Currently external static symbols which are referenced by AOT
compiler generated code, will be re-exported in the corresponding
`.ngfactory` files.
This way of handling the symbol resolution has been introduced in
favor of avoding dynamically generated module dependencies. This
behavior therefore avoids any strict dependency failures.
Read more about a particular scenario here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25644#issuecomment-458354439
Now with `ngtsc`, this behavior has changed since `ngtsc` just
introduces these module dependencies in order to properly reference
the external symbol from its original location (also eliminating the need
for factories). Similarly we should provide a way to use the same
behavior with `ngc` because the downside of using the re-exported symbol
resolution is that user-code transformations (e.g. the `ngInjectableDef`
metadata which is added to the user source code), can resolve external
symbols to previous factory symbol re-exports. This is a critical issue
because it means that the actual JIT code references factory files in order
to access external symbols. This means that the generated output cannot
shipped to NPM without shipping the referenced factory files.
A specific example has been reported here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25644#issue-353554070

* don't reexport symbols that the user already reexported

Also adds auto upgrade from lower version based
on the .d.ts file (e.g. from version 3 to 4).
This is needed as we are now also capturing type aliases
in metadata files (and we rely on this),
see 6e3498ca8e6752c0d59c19c89e3211744e80f6d8.
This is needed as the typescript no longer elides type reexports
in the generated code when using transformers.
A nice side effect is that this make summaries shorter and produces
less reexports as we rollup reexports.

This also allows to customize the filePaths in `.ngsummary.json` file
via the new methods `toSummaryFileName` and `fromSummaryFileName`
on the `CompilerHost`.
Allows to inherit ctor args, lifecycle hooks and statics from a class
in another compilation unit.
Will error if trying to inherit from a class in another compilation unit
that has an `@Component` / `@Directive` / `@Pipe` / `@NgModule`.
