In #41995 the type of `TrackByFunction` was changed such that the
declaration of a `trackBy` function did not cause the item type to be
widened to the `trackBy`'s item type, which may be a supertype of the
iterated type. This has introduced situations where the template type
checker is now reporting errors for cases where a `trackBy` function is
no longer assignable to `TrackByFunction`.
This commit fixes the error by also including the item type `T` in
addition to the constrained type parameter `U`, allowing TypeScript to
infer an appropriate `T`.

Updates the Bazel NodeJS rules to v4.0.0-beta.0. This is necessary
so that the Angular components repo can update, and it's generally
good to stay as up-to-date as possible with the Bazel rules as it's
easy to fall behind, and updating early allows us to discover issues
affecting our tooling earlier (where they are easier to address due to
e.g. potential breaking change policy).

When a `trackBy` function is used that accepts a supertype of the iterated
array's type, the loop variable would undesirably be inferred as the supertype
instead of the array's item type. This commit adds an inferred type parameter
to `TrackByFunction` to allow an extra degree of freedom, enabling the
loop value to be inferred as the most narrow type.

These types are only used in the generated typings files to provide
information to the Angular compiler in order that it can compile code
in downstream libraries and applications.
This commit aliases these types to `unknown` to avoid exposing the
previous alias types such as `ɵɵDirectiveDef`, which are internal to
the compiler.

The `AsyncPipe.transform<T>(emitter)` method must infer the `T`
type from the `emitter` parameter. Since we changed the `AsyncPipe`
to expect a `Subscribable<T>` rather than `Observable<T>` the
`EventEmitter.subscribe()` method needs to have a tighter signature.
Otherwise TypeScript struggles to infer the type and ends up making
it `unknown`.

ngtsc has a robust suite of testing utilities, designed for in-memory
testing of a TypeScript compiler. Previously these utilities lived in the
`test` directory for the compiler-cli package.
This commit moves those utilities to an `ngtsc/testing` package, enabling
them to be depended on separately and opening the door for using them from
the upcoming language server testing infrastructure.
As part of this refactoring, the `fake_core` package (a lightweight API
replacement for @angular/core) is expanded to include functionality needed
for Language Service test use cases.
