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};
}
```

PR#28396 originally addressed an update via issue #23983 to make images more visible with a white background (implementation of gray "lightbox").
This PR implements those styles defined in PR#28396.

In the example, there's no directive nor input that's named `appHighlightColor`.
It should be `appHighlight`, referring to the input binding.

Previously, when navigating to a new page via a link, the scroll
position was correctly restored to 0, but navigating to a new page via
typing the URL in the browser address bar keeps the old scroll position.
This commit ensures that the scroll position is restored to 0 whenever
the `ScrollService` is instantiated anew (i.e. new page navigation). The
old behavior of retaining the scroll position on reload is kept by
storing the old URL when leaving a page and only applying the stored
scroll position if the new URL matches the stored one.

This commit adds a guide to AIO navigation for
"Migrating to Version 9" and moves the schematics
section into the guide that previously lived in
the deprecations page. It also pastes a snippet
of the deprecations page in the new guide so users
don't have to filter out deprecations they've seen
before.
Note: Ivy compatibility section is coming up in a
follow-up PR.

Prior to this fix, all style/class bindings (e.g. `[style]` and
`[class.foo]`) would quietly update a binding value if and when the
current binding value changes during checkNoChanges.
With this patch, all styling instructions will properly check to see
if the value has changed during the second pass of detectChanges()
if checkNoChanges is active.

The `setup-local` scripts (and others that are based on it, such as
`setup-local-viewengine`), mainly does two things: Replace the Angular
packages with the locally built ones for `aio/` and the docs examples
(`aio/tools/examples/shared/`). It does this by calling two other npm
scripts: `aio-use-local` and `example-use-local` respectively.
For these scripts to work, the local Angular packages must be already
built (via `scripts/build-packages-dist.sh`). In order to make it easier
for people to test against local packages, the scripts support a
`--build-packages` option, that (if passed) will result in building the
local packages as well.
Given that the same local packages are used for both `aio/` and the
examples, we only need to build the packages once. Also, to speed up
execution on CI, we do not need to build the packages there, because the
packages would have been built already in a previous CI job.
However, the various setup npm scripts were not implemented correctly to
meet these requirements. Specifically, when running locally,
`aio-use-local` would build the packages, while `example-use-local`
would not (it was supposed to use the already built packages from
`aio-use-local`). The `example-use-local` script, though, was configured
to run before `aio-use-local`. As a result, the packages were not built,
by the time `example-use-local` needed them, which would cause an error.
This commit fixes it by ensuring that `aio-use-local` (which builds the
local Angular packages) runs before `example-use-local`, so that the
latter can use the same packages already built by the former.

Previously, when compiling the docs examples with `ngcc` (to run them in
Ivy mode), we would only consider the `es2015` property. However, some
packages (such as `angular-in-memory-web-api`) may not have that
property in their `package.json`. They might still be compilable by
`ngcc`, if they define other format properties (such as `module` or
`main`), but `ngcc` would still fail if it could not find any of the
_specified_ properties (here only `es2015`):
```
Error: Unable to process any formats for the following entry-points (tried es2015):
- /.../node_modules/angular-in-memory-web-api

This commit fixes potential issues by considering all properties that
would be considered if `ngcc` was run implicitly by `@angular/cli` and
aligns the command with the one that will be generated for new apps:

Injectable defs are not considered public API, so the property
that contains them should be prefixed with Angular's marker
for "private" ('ɵ') to discourage apps from relying on def
APIs directly.
This commit adds the prefix and shortens the name from
ngInjectableDef to "prov" (for "provider", since injector defs
are known as "inj"). This is because property names cannot
be minified by Uglify without turning on property mangling
(which most apps have turned off) and are thus size-sensitive.

Prior to this change, a static attribute that corresponds with a
directive's input would not be type-checked against the type of the
input. This is unfortunate, as a static value always has type `string`,
whereas the directive's input type might be something different. This
typically occurs when a developer forgets to enclose the attribute name
in brackets to make it a property binding.
This commit lets static attributes be considered as bindings with string
values, so that they will be properly type-checked.
