In the @Component decorator, the 'host' field is an object which represents
host bindings. The type of this field is complex, but is generally of the
form {[key: string]: string}. Several different kinds of bindings can be
specified, depending on the structure of the key.
For example:
```
@Component({
host: {'[prop]': 'someExpr'}
})
```
will bind an expression 'someExpr' to the property 'prop'. This is known to
be a property binding because of the square brackets in the binding key.
If the binding key is a plain string (no brackets or parentheses), then it
is known as an attribute binding. In this case, the right-hand side is not
interpreted as an expression, but is instead a constant string.
There is no actual requirement that at build time, these constant strings
are known to the compiler, but this was previously enforced as a side effect
of requiring the binding expressions for property and event bindings to be
statically known (as they need to be parsed). This commit breaks that
relationship and allows the attribute bindings to be dynamic. In the case
that they are dynamic, the references to the dynamic values are reflected
into the Ivy instructions for attribute bindings.

This commit adds support for the `static: true` flag in
`ViewChild` queries. Prior to this commit, all `ViewChild`
queries were resolved after change detection ran. This is
a problem for backwards compatibility because View Engine
also supported "static" queries which would resolve before
change detection.
Now if users add a `static: true` option, the query will be
resolved in creation mode (before change detection runs).
For example:
```ts
@ViewChild(TemplateRef, {static: true}) template !: TemplateRef;
```
This feature will come in handy for components that need
to create components dynamically.

Accounts for schemas in when validating properties in Ivy.
This PR resolves FW-819.
A couple of notes:
* I had to rework the test slightly, in order to have it fail when we expect it to. The one in master is passing since Ivy's validation runs during the update phase, rather than creation.
* I had to deviate from the design in FW-819 and not add an `enableSchema` instruction, because the schema is part of the `NgModule` scope, however the scope is only assigned to a component once all of the module's declarations have been resolved and some of them can be async. Instead, I opted to have the `schemas` on the component definition.

There are some differences in how ivy maps template source
compared to View Engine. In this commit we recreate the View Engine
tests for ivy.

When testing JIT code, it is useful to be able to access the
generated JIT source. Previously this is done by spying on the
global `Function` object, to capture the code when it is being
evaluated. This is problematic because you can only capture
the body of the function, and not the arguments, which messes
up line and column positions for source mapping for instance.
Now the code that generates and then evaluates JIT code is
wrapped in a `JitEvaluator` class, making it possible to provide
a mock implementation that can capture the generated source of
the function passed to `executeFunction(fn: Function, args: any[])`.

This commit consolidates the options that can modify the
parsing of text (e.g. HTML, Angular templates, CSS, i18n)
into an AST for further processing into a single `options`
hash.
This makes the code cleaner and more readable, but also
enables us to support further options to parsing without
triggering wide ranging changes to code that should not
be affected by these new options. Specifically, it will let
us pass information about the placement of a template
that is being parsed in its containing file, which is essential
for accurate SourceMap processing.

Prior to this change we may encounter some errors (like pipes being used where they should not be used) while compiling Host Bindings and Listeners. With this update we move validation logic to the analyze phase and throw an error if something is wrong. This also aligns error messages between Ivy and VE.

Analogously to directives, the `ngInjectableDef` field in .d.ts files is
annotated with the type of service that it represents. If the service
contains required generic type arguments, these must be included in
the .d.ts file.
