Previously, ngtsc would resolve forward references while evaluating the
bootstrap, declaration, imports, and exports fields of NgModule types.
However, when generating the resulting ngModuleDef, the forward nature of
these references was not taken into consideration, and so the generated JS
code would incorrectly reference types not yet declared.
This commit fixes this issue by introducing function closures in the
NgModuleDef type, similarly to how NgComponentDef uses them for forward
declarations of its directives and pipes arrays. ngtsc will then generate
closures when required, and the runtime will unwrap them if present.

Fixes the `ModuleWithComponentFactories.componentFactories` not being populated when calling `compileModuleAndAllComponentsSync` in Ivy.
These changes resolve FW-929.

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.

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 will allow RouterTestingModule to better support lazy loading of modules
when using summaries, since it can detect whether a module is already loaded
if it can access the id.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The `<template>` tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when
using Web Components).
This commit removes support for `<template>`. `<ng-template>` should be used
instead.
BEFORE:
<!-- html template -->
<template>some template content</template>
# tsconfig.json
{
# ...
"angularCompilerOptions": {
# ...
# This option is no more supported and will have no effect
"enableLegacyTemplate": [true|false]
}
}
AFTER:
<!-- html template -->
<ng-template>some template content</ng-template>

This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.

E.g. for a component like this:
```
@Component({
template: ‘<ng-content select=“child”></ng-content>’
})
class MyComp {
@Input(‘aInputName’)
aInputProp: string;
@Output(‘aEventName’)
aOuputProp: EventEmitter<any>;
}
```
the `ComponentFactory` will now contain the following:
- `inputs = {aInputProp: ‘aInputName’}`
- `outputs = {aOutputProp: ‘aOutputName’}`
- `ngContentSelectors = [‘child’]`
