Andrew Scott 7ad32649c0 fix(router): support lazy loading for empty path named outlets (#38379)
In general, the router only matches and loads a single Route config tree. However,
named outlets with empty paths are a special case where the router can
and should actually match two different `Route`s and ensure that the
modules are loaded for each match.

This change updates the "ApplyRedirects" stage to ensure that named
outlets with empty paths finish loading their configs before proceeding
to the next stage in the routing pipe. This is necessary because if the
named outlet has `loadChildren` but the associated lazy config is not loaded
before following stages attempt to match and activate relevant `Route`s,
an error will occur.

Angular Router

Managing state transitions is one of the hardest parts of building applications. This is especially true on the web, where you also need to ensure that the state is reflected in the URL. In addition, we often want to split applications into multiple bundles and load them on demand. Doing this transparently isnt trivial.

The Angular router is designed to solve these problems. Using the router, you can declaratively specify application state, manage state transitions while taking care of the URL, and load components on demand.
