@angular/language-service now supports using TypeScript 2.1 as the
the TypeScript host. TypeScript 2.1 is now also partially supported
in `ngc` but is not recommended as Tsickle does not yet support 2.1.
This change retracts support for metadata version 2.
The collector used to produce version 2 metadata was incomplete
and can cause the AOT compiler to fail to resolve symbols or
produce other spurious errors.
All libraries compiled and published with 2.3.0 ngc will need
to be recompiled and updated with this change.
ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
The metadata collector was modified to look up references in the
import list instead of resolving the symbol using the TypeChecker
making the use of the TypeChecker vestigial. This change removes
all uses of the TypeChecker.
Modified the schema to be able to record global and local (non-module
specific references).
Added error messages to the schema and errors are recorded in
the metadata file allowing the static reflector to throw errors
if an unsupported construct is referenced by metadata.

This ensures we run in a clean directory, using our real distribution. It finds bugs like @internal
APIs needed to type-check in the offline compiler, as well as problems in package.json.
