Previously, helper modules/components classes were declared even if the
tests were not run (because the environment did not support Custom
Elements for example).
This commit moves the declaration of the helpers inside the `describe()`
block, so they are not declared unnecessarily. This is in preparation of
adding more helpers that need to access variables declared inside the
`describe()` block.

`createCustomElements()` creates some getters/setters for properties
corresponding to component inputs that delegate to the
`NgElementStrategy`. However, it is not guaranteed that the element's
`NgElementStrategy` will have been created when these getters/setters
are called, because some polyfills (e.g. `document-register-element`) do
not call the constructor.
Previously, trying to get/set input properties before connecting the
element to the DOM (via `connectedCallback()`) would fail due to
`NgElementStrategy` not being created.
This commit ensures that the `NgElementStrategy` is always created
before used inside the input property getters/setters (similar to how it
is done for other methods of `NgElement`).

Fixes all TypeScript failures caused by enabling the `--strict`
flag for test source files. We also want to enable the strict
options for tests as the strictness enforcement improves the
overall codehealth, unveiled common issues and additionally it
allows us to enable `strict` in the `tsconfig.json` that is picked
up by IDE's.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.
