George Kalpakas 0af6e9fcbb refactor(ngcc): move logic for identifying known declarations to method (#36284)
The `NgccReflectionHost`s have logic for detecting certain known
declarations (such as `Object.assign()` and TypeScript helpers), which
allows the `PartialEvaluator` to evaluate expressions it would not be
able to statically evaluate otherwise.

This commit moves the logic for identifying these known declarations to
dedicated methods. This is in preparation of allowing ngcc's
`DelegatingReflectionHost` (introduced in #36089) to also apply the
known declaration detection logic when reflecting on TypeScript sources.

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)

This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.

This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
