This commit makes the static flag on @ViewChild and @ContentChild required.
BREAKING CHANGE:
In Angular version 8, it's required that all @ViewChild and @ContentChild
queries have a 'static' flag specifying whether the query is 'static' or
'dynamic'. The compiler previously sorted queries automatically, but in
8.0 developers are required to explicitly specify which behavior is wanted.
This is a temporary requirement as part of a migration; see
https://angular.io/guide/static-query-migration for more details.
@ViewChildren and @ContentChildren queries are always dynamic, and so are
unaffected.

Clearing array with setting length to 0 replaced with [] for being short
and marginally efficient. For reference: [] is turned into a sequence of
around 15 machine instructions on x64 (if bump pointer allocation succeeds),
whereas a.length=0 is a C++ runtime function call, which requires 10-100x as
many instructions.
