In some scenarios it is useful for the developer to indicate
to ngcc that it should not use the entry-point manifest
file, and instead write a new one.

The `DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder` has to traverse the
entire node_modules library everytime it executes in order to
identify the entry-points that need to be processed. This is
very time consuming (several seconds for big projects on
Windows).
This commit changes the `DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder` to
use the `EntryPointManifest` to store the paths to entry-points
that were found when doing this initial node_modules traversal
in a file to be reused for subsequent calls.
This dramatically speeds up ngcc processing when it has been run once
already.

To support parallel CLI builds we instruct developers to pre-process
their node_modules via ngcc at the command line.
Despite doing this ngcc was still trying to set a lock when it was being

The Angular CLI will continue to call ngcc on all possible packages, even if they

ngcc computes a dependency graph of entry-points to ensure that
entry-points are processed in the correct order. Previously only the imports
in source files were analysed to determine the dependencies for each
entry-point.
This is not sufficient when an entry-point has a "type-only" dependency
- for example only importing an interface from another entry-point.
In this case the "type-only" import does not appear in the
source code. It only appears in the typings files. This can cause a
dependency to be missed on the entry-point.
This commit fixes this by additionally processing the imports in the
typings program, as well as the source program.
Note that these missing dependencies could cause unexpected flakes when
running ngcc in async mode on multiple processes due to the way that
ngcc caches files when they are first read from disk.

`ngcc` supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution. The default
mode when using `ngcc` programmatically (which is how `@angular/cli` is
using it) is synchronous. When running `ngcc` from the command line
(i.e. via the `ivy-ngcc` script), it runs in async mode.
Previously, the work would be executed in the same way in both modes.
This commit improves the performance of `ngcc` in async mode by
processing tasks in parallel on multiple processes. It uses the Node.js
built-in [`cluster` module](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) to
launch a cluster of Node.js processes and take advantage of multi-core
systems.
Preliminary comparisons indicate a 1.8x to 2.6x speed improvement when
processing the angular.io app (apparently depending on the OS, number of
available cores, system load, etc.). Further investigation is needed to
better understand these numbers and identify potential areas of
improvement.

Previously, `ngcc` needed to store some metadata related to the
processing of each entry-point. This metadata was stored in a `Map`, in
the form of `EntryPointProcessingMetadata` and passed around as needed.
After some recent refactorings, it turns out that this metadata (with
its only remaining property, `hasProcessedTypings`) was no longer used,
because the relevant information was extracted from other sources (such
as the `processDts` property on `Task`s).
This commit cleans up the code by removing the unused code and types.
PR Close#32427
In the past, a task's processability didn't use to be known in advance.
It was possible that a task would be created and added to the queue
during the analysis phase and then later (during the compilation phase)
it would be found out that the task (i.e. the associated format
property) was not processable.
As a result, certain checks had to be delayed, until a task's processing
had started or even until all tasks had been processed. Examples of
checks that had to be delayed are:
- Whether a task can be skipped due to `compileAllFormats: false`.
- Whether there were entry-points for which no format at all was
successfully processed.
It turns out that (as made clear by the refactoring in 9537b2ff8), once
a task starts being processed it is expected to either complete
successfully (with the associated format being processed) or throw an
error (in which case the process will exit). In other words, a task's
processability is known in advance.
This commit takes advantage of this fact by moving certain checks
earlier in the process (e.g. in the analysis phase instead of the
compilation phase), which in turn allows avoiding some unnecessary work.
More specifically:
- When `compileAllFormats` is `false`, tasks are created _only_ for the
first suitable format property for each entry-point, since the rest of
the tasks would have been skipped during the compilation phase anyway.
This has the following advantages:
1. It avoids the slight overhead of generating extraneous tasks and
then starting to process them (before realizing they should be
skipped).
2. In a potential future parallel execution mode, unnecessary tasks
might start being processed at the same time as the first (useful)
task, even if their output would be later discarded, wasting
resources. Alternatively, extra logic would have to be added to
prevent this from happening. The change in this commit avoids these
issues.
- When an entry-point is not processable, an error will be thrown
upfront without having to wait for other tasks to be processed before
failing.

Previously, `ngcc`'s programmatic API would run and complete
synchronously. This was necessary for specific usecases (such as how the
`@angular/cli` invokes `ngcc` as part of the TypeScript module
resolution process), but not for others (e.g. running `ivy-ngcc` as a
`postinstall` script).
This commit adds a new option (`async`) that enables turning on
asynchronous execution. I.e. it signals that the caller is OK with the
function call to complete asynchronously, which allows `ngcc` to
potentially run in a more efficient mode.
Currently, there is no difference in the way tasks are executed in sync
vs async mode, but this change sets the ground for adding new execution
options (that require asynchronous operation), such as processing tasks
in parallel on multiple processes.
NOTE:
When using the programmatic API, the default value for `async` is
`false`, thus retaining backwards compatibility.
When running `ngcc` from the command line (i.e. via the `ivy-ngcc`
script), it runs in async mode (to be able to take advantage of future
optimizations), but that is transparent to the caller.

Previously, any diagnostics reported during the compilation of an
entry-point would not be shown to the user, but either be ignored or
cause a hard crash in case of a `FatalDiagnosticError`. This is
unfortunate, as such error instances contain information on which code
was responsible for producing the error, whereas only its error message
would not. Therefore, it was quite hard to determine where the error
originates from.
This commit introduces behavior to deal with error diagnostics in a more
graceful way. Such diagnostics will still cause the compilation to fail,
however the error message now contains formatted diagnostics.

If a project has nested projects that contain node_modules folders
that get processed by ngcc, it can be confusing when the ngcc
version changes since the error message is very generic:
```
The ngcc compiler has changed since the last ngcc build.
Please completely remove `node_modules` and try again.
```
This commit augments the error message with the path of
the entry-point that failed so that it is more obvious which
node_modules folder to remove.
BREAKING CHANGE:
This commit removes the public export of `hasBeenProcessed()`.
This was exported to be availble to the CLI integration but was never
used. The change to the function signature is a breaking change in itself
so we remove the function altogether to simplify and lower the public
API surface going forward.

Previously, `ngcc` assumed that if a format property was defined in
`package.json` it would point to a valid format-path (i.e. a file that
is an entry-point for a specific format). This is generally the case,
except if a format property is set to a non-string value (such as
`package.json`) - either directly in the `package.json` (which is unusual)
or in ngcc.config.js (which is a valid usecase, when one wants a
format property to be ignored by `ngcc`).
For example, the following config file would cause `ngcc` to throw:
```
module.exports = {
packages: {
'test-package': {
entryPoints: {
'.': {
override: {
fesm2015: undefined,
},
},
},
},

is a string are considered by `ngcc`.

Previously, `ngcc` would avoid processing a `formatPath` that a property
in `package.json` mapped to, if either the _property_ was marked as
processed or the `formatPath` (i.e. the file(s)) was processed in the
same `ngcc` run (since the `compiledFormats` set was not persisted
across runs).
This could lead in a situation where a `formatPath` would be compiled
twice (if for example properties `a` and `b` both mapped to the same
`formatPath` and one would run `ngcc` for property `a` and then `b`).
This commit fixes it by ensuring that as soon as a `formatPath` has been
processed all corresponding properties are marked as processed (which
persists across `ngcc` runs).
PR Close#32003
Previously, when `ngcc` was called with `compileAllFormats === false`
(i.e. how `@angular/cli` calls it), it would not attempt to process
more properties, once the first was successfully processed. However, it
_would_ continue looping over them and perform some unnecessary
operations, such as:
- Determining the format each property maps to (which can be an
expensive operation for some properties mapping to either UMD or
CommonJS).
- Checking whether each property has been processed (which involves
checking whether any property has been processed with a different
version of `ngcc` each time).
- Potentially marking properties as processed (which involves a
file-write operation).
This commit avoids the unnecessary operations by entirely skipping
subsequent properties, once the first one has been successfully
processed. While this theoretically improves performance, it is not
expected to have any noticeable impact in practice, since the list of
`propertiesToConsider` is typically small and the most expensive
operation (marking a property as processed) has low likelihood of
happening (plus these operations are a tiny fraction of `ngcc`'s work).
PR Close#32003
Previously, when `ngcc` needed to mark multiple properties as processed
(e.g. a processed format property and `typings` or all supported
properties for a non-Angular entry-point), it would update each one
separately and write the file to disk multiple times.
This commit changes this, so that multiple properties can be updated at
once with one file-write operation. While this theoretically improves
performance (reducing the I/O operations), it is not expected to have
any noticeable impact in practice, since these operations are a tiny
fraction of `ngcc`'s work.
This change will be useful for a subsequent change to mark all
properties that map to the same `formatPath` as processed, once it is
processed the first time.

are considered rather than the whole folder tree.
