As part of incremental compilation performance improvements, we need
to track the dependencies of files due to expressions being evaluated by
the `PartialEvaluator`.
The `PartialEvaluator` now accepts a `DependencyTracker` object, which is
used to track which files are visited when evaluating an expression.
The interpreter computes this `originatingFile` and stores it in the evaluation
`Context` so it can pass this to the `DependencyTracker.
The `IncrementalState` object implements this interface, which allows it to be
passed to the `PartialEvaluator` and so capture the file dependencies.

Previously, ngtsc included query fields in the list of fields which can
affect the type of a directive via its type constructor. This feature
however has yet to be built, and View Engine in default mode does not
do this inference.
This caused an unexpected bug where private query fields (which should be
an error but are allowed by View Engine) cause the type constructor
signature to be invalid. This commit fixes that issue by disabling the
logic to include query fields.

ngtsc generates type constructors which infer the type of a directive based
on its inputs. Previously, a bug existed where this inference would fail in
the case of 'any' input values. For example, the inference of NgForOf fails
when an 'any' is provided, as it causes TypeScript to attempt to solve:
T[] = any
In this case, T gets inferred as {}, the empty object type, which is not
desirable.
The fix is to assign generic types in type constructors a default type of
'any', which TypeScript uses instead of {} when inference fails.

ngtsc previously could attempt to reuse the main ts.Program twice. This
occurred when template type-checking was enabled and then an incremental
build was performed. This breaks a TypeScript invariant - ts.Programs can
only be reused once.
The creation of the template type-checking program reuses the main program,
rendering it moot. Then, on the next incremental build the main program
would be subject to reuse again, which would crash inside TypeScript.
This commit fixes the issue by reusing the template type-checking program
from the previous run on the next incremental build. Since under normal
circumstances the files in the type-checking program aren't changed, this
should be just as fast.
Testing strategy: a test is added in the incremental_spec which validates
that program reuse with type-checking turned on does not crash the compiler.

Now that ngtsc performs type checking using a dedicated `__ng_typecheck__.ts`
file, `NgtscProgram` always wraps its `ts.CompilerHost` in a shim host. This
shim fails to delegate `resolveModuleNames` so no custom module resolution
logic is considered. This introduces a problem for the CLI, as the compiler
host it passes kicks of ngcc for any imported module such that Ivy's
compatibility compiler runs automatically behind the scenes.
This commit adds delegation of the `resolveModuleNames` to fix the issue.

Template type-checking is enabled by default in the View Engine compiler.
The feature in Ivy is not quite ready for this yet, so this flag will
temporarily control whether templates are type-checked in ngtsc.
The goal is to remove this flag after rolling out template type-checking in
google3 in Ivy mode, and making sure the feature is as compatible with the
View Engine implementation as possible.
Initially, the default value of the flag will leave checking disabled.

This commit adds support for template type-checking a pipe binding which
previously was not handled by the type-checking engine. In compatibility
mode, the arguments to transform() are not checked and the type returned
by a pipe is 'any'. In full type-checking mode, the transform() method's
type signature is used to check the pipe usage and infer the return type
of the pipe.

PR Close#29698
The template type-checking engine previously would assemble a type-checking
program by inserting Type Check Blocks (TCBs) into existing user files. This
approach proved expensive, as TypeScript has to re-parse and re-type-check
those files when processing the type-checking program.
Instead, a far more performant approach is to augment the program with a
single type-checking file, into which all TCBs are generated. Additionally,
type constructors are also inlined into this file.
This is not always possible - both TCBs and type constructors can sometimes
require inlining into user code, particularly if bound generic type
parameters are present, so the approach taken is actually a hybrid. These
operations are inlined if necessary, but are otherwise generated in a single
file.
It is critically important that the original program also include an empty
version of the type-checking file, otherwise the shape of the two programs
will be different and TypeScript will throw away all the old program
information. This leads to a painfully slow type checking pass, on the same
order as the original program creation. A shim to generate this file in the
original program is therefore added.
Testing strategy: this commit is largely a refactor with no externally
observable behavioral differences, and thus no tests are needed.
PR Close#29698
This commit adds support in the template type-checking engine for handling
the logical not operation and the safe navigation operation.
Safe navigation in particular is tricky, as the View Engine implementation
has a rather inconvenient flaw. View Engine checks a safe navigation
operation `a?.b` as:
```typescript
(a != null ? a!.b : null as any)
```
The type of this expression is always 'any', as the false branch of the
ternary has type 'any'. Thus, using null-safe navigation throws away the
type of the result, and breaks type-checking for the rest of the expression.
A flag is introduced in the type-checking configuration to allow Ivy to
mimic this behavior when needed.

View Engine's implementation of naive template type-checking is less
advanced than the current Ivy implementation. As a result, Ivy catches lots
of typing bugs which VE does not. As a result, it's necessary to tone down
the Ivy template type-checker in the default case.
This commit introduces a mechanism for doing that, by passing a config to
the template type-checking engine. Through this configuration, particular
checks can be loosened or disabled entirely.

Previously the template type-checking code only considered the metadata of
directive classes actually referenced in the template. If those directives
had base classes, any inputs/outputs/etc of the base classes were not
tracked when generating the TCB. This resulted in bindings to those inputs
being incorrectly attributed to the host component or element.
This commit uses the new metadata package to follow directive inheritance
chains and use the full metadata for a directive for TCB generation.

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.
PR Close#29698
Previously, bindings to [class] and [style] were treated like any other
property binding. That is, they would result in type-checking code that
attempted to write directly to .class or .style on the element node.
This is incorrect, however - the mapping from Angular's [class] and [style]
onto the DOM properties is non-trivial.
For now, this commit avoids the issue by only checking the expressions
themselves and not the assignment to the element properties.

Previously the template type-checking engine processed templates in a linear
manner, and could not handle '#' references within a template. One reason
for this is that '#' references are non-linear - a reference can be used
before its declaration. Consider the template:
```html
{{ref.value}}
<input #ref>
```
Accommodating this required refactoring the type-checking code generator to
be able to produce Type Check Block (TCB) code non-linearly. Now, each
template is processed and a list of TCB operations (`TcbOp`s) are created.
Non-linearity is modeled via dependencies between operations, with the
appropriate protection in place for circular dependencies.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

Prior to this change, a module's imports and exports would be used verbatim
as an injectors' imports. This is detrimental for tree-shaking, as a
module's exports could reference declarations that would then prevent such

Since an injector actually only needs NgModule references as its imports,
we may safely filter out any declarations from the list of module exports.
This makes them eligible for tree-shaking once again.

Prior to this change, all module metadata would be included in the
`defineNgModule` call that is set as the `ngModuleDef` field of module
types. Part of the metadata is scope information like declarations,
imports and exports that is used for computing the transitive module
scope in JIT environments, preventing those references from being
tree-shaken for production builds.
This change moves the metadata for scope computations to a pure function
call that patches the scope references onto the module type. Because the
function is marked pure, it may be tree-shaken out during production builds
such that references to declarations and exports are dropped, which in turn
allows for tree-shaken any declaration that is not otherwise referenced.

In ES2015, classes could have been emitted as a variable declaration
initialized with a class expression. In certain situations, an intermediary
variable suffixed with `_1` is present such that the variable
declaration's initializer becomes a binary expression with its rhs being
the class expression, and its lhs being the identifier of the intermediate
variable. This structure was not recognized, resulting in such classes not
being considered as a class in `Esm2015ReflectionHost`.
As a consequence, the analysis of functions/methods that return a
`ModuleWithProviders` object did not take the methods of such classes into
account.
Another edge-case with such intermediate variable was that static
properties would not be considered as class members. A testcase was added
to prevent regressions.

Currently, ngtsc decides to use remote scoping if the compilation of a
component may create a cyclic import. This happens if there are two
components in a scope (say, A and B) and A directly uses B. During
compilation of B ngtsc will then note that if B were to use A, a cycle would
be generated, and so it will opt to use remote scoping for B.
ngtsc already uses the R3TargetBinder to correctly track the imports that
are actually required, for future cycle tracking. This commit expands that
usage to not trigger remote scoping unless B actually does consume A in its
template.

Previously, several `ngtsc` and `ngcc` APIs dealing with class
declaration nodes used inconsistent types. For example, some methods of
the `DecoratorHandler` interface expected a `ts.Declaration` argument,
but actual `DecoratorHandler` implementations specified a stricter
`ts.ClassDeclaration` type.
As a result, the stricter methods would operate under the incorrect
assumption that their arguments were of type `ts.ClassDeclaration`,
while the actual arguments might be of different types (e.g. `ngcc`
would call them with `ts.FunctionDeclaration` or
`ts.VariableDeclaration` arguments, when compiling ES5 code).
Additionally, since we need those class declarations to be referenced in
other parts of the program, `ngtsc`/`ngcc` had to either repeatedly
check for `ts.isIdentifier(node.name)` or assume there was a `name`
identifier and use `node.name!`. While this assumption happens to be
true in the current implementation, working around type-checking is
error-prone (e.g. the assumption might stop being true in the future).
This commit fixes this by introducing a new type to be used for such
class declarations (`ts.Declaration & {name: ts.Identifier}`) and using
it consistently throughput the code.
