The `Logger` interface and its related classes are general purpose
and could be used by other tooling. Moving it into ngtsc is a more
suitable place from which to share it - similar to the FileSystem stuff.

This finder is designed to only process entry-points that are reachable
by the program defined by a tsconfig.json file.
It is triggered by calling `mainNgcc()` with the `findEntryPointsFromTsConfigProgram`
option set to true. It is ignored if a `targetEntryPointPath` has been
provided as well.
It is triggered from the command line by adding the `--use-program-dependencies`
option, which is also ignored if the `--target` option has been provided.
Using this option can speed up processing in cases where there is a large
number of dependencies installed but only a small proportion of the
entry-points are actually imported into the application.

As of version 10, libraries following the APF will no longer contain
ESM5 output. Hence, tests in ngcc need to be updated as they currently
rely on the release output of `@angular/core`.
Additionally, we'd need to support in ngcc that the `module`
property of entry-points no longer necessarily refers to
`esm5` output, but instead can also target `esm2015`.
We currently achieve this by checking the path the `module`
property points to. We can do this because as per APF, the
folder name is known for the esm2015 output. Long-term for
more coverage, we want to sniff the format by looking for
known ES2015 constructs in the file `module` refers to.

The cached file-system was implemented to speed up ngcc
processing, but in reality most files are not accessed many times
and there is no noticeable degradation in speed by removing it.
Benchmarking `ngcc -l debug` for AIO on a local machine
gave a range of 196-236 seconds with the cache and 197-224
seconds without the cache.
Moreover, when running in parallel mode, ngcc has a separate
file cache for each process. This results in excess memory usage.
Notably the master process, which only does analysis of entry-points
holds on to up to 500Mb for AIO when using the cache compared to
only around 30Mb when not using the cache.
Finally, the file-system cache being incorrectly primed with file
contents before being processed has been the cause of a number
of bugs. For example https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16860#issuecomment-614694269.
