries object is tracking shallow queries (shallow queries are removed).
With this PR LQueires.clone() is only done when needed and this gratelly reduces number
of LQueries object created: in the "expanding rows" benchmark number of allocated
(and often GCed just after!) LQueries is reduced from ~100k -> ~35k. This represents
over 1MB of memory that is not allocated.

There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

Previous to this change, we assumed embedded views could only be created after
their parent template node had completed processing. As a result, we only set
up query logic for containers after directives on the node were created.
However, this assumption didn't take into account the case where a directive
on a template node could create views in its constructor.
This commit fixes query logic to work with views created in constructors.
In that case, we need to create a query container before the new view is
rendered so query results in the view aren't lost. But since the query container
is created before directives have completed processing, we also have to ensure
that query results gathered later on the template node are inserted before that
query container. Otherwise, query results in embedded views will clobber query
results on template nodes.
This splice mode may be slightly slower than the normal matching for queries on
containers, but we should only fall back to this strategy in the edge case where
views are created in constructors. (We should encourage developers to create
views in ngOnInit instead).

This commit adds support for the `static: true` flag in `ContentChild`
queries. Prior to this commit, all `ContentChild` queries were resolved
after change detection ran. This is a problem for backwards
compatibility because View Engine also supported "static" queries which
would resolve before change detection.
Now if users add a `static: true` option, the query will be resolved in
creation mode (before change detection runs). For example:
```ts
@ContentChild(TemplateRef, {static: true}) template !: TemplateRef;
```
This feature will come in handy for components that need
to create components dynamically.
