To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.

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.

This commit splits apart selector_scope.ts in ngtsc and extracts the logic
into two separate classes, the LocalModuleScopeRegistry and the
DtsModuleScopeResolver. The logic is cleaned up significantly and new tests
are added to verify behavior.
LocalModuleScopeRegistry implements the NgModule semantics for compilation
scopes, and handles NgModules declared in the current compilation unit.
DtsModuleScopeResolver implements simpler logic for export scopes and
handles NgModules declared in .d.ts files.
This is done in preparation for the addition of re-export logic to solve
StrictDeps issues.

During analysis, the `ComponentDecoratorHandler` passes the component
template to the `parseTemplate()` function. Previously, there was little or
no information about the original source file, where the template is found,
passed when calling this function.
Now, we correctly compute the URL of the source of the template, both
for external `templateUrl` and in-line `template` cases. Further in the
in-line template case we compute the character range of the template
in its containing source file; *but only in the case that the template is
a simple string literal*. If the template is actually a dynamic value like
an interpolated string or a function call, then we do not try to add the
originating source file information.
The translator that converts Ivy AST nodes to TypeScript now adds these
template specific source mappings, which account for the file where
the template was found, to the templates to support stepping through the
template creation and update code when debugging an Angular application.
Note that some versions of TypeScript have a bug which means they cannot
support external template source-maps. We check for this via the
`canSourceMapExternalTemplates()` helper function and avoid trying to
add template mappings to external templates if not supported.

By its nature, Ivy alters the import graph of a TS program, adding imports
where template dependencies exist. For example, if ComponentA uses PipeB
in its template, Ivy will insert an import of PipeB into the file in which
ComponentA is declared.
Any insertion of an import into a program has the potential to introduce a
cycle into the import graph. If for some reason the file in which PipeB is
declared imports the file in which ComponentA is declared (maybe it makes
use of a service or utility function that happens to be in the same file as
ComponentA) then this could create an import cycle. This turns out to
happen quite regularly in larger Angular codebases.
TypeScript and the Ivy runtime have no issues with such cycles. However,
other tools are not so accepting. In particular the Closure Compiler is
very anti-cycle.
To mitigate this problem, it's necessary to detect when the insertion of
an import would create a cycle. ngtsc can then use a different strategy,
known as "remote scoping", instead of directly writing a reference from
one component to another. Under remote scoping, a function
'setComponentScope' is called after the declaration of the component's
module, which does not require the addition of new imports.

This commit uses the NgModuleRouteAnalyzer introduced previously to
implement listLazyRoutes() for NgtscProgram. Currently this implementation
is limited to listing routes globally and cannot list routes for a given lazy
module. Testing seems to indicate that the CLI uses the global form, but this
should be verified.

This refactoring moves code around between a few of the ngtsc subpackages,
with the goal of having a more logical package structure. Additional
interfaces are also introduced where they make sense.
The 'metadata' package formerly contained both the partial evaluator,
the TypeScriptReflectionHost as well as some other reflection functions,
and the Reference interface and various implementations. This package
was split into 3 parts.
The partial evaluator now has its own package 'partial_evaluator', and
exists behind an interface PartialEvaluator instead of a top-level
function. In the future this will be useful for reducing churn as the
partial evaluator becomes more complicated.
The TypeScriptReflectionHost and other miscellaneous functions have moved
into a new 'reflection' package. The former 'host' package which contained
the ReflectionHost interface and associated types was also merged into this
new 'reflection' package.
Finally, the Reference APIs were moved to the 'imports' package, which will
consolidate all import-related logic in ngtsc.

Before type checking can be turned on in ngtsc, appropriate metadata for
each component and directive must be determined. This commit adds tracking
of the extra metadata in *DefWithMeta types to the selector scope handling,
allowing for later extraction for type-checking purposes.

This commit takes the first steps towards ngtsc producing real
TypeScript diagnostics instead of simply throwing errors when
encountering incorrect code.
A new class is introduced, FatalDiagnosticError, which can be thrown by
handlers whenever a condition in the code is encountered which by
necessity prevents the class from being compiled. This error type is
convertable to a ts.Diagnostic which represents the type and source of
the error.
Error codes are introduced for Angular errors, and are prefixed with -99
(so error code 1001 becomes -991001) to distinguish them from other TS
errors.
A function is provided which will read TS diagnostic output and convert
the TS errors to NG errors if they match this negative error code
format.

ngtsc needs to reflect over code to property compile it. It performs operations
such as enumerating decorators on a type, reading metadata from constructor
parameters, etc.
Depending on the format (ES5, ES6, etc) of the underlying code, the AST
structures over which this reflection takes place can be very different. For
example, in TS/ES6 code `class` declarations are `ts.ClassDeclaration` nodes,
but in ES5 code they've been downleveled to `ts.VariableDeclaration` nodes that
are initialized to IIFEs that build up the classes being defined.
The ReflectionHost abstraction allows ngtsc to perform these operations without
directly querying the AST. Different implementations of ReflectionHost allow
support for different code formats.

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.
