Currently we read lifecycle hooks eagerly during `ɵɵdefineComponent`.
The result is that it is not possible to do any sort of meta-programing
such as mixins or adding lifecycle hooks using custom decorators since
any such code executes after `ɵɵdefineComponent` has extracted the
lifecycle hooks from the prototype. Additionally the behavior is
inconsistent between AOT and JIT mode. In JIT mode overriding lifecycle
hooks is possible because the whole `ɵɵdefineComponent` is placed in
getter which is executed lazily. This is because JIT mode must compile a
template which can be specified as `templateURL` and those we are
waiting for its resolution.
- `+` `ɵɵdefineComponent` becomes smaller as it no longer needs to copy
lifecycle hooks from prototype to `ComponentDef`
- `-` `ɵɵNgOnChangesFeature` feature is now always included with the
codebase as it is no longer tree shakable.
Previously we have read lifecycle hooks from prototype in the
`ɵɵdefineComponent` so that lifecycle hook access would be monomorphic.
This decision was made before we had `T*` data structures. By not
reading the lifecycle hooks we are moving the megamorhic read form
`ɵɵdefineComponent` to instructions. However, the reads happen on
`firstTemplatePass` only and are subsequently cached in the `T*` data
structures. The result is that the overall performance should be same
(or slightly better as the intermediate `ComponentDef` has been
removed.)
- [ ] Remove `ɵɵNgOnChangesFeature` from compiler. (It will no longer
be a feature.)
- [ ] Discuss the future of `Features` as they hinder meta-programing.

We currently use 16 bits to store information about nodes in a view.
The 16 bits give us 65536 entries in the array, but the problem is that while
the number is large, it can be reached by ~4300 directive instances with host
bindings which could realistically happen is a very large view, as seen in #37876.
Once we hit the limit, we end up overflowing which eventually leads to a runtime error.
These changes bump to using 20 bits which gives us around 1048576 entries in
the array or 16 times more than the current amount which could still technically
be reached, but is much less likely and the user may start hitting browser limitations
by that point.
I picked the 20 bit number since it gives us enough buffer over the 16 bit one,
while not being as massive as a 24 bit or 32 bit.
I've also added a dev mode assertion so it's easier to track down if it happens
again in the future.

Only refresh transplanted views at the insertion location in Ivy.
Previously, Ivy would check transplanted views at both the insertion and
declaration points. This is achieved by adding a marker to the insertion
tree when we encounter a transplanted view that needs to be refreshed at
its declaration. We use this marker as an extra indication that we still
need to descend and refresh those transplanted views at their insertion
locations even if the insertion view and/or its parents are not dirty.
This change fixes several issues:
* Transplanted views refreshed twice if both insertion and declaration
are dirty. This could be an error if the insertion component changes
result in data not being available to the transplanted view because it
is slated to be removed.
* CheckAlways transplanted views not refreshed if shielded by
non-dirty OnPush (fixes#35400)
* Transplanted views still refreshed when insertion tree is detached

Currently destroy hooks are stored in memory as `[1, hook, 5, hook]` where
the numbers represent the index at which to find the context and `hook` is
the function to be invoked. This breaks down for `multi` providers,
because the value at the index will be an array of providers, resulting in
the hook being invoked with an array of all the multi provider values,
rather than the provider that was destroyed. In ViewEngine `ngOnDestroy`
wasn't being called for `multi` providers at all.
These changes fix the issue by changing the structure of the destroy hooks to `[1, hook, 5, [0, hook, 3, hook]]` where the indexes inside the inner array point to the provider inside of the multi provider array. Note that this is slightly different from the original design which called for the structure to be `[1, hook, 5, [hook, hook]`, because in the process of implementing it, I realized that we wouldn't get passing the correct context if only some of the `multi` providers have `ngOnDestroy` and others don't.
I've run the newly-added `view_destroy_hooks` benchmark against these changes and compared it to master. The difference seems to be insignificant (between 1% and 2% slower).

Prior to this commit, the `packages/core/src/render3/interfaces/query.ts` file used to import `QueryList` using `../../linker`, which contains a lot of re-exports and as a result, this one import caused a lot of circular deps cycles reported by the tool that checks such deps. In other places in the code the `QueryList` is imported using more narrow import (`linker/query_list`), so this commit uses the same pattern.

This commit augments the `FactoryDef` declaration of Angular decorated
classes to contain information about the parameter decorators used in
the constructor. If no constructor is present, or none of the parameters
have any Angular decorators, then this will be represented using the
`null` type. Otherwise, a tuple type is used where the entry at index `i`
corresponds with parameter `i`. Each tuple entry can be one of two types:
1. If the associated parameter does not have any Angular decorators,
the tuple entry will be the `null` type.
2. Otherwise, a type literal is used that may declare at least one of
the following properties:
- "attribute": if `@Attribute` is present. The injected attribute's
name is used as string literal type, or the `unknown` type if the
attribute name is not a string literal.
- "self": if `@Self` is present, always of type `true`.
- "skipSelf": if `@SkipSelf` is present, always of type `true`.
- "host": if `@Host` is present, always of type `true`.
- "optional": if `@Optional` is present, always of type `true`.
A property is only present if the corresponding decorator is used.
Note that the `@Inject` decorator is currently not included, as it's
non-trivial to properly convert the token's value expression to a
type that is valid in a declaration file.
Additionally, the `ComponentDefWithMeta` declaration that is created for
Angular components has been extended to include all selectors on
`ng-content` elements within the component's template.
This additional metadata is useful for tooling such as the Angular
Language Service, as it provides the ability to offer suggestions for
directives/components defined in libraries. At the moment, such
tooling extracts the necessary information from the _metadata.json_
manifest file as generated by ngc, however this metadata representation
is being replaced by the information emitted into the declaration files.

tNode.directivesStart,
tNode.directivesEnd - tNode.DirectivesStart -1

This change changes the priority order of static styling.
Current priority:
```
(least priority)
- Static
- Component
- Directives
- Template
- Dynamic Binding
- Component
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
(highest priority)
```
The issue with the above priority is this use case:
```
<div style="color: red;" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
In the above case the directive will win and the resulting color will be `blue`. However a small change of adding interpolation to the example like so. (Style interpolation is coming in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/34202)
```
<div style="color: red; width: {{exp}}px" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
Changes the priority from static binding to interpolated binding which means now the resulting color is `red`. It is very surprising that adding an unrelated interpolation and style can change the `color` which was not changed. To fix that we need to make sure that the static values are associated with priority of the source (directive or template) where they were declared. The new resulting priority is:
```
(least priority)
- Component
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Static
- Map/Interpolation

We had some logic for generating and passing in the `elIndex` parameter into the `hostBindings` function, but it wasn't actually being used for anything. The only place left that had a reference to it was the `StylingBuilder` and it only stored it without referencing it again.

Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.
PR Close#34804
NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

The `computeStaticStyling` will be used for computing static styling value during `firstCreatePass`.
The function takes into account static styling from the template as well as from the host bindings. The host bindings need to be merged in front of the template so that they have the correct priority.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

Prior to this change, ComponentFactory.create function invocation in Ivy retained the content of the host element (in case host element reference or CSS seelctor is provided as an argument).

This commit aligns Ivy and View Engine and makes sure the host element is cleared before component content insertion.

Most of the use of `document` in the framework is within
the DI so they just inject the `DOCUMENT` token and are done.
Ivy is special because it does not rely upon the DI and must
get hold of the document some other way. There are a limited
number of places relevant to ivy that currently consume a global
document object.
The solution is modelled on the `LOCALE_ID` approach, which has
`getLocaleId()` and `setLocaleId()` top-level functions for ivy (see
`core/src/render3/i18n.ts`). In the rest of Angular (i.e. using DI) the
`LOCALE_ID` token has a provider that also calls setLocaleId() to
ensure that ivy has the same value.
This commit defines `getDocument()` and `setDocument() `top-level
functions for ivy. Wherever ivy needs the global `document`, it calls
`getDocument()` instead. Each of the platforms (e.g. Browser, Server,
WebWorker) have providers for `DOCUMENT`. In each of those providers
they also call `setDocument()` accordingly.

When debugging `LView`s it is easy to get lost since all of them have
the same name. This change does three things:
1. It makes `TView` have an explicit type:
- `Host`: for the top level `TView` for bootstrap
- `Component`: for the `TView` which represents components template
- `Embedded`: for the `TView` which represents an embedded template
2. It changes the name of `LView` to `LHostView`, `LComponentView`, and
`LEmbeddedView` depending on the `TView` type.
3. For `LComponentView` and `LEmbeddedView` we also append the name of
of the `context` constructor. The result is that we have `LView`s which
are name as: `LComponentView_MyComponent` and `LEmbeddedView_NgIfContext`.
The above changes will make it easier to understand the structure of the
application when debugging.
NOTE: All of these are behind `ngDevMode` and will get removed in
