The 'animations' field of @Component metadata should be copied directly
into the ngComponentDef for that component and should not pass through
static resolution.
Previously the animations array was statically resolved and then the
values were translated back when generating ngComponentDef.

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.

Create getter methods `getXXXDef` for each definition which
uses `hasOwnProperty` to verify that we don't accidently read form the
parent class.

Various user code uses 'instanceof' to check whether a particular instance
is a TemplateRef, ElementRef, etc. Ivy needs to work with these checks.

The bootstrap property of @NgModule was not previously compiled by
the compiler in AOT or JIT modes (in Ivy). This commit adds support
for bootstrap.

defineComponent() and friends can return a flyweight EMPTY object for
specific fields when they contain no data. InheritDefinitionFeature
was attempting to write into these flyweight objects, which have been
protected with Object.freeze().
This commit adds detection to InheritDefinitionFeature to identify the
frozen objects.

Closure compiler requires that the i18n message constants of the form
const MSG_XYZ = goog.getMessage('...');
have names that are unique across an entire compilation, even if the
variables themselves are local to a given module. This means that in
practice these names must be unique in a codebase.
The best way to guarantee this requirement is met is to encode the
relative file name of the file into which the constant is being written
into the constant name itself. This commit implements that solution.
