Angular repo, and it's useful for users who want to know more about what's next.

Previously the volatile status file was always provided to the ng_rollup
action which prevented it from being cacheable remotely. This change to
only provide this file as an input when the --stamp flag is used will allow
for the action to be remotely cached and prevent needing to run the action
on every CI run.

Removes `ViewEncapsulation.Native` which has been deprecated for several major versions.
BREAKING CHANGES:
* `ViewEncapsulation.Native` has been removed. Use `ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom` instead. Existing
usages will be updated automatically by `ng update`.

Updates to rules_nodejs 2.2.0. This is the first major release in 7 months and includes a number of features as well
as breaking changes.
Release notes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/tag/2.0.0
Features of note for angular/angular:
* stdout/stderr/exit code capture; this could be potentially be useful
* TypeScript (ts_project); a simpler tsc rule that ts_library that can be used in the repo where ts_library is too
heavy weight
Breaking changes of note for angular/angular:
* loading custom rules from npm packages: `ts_library` is no longer loaded from `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl`
(which no longer exists) but is now loaded from `@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl`
* with the loading changes above, `load("@npm//:install_bazel_dependencies.bzl", "install_bazel_dependencies")` is
no longer needed in the WORKSPACE which also means that yarn_install does not need to run unless building/testing
a target that depends on @npm. In angular/angular this is a minor improvement as almost everything depends on @npm.
* @angular/bazel package is also updated in this PR to support the new load location; Angular + Bazel users that
require it for ng_package (ng_module is no longer needed in OSS with Angular 10) will need to load from
`@npm//@angular/bazel:index.bzl`. I investigated if it was possible to maintain backward compatability for the old
load location `@npm_angular_bazel` but it is not since the package itself needs to be updated to load from
`@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl` instead of `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl` as it depends on ts_library
internals for ng_module.
* runfiles.resolve will now throw instead of returning undefined to match behavior of node require
Other changes in angular/angular:
* integration/bazel has been updated to use both ng_module and ts_libary with use_angular_plugin=true.
The latter is the recommended way for rules_nodejs users to compile Angular 10 with Ivy. Bazel + Angular ViewEngine is
supported with @angular/bazel <= 9.0.5 and Angular <= 8. There is still Angular ViewEngine example on rules_nodejs
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_view_engine on these older versions but users
that want to update to Angular 10 and are on Bazel must switch to Ivy and at that point ts_library with
use_angular_plugin=true is more performant that ng_module. Angular example in rules_nodejs is configured this way
as well: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular. As an aside, we also have an
example of building Angular 10 with architect() rule directly instead of using ts_library with angular plugin:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_bazel_architect.
NB: ng_module is still required for angular/angular repository as it still builds ViewEngine & @angular/bazel
also provides the ng_package rule. ng_module can be removed in the future if ViewEngine is no longer needed in
angular repo.
* JSModuleInfo provider added to ng_module. this is for forward compat for future rules_nodejs versions.

@josephperrott, this touches `packages/bazel/src/external.bzl` which will make the sync to g3 non-trivial.

The function was removed by default in Bazel 0.27.
It is still accessible with the flag `--incompatible_new_actions_api`
(which is set in Google code base), but the flag will be deleted very soon.
This change should be a no-op for Bazel users. The change was tested in
Google (cl/318277076) and should be safe as well.

The `ng_module` rule supports the generation of flat module bundles. In
View Engine, information about this flat module bundle is exposed
as a Bazel provider. This is helpful as other rules like `ng_package`
could rely on this information to determine entry-points for the APF.
With Ivy this currently does not work because the flat module
information is not exposed in the provider. The reason for this is
unclear. We should also provide this information in Ivy so that rules
like `ng_package` can also determine the correct entry-points when a
package is built specifically with `--config=ivy`.

It looks like there is a leftover golden in the `ng_package`
tests that is no longer used anywhere and does not reflect
the latest Angular Package Format v10 changes. We should be
able to remove it to keep our codebase healthy.
PR Close#37623
Refactors the `ng_rollup_bundle` rule to a macro that relies on
the `@bazel/rollup` package. This means that the rule no longer
deals with custom ESM5 flavour output, but rather only builds
prodmode ES2015 output. This matches the common build output
in Angular projects, and optimizations done in CLI where
ES2015 is the default optimization input.
The motiviation for this change is:
* Not duplicating rollup Bazel rules. Instead leveraging the official
rollup rule.
* Not dealing with a third TS output flavor in Bazel.The ESM5 flavour has the
potential of slowing down local development (as it requires compilation replaying)
* Updating the rule to be aligned with current CLI optimizations.
This also _fixes_ a bug that surfaced in the old rollup bundle rule.
Code that is unused, is not removed properly. The new rule fixes this by
setting the `toplevel` flag. This instructs terser to remove unused
definitions at top-level. This matches the optimization applied in CLI
projects. Notably the CLI doesn't need this flag, as code is always
wrapped by Webpack. Hence, the unused code eliding runs by default.

As of Angular Package Format v10, we no longer ship a `fesm5` and
`fesm5` output in packages. We made this change to the `ng_package`
rule but intentionally did not clean up related build actions.
This follow-up commit cleans this up by:
* No longer building fesm5 bundles, or providing esm2015 output.
* No longer requesting and building a third flavor for ESM5. We can
use TSC to downlevel ES2015 sources/prodmode output similarly to how it
is done in `ng-packagr`.
The third output flavor (ESM5) resulted in a build slow-down as we
required a full recompilation of sources. Now, we only have a single
compilation for prodmode output, and then downlevel it on-demand
to ES5 for the UMD bundles. Here is timing for building the release
packages in `angular/angular` before this change, and afterwards:
* Before: 462.157s = ~7.7min
* After: 339.703s = ~5.6min
This signifies a time reduction by 27% when running
`./scripts/build/build-packages-dist.sh`.

This feature is aimed at development tooling that has to translate
production build inputs into their devmode equivalent. The current
process involves guessing the devmode filename based on string
replace patterns. This allows consuming build actions to read the
known mappings instead.
This is a change in anticipation of an update to the general
Typescript build rules to consume this data.

This checks for a Bazel flag in `ng_module()` in the `_renderer` attribute
which specifies the renderer to use for the build.
The main advantage of this flag is that it can be overridden with [Bazel
transitions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html),
giving much more flexibility for migrating individual applications in a
Bazel workspace to Ivy.
This flag is not intended to replace `--config ivy` or
`--define angular_ivy_enabled=True` (although it technically could). As a
result, this flag is not and will not actually be used anywhere in the
`angular/angular` repo. Instead, a `string_flag()` is provided internally
which sets the renderer via a transition. See http://cl/315749946.
Note that this does **not** introduce a dependency on Skylib for
`angular/angular`. The dependency isn't actually necessary because
`BuildSettingInfo` is not used externally anyways. By doing this, it is not
necessary for downstream, external workspaces to depend on Skylib.

In the current version of zone.js, zone.js uses it's own package format, and it is not following the rule
of Angualr package format(APF), so it is not easily to be consumed by Angular CLI or other bundle tools.
For example, zone.js npm package has two bundles,
1. zone.js/dist/zone.js, this is a `es5` bundle.
2. zone.js/dist/zone-evergreen.js, this is a `es2015` bundle.
And Angular CLI has to add some hard-coding code to handle this case, ohttps://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/5376a8b1392ac7bd252782d8474161ce03a4d1cb/packages/schematics/angular/application/files/src/polyfills.ts.template#L55-L58
This PR upgrade zone.js npm package format to follow APF rule, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZC2rcpxffTDfRDs6p1cfbmKNLA6x5O-NtkJglDaBVs/edit#heading=h.k0mh3o8u5hx
The updated points are:
1. in package.json, update all bundle related properties
```
"main": "./bundles/zone.umd.js",
"module": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"es2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"fesm2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
```
2. re-organize dist folder, for example for `zone.js` bundle, now we have
```
dist/
bundles/
zone.js // this is the es5 bundle
fesm2015/
zone.js // this is the es2015 bundle (in the old version is `zone-evergreen.js`)
```
3. have several sub-packages.
1. `zone-testing`, provide zone-testing bundles include zone.js and testing libraries
2. `zone-node`, provide zone.js implemention for NodeJS
3. `zone-mix`, provide zone.js patches for both Browser and NodeJS
All those sub-packages will have their own `package.json` and the bundle will reference `bundles(es5)` and `fesm2015(es2015)`.
4. keep backward compatibility, still keep the `zone.js/dist` folder, and all bundles will be redirected to `zone.js/bundles` or `zone.js/fesm2015` folders.
