feat(compiler): narrow types of expressions used in *ngIf (#20702)
Structural directives can now specify a type guard that describes what types can be inferred for an input expression inside the directive's template. NgIf was modified to declare an input guard on ngIf. After this change, `fullTemplateTypeCheck` will infer that usage of `ngIf` expression inside it's template is truthy. For example, if a component has a property `person?: Person` and a template of `<div *ngIf="person"> {{person.name}} </div>` the compiler will no longer report that `person` might be null or undefined. The template compiler will generate code similar to, ``` if (NgIf.ngIfTypeGuard(instance.person)) { instance.person.name } ``` to validate the template's use of the interpolation expression. Calling the type guard in this fashion allows TypeScript to infer that `person` is non-null. Fixes: #19756? PR Close #20702
