As a part of the process of setting up Router providers, we use `ApplicationRef` as a dependency while providing `Router` token. The thing is that `ApplicationRef` is actually unused (all referenced were removed in 5a849829c4 (diff-c0baae5e1df628e1a217e8dc38557fcb)), but it's still listed as dependency. This is causing problems in case `Router` is used as a dependency for factory functions provided as `APP_INITIALIZERS` multi-token (causing cyclic dependency). This commit removes unused `ApplicationRef` dependency in `Router`, so it can be used without causing cyclic dependency issue.

`InitialNavigation` is used in `ExtraOptions`, which is already part of
the public API. Thus, `InitialNavigation` should be too. Not publicly
exporting it from `router/index.ts` seems an omission, since the type is
already annotated with the `@publicApi` JSDoc tag.
By publicly exporting `InitialNavigation`, it will also correctly appear
in the API docs on angular.io.

Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.

Previously, the router would merge path and matrix params, as well as
data/resolve, with special rules (only merging down when the route has
an empty path, or is component-less). This change adds an extra option
"paramsInheritanceStrategy" which, when set to 'always', makes child
routes unconditionally inherit params from parent routes.
Closes#20572.
BREAKING CHANGE: the values `true`, `false`, `legacy_enabled` and `legacy_disabled` for the router parameter `initialNavigation` have been removed as they were deprecated. Use `enabled` or `disabled` instead.
PR Close#18781
BREAKING CHANGE:
Perviously, any provider that had an ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook would be created eagerly.
Now, only classes that are annotated with @Component, @Directive, @Pipe, @NgModule are eager. Providers only become eager if they are either directly or transitively injected into one of the above.
This also makes all `useValue` providers eager, which
should have no observable impact other than code size.
EXPECTED IMPACT:
Making providers eager was an incorrect behavior and never documented.
Also, providers that are used by a directive / pipe / ngModule stay eager.
So the impact should be rather small.
Fixes#14552
