Alex Rickabaugh 9277afce61 refactor(ivy): move metadata registration to its own package (#29698)
Previously, metadata registration (the recording of collected metadata
during analysis of directives, pipes, and NgModules) was only used to
produce the `LocalModuleScope`, and thus was handled by the
`LocalModuleScopeRegistry`.

However, the template type-checker also needs information about registered
directives, outside of the NgModule scope determinations. Rather than
reuse the scope registry for an unintended purpose, this commit introduces
new abstractions for metadata registration and lookups in a separate
'metadata' package, which the scope registry implements.

This paves the way for a future commit to make use of this metadata for the
template type-checking system.

Testing strategy: this commit is a refactoring which introduces no new
functionality, so existing tests are sufficient.

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
