When @angular/core is compiled by ngtsc, a factory file is generated
for ApplicationModule, that is currently invalid because r3_symbols
does not export NgModuleFactory. This change fixes that issue and
ensures the generated ngfactory file for @angular/core is valid.

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.

Previously, ngtsc used a new ConstantPool for each decorator
compilation. This could result in collisions between constants in the
top-level scope.
Now, ngtsc uses a single ConstantPool for each source file being
compiled, and merges the constant statements into the file after the
import section.

Existing bootstrap code in the wild depends on the existence of
.ngfactory files, which Ivy does not need. This commit adds the
capability in ngtsc to generate .ngfactory files which bridge
existing bootstrap code with Ivy.
This is an initial step. Remaining work includes complying with
the compiler option to specify a generated file directory, as well
as presumably testing in g3.

Ivy definition types have a generic type which specifies the return
type of the factory function. For example:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>
However, in this case NgForOf itself has a type parameter <T>. Thus,
writing the above is incorrect.
This commit modifies ngtsc to understand the genericness of NgForOf and
to write the following:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf<any>, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>

Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

Previously, some of the *Def symbols were not exported or were exported
as public API. This commit ensures every definition type is in the
private export namespace.
PR Close#24862
Previously, when translating an assignment expression (e.g. x = 3), the
translator would always print the statement as X = Y. However, if the
expression is included in a larger expression (X = (Y = Z)), the
translator would print "X = Y = Z" without regard for the outer
expression context.
Now, the translator understands when it's printing an expression
statement (X = Y;) vs an expression in a larger context (X = (Y = Z);)
and encapsulates the latter in parentheses.

On accident a few of the definition types were emitted as public API
symbols. Much of the Ivy API surface is still prefixed with ɵ,
indicating it's a private API. The definition types should be private
for now.

This commit adds support for templateUrl in component templates within
ngtsc. The compilation pipeline is split into sync and async versions,
where asynchronous compilation invokes a special preanalyze() phase of
analysis. The preanalyze() phase can optionally return a Promise which
will delay compilation until it resolves.
A ResourceLoader interface is used to resolve templateUrls to template
strings and can return results either synchronously or asynchronously.
During sync compilation it is an error if the ResourceLoader returns a
Promise.
Two ResourceLoader implementations are provided. One uses 'fs' to read
resources directly from disk and is chosen if the CompilerHost doesn't
provide a readResource method. The other wraps the readResource method
from CompilerHost if it's provided.

Previously ngtsc removed the class-level decorators (@Component,
etc) but left all the ancillary decorators (@Input, @Optional,
etc).
This changes the transform to descend into the members of decorated
classes and remove any Angular decorators, not just the class-level
ones.
PR Close#24677
@angular/core is unique in that it defines the Angular decorators
(@Component, @Directive, etc). Ordinarily ngtsc looks for imports
from @angular/core in order to identify these decorators. Clearly
within core itself, this strategy doesn't work.
Instead, a special constant ITS_JUST_ANGULAR is declared within a
known file in @angular/core. If ngtsc sees this constant it knows
core is being compiled and can ignore the imports when evaluating
decorators.
Additionally, when compiling decorators ngtsc will often write an
import to @angular/core for needed symbols. However @angular/core
cannot import itself. This change creates a module within core to
export all the symbols needed to compile it and adds intelligence
within ngtsc to write relative imports to that module, instead of
absolute imports to @angular/core.

This change generates ngInjectorDef as well as ngModuleDef for @NgModule
annotated types, reflecting the dual nature of @NgModules as both compilation
scopes and as DI configuration containers.
This required implementing ngInjectorDef compilation in @angular/compiler as
well as allowing for multiple generated definitions for a single decorator in
the core of ngtsc.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.

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.
PR Close#24427
This commit adds a mechanism by which the @angular/core annotations
for @Component, @Injectable, and @NgModule become decorators which,
when executed at runtime, trigger just-in-time compilation of their
associated types. The activation of these decorators is configured
by the ivy_switch mechanism, ensuring that the Ivy JIT engine does
not get included in Angular bundles unless specifically requested.
PR Close#23833
Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.

This commit adds a new compiler pipeline that isn't dependent on global
analysis, referred to as 'ngtsc'. This new compiler is accessed by
running ngc with "enableIvy" set to "ngtsc". It reuses the same initialization
logic but creates a new implementation of Program which does not perform the
global-level analysis that AngularCompilerProgram does. It will be the
foundation for the production Ivy compiler.
