This commit adds support for the `static: true` flag in `ContentChild`
queries. Prior to this commit, all `ContentChild` 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
@ContentChild(TemplateRef, {static: true}) template !: TemplateRef;
```
This feature will come in handy for components that need
to create components dynamically.

Prior to this change contentQueriesRefresh functions that represent refresh logic for @ContentQuery list were not composable, which caused problems in case one Directive inherits another one and both of them contain Content Queries. Due to the fact that we used indices to reference queries in refresh function, results were placed into wrong Queries. In order to avoid that we no longer use indices to reference queries and instead maintain current content query index while iterating through them. This allows us to compose contentQueriesRefresh functions and make inheritance feature work with Content Queries.

By its nature, Ivy alters the import graph of a TS program, adding imports
where template dependencies exist. For example, if ComponentA uses PipeB
in its template, Ivy will insert an import of PipeB into the file in which
ComponentA is declared.
Any insertion of an import into a program has the potential to introduce a
cycle into the import graph. If for some reason the file in which PipeB is
declared imports the file in which ComponentA is declared (maybe it makes
use of a service or utility function that happens to be in the same file as
ComponentA) then this could create an import cycle. This turns out to
happen quite regularly in larger Angular codebases.
TypeScript and the Ivy runtime have no issues with such cycles. However,
other tools are not so accepting. In particular the Closure Compiler is
very anti-cycle.
To mitigate this problem, it's necessary to detect when the insertion of
an import would create a cycle. ngtsc can then use a different strategy,
known as "remote scoping", instead of directly writing a reference from
one component to another. Under remote scoping, a function
'setComponentScope' is called after the declaration of the component's
module, which does not require the addition of new imports.

Prior to this change `viewQuery` functions that represent @ViewQuery list were not composable, which caused problems in case one Component/Directive inherits another one and both of them contain View Queries. Due to the fact that we used indices to reference queries, resulting query set was corrupted (child component queries were overridden by super class ones). In order to avoid that we no longer use indices assigned at compile time and instead maintain current view query index while iterating through them. This allows us to compose `viewQuery` functions and make inheritance feature work with View Queries.

Due to the fact that animations in Angular are defined in the component metadata,
all animation trigger definitions are localized to the component and are
inaccessible outside of it. Animation host listeners in Ivy are
rendered in the context of the parent component, but the VE renders them
differently. This patch ensures that animation host listeners are
always registered in the sub component's renderer

This update introduces support for global object (window, document, body) listeners, that can be defined via host listeners on Components and Directives.

Fixes Ivy's `QueryList` not being an instance of the exported ViewEnginer `QueryList`.
Also reworks `first`, `last` and `length` to be regular properties, rather than setters. Reworking `length` was required to be able to extend the ViewEngine `QueryList`, but I reworked `first` and `last` as well since getters generate a lot more code when transpiled to ES5.
These changes fix FW-706.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The public API for `DebugNode` was accidentally too broad. This change removes
1. Public constructor. Since `DebugNode` is a way for Angular to communicate information
on to the developer there is no reason why the developer should ever need to
Instantiate the `DebugNode`
2. We are also removing `removeChild`, `addChild`, `insertBefore`, and `insertChildAfter`.
All of these methods are used by Angular to constructor the correct `DebugNode` tree.
There is no reason why the developer should ever be constructing a `DebugNode` tree
And these methods should have never been made public.
3. All properties have been change to `readonly` since `DebugNode` is used by Angular
to communicate to developer and there is no reason why these APIs should be writable.
While technically breaking change we don’t expect anyone to be effected by this change.

This commit introduces the setClassMetadata() private function, which
adds metadata to a type in a way that can be accessed via Angular's
ReflectionCapabilities. Currently, it writes to static fields as if
the metadata being added was downleveled from decorators by tsickle.
The plan is for ngtsc to emit code which calls this function, passing
metadata on to the runtime for testing purposes. Calls to this function
would then be tree-shaken away for production bundles.
Testing strategy: proper operation of this function will be an integral
part of TestBed metadata overriding. Angular core tests will fail if this
is broken.

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.

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.
