Previously, this code would unconditionally add a @fileoverview
comment to generated files, and only if the contained any code at all.
However often existing fileoverview comments should be copied from the
file the generated file was originally based off of. This allows users
to e.g. include Closure Compiler directives in their original
`component.ts` file, which will then automaticallly also apply to code
generated from it.
This special cases `@license` comments, as Closure disregards directives
in comments containing `@license`.

Closure Compiler by default will report diagnostics from type checks in
any JavaScript code, including code emitted by the Angular compiler.
Disabling `checkTypes` substantially reduces warning spam for users, and
allows them to run with stricter compiler flags (e.g. treating actual
diagnostics from user code as errors).
Closure Compiler will still type check the code and use types (where
found and correct) for optimizations.

If no user files changed:
- only type check the changed generated files
Never emit non changed generated files
- we still calculate them, but don’t send them through
TypeScript to emit them but cache the written files instead.
PR Close#19646
For now, we always create all generated files, but diff them
before we pass them to TypeScript.
For the user files, we compare the programs and only emit changed
TypeScript files.
This also adds more diagnostic messages if the `—diagnostics` flag
is passed to the command line.
