ivy's bindingUpdated instruction is using the assertNotEqual check to make
sure that NO_CHANGE value (of type Object) is not passed as a value to be
dirty-checked. In practice it means that any value passed as a binding
value would be compared to the NO_CHANGE object.
It turns out that the assertNotEqual is using == and given
that binding values are of different type and we always compare it to the
NO_CHANGE object we were doing lots of type coercion. It resulted in calls
to expensive types conversions and calls to Object.toString().
A profiler reported ~15% of the self time spent in the assertNotEqual
but it turns out that removing type coercion speeds up Material Chips with
input scenario much more (~40ms down to ~20ms).
This PR introduces new assert method `assertNotSame` that uses strict equality
check. The new assertion is used in binding instructions to compare to
NO_CHANGE object reference.

This fix corrects a bug where we were passing a binding _value_
in place of an expected binding index. This reulted in the binding
value being compared to an array length and buggy type coercion.
Fixing this bug speeds up test scenario by ~10-15%.

Google3 detected circular references here, so splitting up this rather hodge-podge list of functions into slightly better organizational units.

This commit unifies handling of the "check no changes" mode between
ngIvy and the view engine. More specifically:
- check no changes can be invoked before change detection in ivy;
- `undefined` values are considered equal `NO_CHANGES` for the "check no changes"
mode purposes.
Chanes in this commit enables several tests that were previously running only in ivy
or only in the view engine.

Prior to this commit, we had two different modes for change detection
execution for Ivy, depending on whether you called `bootstrap()` or
`renderComponent()`. In the former case, we would complete creation
mode for all components in the tree before beginning update mode for
any component. In the latter case, we would run creation mode and
update mode together for each component individually.
Maintaining code to support these two different execution orders was
unnecessarily complex, so this commit aligns the two bootstrapping
mechanisms to execute in the same order. Now creation mode always
runs for all components before update mode begins.
This change also simplifies our rendering logic so that we use
`LView` flags as the source of truth for rendering mode instead of
`rf` function arguments. This fixed some related bugs (e.g. calling
`ViewRef.detectChanges` synchronously after the view's creation
would create view nodes twice, view queries would execute twice, etc).
