Changed `setValue` documentation for throwing an error as it contained a grammar
mistake and also may have caused ambiguity around when exactly the
method would throw.

Static methods that return a type of ModuleWithProviders currently
do not have to specify a type because the generic falls back to any.
This is problematic because the type of the actual module being
returned is not present in the type information.
Since Ivy uses d.ts files exclusively for downstream packages
(rather than metadata.json files, for example), we no longer have
the type of the actual module being created.
For this reason, a generic type should be added for
ModuleWithProviders that specifies the module type. This will be
required for all users in v10, but will only be necessary for
users of Ivy in v9.

Previously, the `FileSystem` abstraction featured a `mkdir()` method. In
`NodeJSFileSystem` (the default `FileSystem` implementation used in
actual code), the method behaved similar to Node.js' `fs.mkdirSync()`
(i.e. failing if any parent directory is missing or the directory exists
already). In contrast, `MockFileSystem` (which is the basis or mock
`FileSystem` implementations used in tests) implemented `mkdir()` as an
alias to `ensureDir()`, which behaved more like Node.js'
`fs.mkdirSync()` with the `recursive` option set to `true` (i.e.
creating any missing parent directories and succeeding if the directory
exists already).
This commit fixes this inconsistency by removing the `mkdir()` method,
which was not used anyway and only keeping `ensureDir()` (which is
consistent across our different `FileSystem` implementations).

When `ngcc` is running in parallel mode (usually when run from the
command line) and the `createNewEntryPointFormats` option is set to true
(e.g. via the `--create-ivy-entry-points` command line option), it can
happen that two workers end up trying to create the same directory at
the same time. This can lead to a race condition, where both check for
the directory existence, see that the directory does not exist and both
try to create it, with the second failing due the directory's having
already been created by the first one. Note that this only affects
directories and not files, because `ngcc` tasks operate on different
sets of files.
This commit avoids this race condition by allowing `FileSystem`'s
`ensureDir()` method to not fail if one of the directories it is trying
to create already exists (and is indeed a directory). This is fine for
the `ensureDir()` method, since it's purpose is to ensure that the
specified directory exists. So, even if the `mkdir()` call failed
(because the directory exists), `ensureDir()` has still completed its
mission.

Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static function with the name ngCoerceInput_value. If such a function is
found, the type-checking expression for the input will be wrapped in a call
to the function, allowing for the expression of a type conversion between
the binding expression and the value being written to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngCoerceInput_value(value: {toString(): string}): string {
return null!;
}
}
```

As a hack to get the Ivy compiler ngtsc off the ground, the existing
'allowEmptyCodegenFiles' option was used to control generation of ngfactory
and ngsummary shims during compilation. This option was selected since it's
enabled in google3 but never enabled in external projects.
As ngtsc is now mature and the role shims play in compilation is now better
understood across the ecosystem, this commit introduces two new compiler
options to control shim generation:
* generateNgFactoryShims controls the generation of .ngfactory shims.
* generateNgSummaryShims controls the generation of .ngsummary shims.
The 'allowEmptyCodegenFiles' option is still honored if either of the above
flags are not set explicitly.
