JoostK a42057d0f8 fix(ivy): support abstract directives in template type checking (#33131 )

Recently it was made possible to have a directive without selector,
which are referred to as abstract directives. Such directives should not
be registered in an NgModule, but can still contain decorators for
inputs, outputs, queries, etc. The information from these decorators and
the `@Directive()` decorator itself needs to be registered with the
central `MetadataRegistry` so that other areas of the compiler can
request information about a given directive, an example of which is the
template type checker that needs to know about the inputs and outputs of
directives.

Prior to this change, however, abstract directives would only register
themselves with the `MetadataRegistry` as being an abstract directive,
without all of its other metadata like inputs and outputs. This meant
that the template type checker was unable to resolve the inputs and
outputs of these abstract directives, therefore failing to check them
correctly. The typical error would be that some property does not exist
on a DOM element, whereas said property should have been bound to the
abstract directive's input.

This commit fixes the problem by always registering the metadata of a
directive or component with the `MetadataRegistry`. Tests have been
added to ensure abstract directives are handled correctly in the
template type checker, together with tests to verify the form of
abstract directives in declaration files.

`indexer`

The indexer module generates semantic analysis about components used in an Angular project. The module is consumed by a semantic analysis API on an Angular program, which can be invoked separately from the regular Angular compilation pipeline.

The module is not a fully-featured source code indexer. Rather, it is designed to produce semantic information about an Angular project that can then be used by language analysis tools to generate, for example, cross-references in Angular templates.

The indexer module is developed primarily with the Kythe ecosystem in mind as an indexing service.

Scope of Analysis

The scope of analysis performed by the module includes

indexing template syntax identifiers in a component template
generating information about directives used in a template
generating metadata about component and template source files

The module does not support indexing TypeScript source code.
