Alex Rickabaugh 21e24d1474 refactor(compiler-cli): introduce CompilationTicket system for NgCompiler (#40561)
Previously, the incremental flow for NgCompiler was simple: when creating a
new NgCompiler instance, the consumer could pass state from a previous
compilation, which would cause the new compilation to be performed
incrementally. "Local" information about TypeScript files which had not
changed would be passed from the old compilation to the new and reused,
while "global" information would always be recalculated.

However, this flow could be made more efficient in certain cases, such as
when no TypeScript files are changed in a new compilation. In this case,
_all_ information extracted during the first compilation is reusable. Doing
this involves reusing the previous `NgCompiler` instance (the container for
such global information) and updating it, instead of creating a new one for
the next compilation. This approach works cleanly, but complicates the
lifecycle of `NgCompiler`.

To prevent consumers from having to deal with the mechanics of reuse vs
incremental steps of `NgCompiler`, a new `CompilationTicket` mechanism is
added in this commit. Consumers obtain a `CompilationTicket` via one of
several code paths depending on the nature of the incoming compilation, and
use the `CompilationTicket` to obtain an `NgCompiler` instance. This
instance may be a fresh compilation, a new `NgCompiler` for an incremental
compilation, or an existing `NgCompiler` that's been updated to optimally
process a resource-only change. Consumers can use the new `NgCompiler`
without knowledge of its provenance.
