Before this refactoring/fix the ICU would store the current selected
index in `TView`. This is incorrect, since if ICU is in `ngFor` it will
cause issues in some circumstances. This refactoring properly moves the
state to `LView`.

This commit updates the code to move generated i18n statements into the `consts` field of
ComponentDef to avoid invoking `$localize` function before component initialization (to better
support runtime translations) and also avoid problems with lazy-loading when i18n defs may not
be present in a chunk where it's referenced.
Prior to this change the i18n statements were generated at the top leve:
```
var I18N_0;
if (typeof ngI18nClosureMode !== "undefined" && ngI18nClosureMode) {
var MSG_X = goog.getMsg(“…”);
I18N_0 = MSG_X;
} else {
I18N_0 = $localize('...');
}
defineComponent({
// ...
template: function App_Template(rf, ctx) {
i0.ɵɵi18n(2, I18N_0);
}
});
```
This commit updates the logic to generate the following code instead:
```
defineComponent({
// ...
consts: function() {
var I18N_0;
if (typeof ngI18nClosureMode !== "undefined" && ngI18nClosureMode) {
var MSG_X = goog.getMsg(“…”);
I18N_0 = MSG_X;
} else {
I18N_0 = $localize('...');
}
return [
I18N_0
];
},
template: function App_Template(rf, ctx) {
i0.ɵɵi18n(2, 0);
}
});
```
Also note that i18n template instructions now refer to the `consts` array using an index
(similar to other template instructions).

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.
Fixes#37876.

Previously all static styling information (including the ones from component/directive host bindings) would get merged into a single value before it would be written into the `@Input('class'/'style')`. The new behavior specifically excludes host values from the `@Input` bindings.

`TNode.directives` was introduced in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/34938. Turns out that it is unnecessary because the information is already present it `TData` when combining with `TNode.directiveStart` and `TNode.directiveEnd`
Mainly this is true (conceptually):
```
expect(tNode.directives).toEqual(
tData.slice(
tNode.directivesStart,
tNode.directivesEnd - tNode.DirectivesStart -1
)
);
```
The refactoring removes `TNode.directives` and adds `TNode.directiveStyling` as we still need to keep location in the directive in `TNode`
PR Close#35050
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
- Property
(highest priority)

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.
PR Closes#34418
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.

This adds `insertTStyleValue` but does not hook it up to anything yet.
The purpose of this function is to create a linked-list of styling
related bindings. The bindings can be traversed during flush.
The linked list also keeps track of duplicates. This is important
for binding to know if it needs to check other styles for reconciliation.

Fixes Ivy matching directives against attribute bindings (e.g. `[attr.some-directive]="foo"`). Works by excluding attribute bindings from the attributes array during compilation. This has the added benefit of generating less code.
**Note:** My initial approach to implementing this was to have a different marker for attribute bindings so that they can be ignored when matching directives, however as I was implementing it I realized that the attributes in that array were only used for directive matching (as far as I could tell). I decided to drop the attribute bindings completely, because it results in less generated code.

This is the first refactor PR designed to change how styling bindings
(i.e. `[style]` and `[class]`) behave in Ivy. Instead of having a heavy
element-by-element context be generated for each element, this new
refactor aims to use a single context for each `tNode` element that is
examined and iterated over when styling values are to be applied to the
element.
This patch brings this new functionality to prop-based bindings such as
`[style.prop]` and `[class.name]`.

Currently in Ivy we pass both the raw and parsed selectors to the projectionDef instruction, because the parsed selectors are used to match most nodes, whereas the raw ones are used to match against nodes with the ngProjectAs attribute. The raw selectors add a fair bit of code that won't be used in most cases, because ngProjectAs is somewhat rare.
These changes rework the compiler not to output the raw selectors in the projectionDef, but to parse the selector in ngProjectAs and to store it on the TAttributes. The logic for matching has also been changed so that it matches the pre-parsed ngProjectAs selector against the list of projection selectors.

The content projection mechanism is static, in that it only looks at the static
template nodes before directives are matched and change detection is run.
When you have a selector-based content projection the selection is based
on nodes that are available in the template.
For example:
```
<ng-content selector="[some-attr]"></ng-content>
```
would match
```
<div some-attr="..."></div>
```
If you have an inline-template in your projected nodes. For example:
```
<div *ngIf="..." some-attr="..."></div>
```
This gets pre-parsed and converted to a canonical form.
For example:
```
<ng-template [ngIf]="...">
<div some-attr=".."></div>
</ng-template>
```
Note that only structural attributes (e.g. `*ngIf`) stay with the `<ng-template>`
node. The other attributes move to the contained element inside the template.
When this happens in ivy, the ng-template content is removed
from the component template function and is compiled into its own
template function. But this means that the information about the
attributes that were on the content are lost and the projection
selection mechanism is unable to match the original
`<div *ngIf="..." some-attr>`.
This commit adds support for this in ivy. Attributes are separated into three
groups (Bindings, Templates and "other"). For inline-templates the Bindings
and "other" types are hoisted back from the contained node to the `template()`
instruction, so that they can be used in content projection matching.
