Previously, any declarations that were defined "inline" were not
recognised by the `UmdReflectionHost`.
For example, the following syntax was completely unrecognized:
```ts
var Foo_1;
exports.Foo = Foo_1 = (function() {
function Foo() {}
return Foo;
})();
exports.Foo = Foo_1 = __decorate(SomeDecorator, Foo);
```
Such inline classes were ignored and not processed by ngcc.
This lack of processing led to failures in Ivy applications that relied
on UMD formats of libraries such as `syncfusion/ej2-angular-ui-components`.
Now all known inline UMD exports are recognized and processed accordingly.

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.
