feat(compiler): integrate compiler with view engine - change detection tests work (#14412)

Included refactoring:
- make ViewData.parentIndex point to component provider index
- split NodeType.Provider into Provider / Directive / Pipe
- make purePipe take the real pipe as argument to detect changes
- order change detection:
  1) directive props
  2) renderer props

Part of #14013

PR Close #14412
