Originally, the ivy_switch mechanism used Bazel genrules to conditionally
compile one TS file or another depending on whether ngc or ngtsc was the
selected compiler. This was done because we wanted to avoid importing
certain modules (and thus pulling them into the build) if Ivy was on or
off. This mechanism had a major drawback: ivy_switch became a bottleneck
in the import graph, as it both imports from many places in the codebase
and is imported by many modules in the codebase. This frequently resulted
in cyclic imports which caused issues both with TS and Closure compilation.
It turns out ngcc needs both code paths in the bundle to perform the switch
during its operation anyway, so import switching was later abandoned. This
means that there's no real reason why the ivy_switch mechanism needed to
operate at the Bazel level, and for the ivy_switch file to be a bottleneck.
This commit removes the Bazel-level ivy_switch mechanism, and introduces
an additional TypeScript transform in ngtsc (and the pass-through tsc
compiler used for testing JIT) to perform the same operation that ngcc
does, and flip the switch during ngtsc compilation. This allows the
ivy_switch file to be removed, and the individual switches to be located
directly next to their consumers in the codebase, greatly mitigating the
circular import issues and making the mechanism much easier to use.
As part of this commit, the tag for marking switched variables was changed
from __PRE_NGCC__ to __PRE_R3__, since it's no longer just ngcc which
flips these tags. Most variables were renamed from R3_* to SWITCH_* as well,
since they're referenced mostly in render2 code.
Test strategy: existing test coverage is more than sufficient - if this
didn't work correctly it would break the hello world and todo apps.

Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

Provides a runtime and compile time switch for ivy including
`ApplicationRef.bootstrapModule`.
This is done by naming the symbols such that `ngcc` (angular
Compatibility compiler) can rename symbols in such a way that running
`ngcc` command will switch the `@angular/core` module from `legacy` to
`ivy` mode.
This is done as follows:
```
const someToken__PRE_NGCC__ = ‘legacy mode’;
const someToken__POST_NGCC__ = ‘ivy mode’;
export someSymbol = someToken__PRE_NGCC__;
```
The `ngcc` will search for any token which ends with `__PRE_NGCC__`
and replace it with `__POST_NGCC__`. This allows the `@angular/core`
package to be rewritten to ivy mode post `ngcc` execution.

Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.

Used to resolve resource URLs on `@Component` when used with JIT compilation.
```
@Component({
selector: 'my-comp',
templateUrl: 'my-comp.html', // This requires asynchronous resolution
})
class MyComponnent{
}
// Calling `renderComponent` will fail because `MyComponent`'s `@Compenent.templateUrl`
// needs to be resolved because `renderComponent` is synchronous process.
// renderComponent(MyComponent);
// Calling `resolveComponentResources` will resolve `@Compenent.templateUrl` into
// `@Compenent.template`, which would allow `renderComponent` to proceed in synchronous manner.
// Use browser's `fetch` function as the default resource resolution strategy.
resolveComponentResources(fetch).then(() => {
// After resolution all URLs have been converted into strings.
renderComponent(MyComponent);
});

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.

Previously, the transitive scopes of an NgModuleDef were computed
during execution of the @NgModule decorator. This meant that JIT-
compiled modules could only import other JIT-compiled modules, as
the import mechanism relied on the calculation of transitive scopes
to already have happened for the imported module.
This change moves computation of transitive scopes to a function
`transitiveScopesFor` (and makes it lazy). This opens the door for
AOT -> JIT or JIT -> AOT imports, as transitive scopes for AOT
modules can be calculated when needed by JIT, and AOT modules can
also write expressions that call `transitiveScopesFor` when
importing a JIT-compiled module.

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.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an `OpaqueToken`.
By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.

This change allows users to specify multiple exportAs names for a
directive by giving a comma-delimited list inside the string.
The primary motivation for this change is to allow these names to be
changed in a backwards compatible way.
BREAKING CHANGE
It is no longer possible to declare classes in this format.
```
Component({...}).
Class({
constructor: function() {...}
})
```
This format would only work with JIT and with ES5. This mode doesn’t
allow build tools like Webpack to process and optimize the code, which
results in prohibitively large bundles. We are removing this API
because we are trying to ensure that everyone is on the fast path by
default, and it is not possible to get on the fast path using the ES5
DSL. The replacement is to use TypeScript and `@Decorator` format.
```
@Component({...})
class {
constructor() {...}
}
```
In previous version of tsickle abstract class methods were materialized.
The change resulted in 6Kb savings in angular.io bundle.
This change also required the removal of `@private` and `@return` type
annotation as it is explicitly dissalowed by tsickle.
NOTE: removed casts in front of `makeDecorator` due to:
