BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```
For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

This change marks all relevant define* callsites as pure, causing the compiler to
emmit either @__PURE__ or @pureOrBreakMyCode annotation based on whether we are
compiling code annotated for closure or terser.
This change is needed in g3 where we don't run build optimizer but we
need the code to be annotated for the closure compiler.
Additionally this change allows for simplification of CLI and build optimizer as they
will no longer need to rewrite the generated code (there are still other places where
a build optimizer rewrite will be necessary so we can't remove it, we can only simplify it).

This commit causes imports added by ngtsc's `ImportManager` to have their
TypeScript "original node" set to the generated `ts.ImportDeclaration`
statement.
In g3, the tsickle transformer runs after the Angular transformer and post-
processes Angular's compilation output. One of its post-processing tasks is
to transform generated imports and references to imported symbols from the
commonjs module system to the g3 module system. Part of this transformation
involves recognizing modules with specific metadata and altering references
to symbols from those modules accordingly.
Normally, tsickle can rely on TypeScript's binding for an imported symbol to
find its origin module and thus the correct metadata for the symbol. However
the Angular transform generates new synthetic imports which don't have such
binding information. Angular's imports are always namespace imports of the
form:
```
import * as qualifier 'module/specifier';
```
References to such an import are then of the form `qualifier.SymbolName`.
To process such imports properly, tsickle needs to be able to associate the
reference to `qualifier` in the expression `qualifer.SymbolName` with the
`ts.ImportDeclaration` statement that defines it. It expects to do this by
looking at the `ts.getOriginalNode()` for the `qualifier` reference, which
should be the `ts.ImportDeclaration`. This commit changes ngtsc's import
generation mechanism to set the original node on `qualifier` identifiers
according to this expectation.
This commit is not tested in the direct compiler tests, since:
1) there is no observable behavior externally from setting the original node
2) we don't have tests that intercept transformer operations (which could be
used to directly assert against the AST nodes)
3) tsickle's published version does not (yet) contain the g3-specific
transformations which rely on the original node and would thus allow the
behavior to be observed.
Instead, we rely on the g3 testing suite to validate the correctness of this
fix. Breaking this functionality would cause g3 compilation errors for
targets, since tsickle would be unable to transform imports correctly.

Because the query now has `flags` which specify the mode, the static query
instruction can now be remove. It is simply normal query with `static` flag.

Prior to this change, the `setClassMetadata` call would be invoked
inside of an IIFE that was marked as pure. This allows the call to be
tree-shaken away in production builds, as the `setClassMetadata` call
is only present to make the original class metadata available to the
testing infrastructure. The pure marker is problematic, though, as the
`setClassMetadata` call does in fact have the side-effect of assigning
the metadata into class properties. This has worked under the assumption
that only build optimization tools perform tree-shaking, however modern
bundlers are also able to elide calls that have been marked pure so this
assumption does no longer hold. Instead, an `ngDevMode` guard is used
which still allows the call to be elided but only by tooling that is
configured to consider `ngDevMode` as constant `false` value.

Add a TaggedTemplateExpr to represent tagged template literals in
Angular's syntax tree (more specifically Expression in output_ast.ts).
Also update classes that implement ExpressionVisitor to add support for
tagged template literals in different contexts, such as JIT compilation
and conversion to JS.
Partial support for tagged template literals had already been
implemented to support the $localize tag used by Angular's i18n
framework. Where applicable, this code was refactored to support
arbitrary tags, although completely replacing the i18n-specific support
for the $localize tag with the new generic support for tagged template
literals may not be completely trivial, and is left as future work.

ngtsc has a robust suite of testing utilities, designed for in-memory
testing of a TypeScript compiler. Previously these utilities lived in the
`test` directory for the compiler-cli package.
This commit moves those utilities to an `ngtsc/testing` package, enabling
them to be depended on separately and opening the door for using them from
the upcoming language server testing infrastructure.
As part of this refactoring, the `fake_core` package (a lightweight API
replacement for @angular/core) is expanded to include functionality needed
for Language Service test use cases.

This commit refactors the `ExpressionTranslatorVisitor` so that it
is not tied directly to the TypeScript AST. Instead it uses generic
`TExpression` and `TStatement` types that are then converted
to concrete types by the `TypeScriptAstFactory`.
This paves the way for a `BabelAstFactory` that can be used to
generate Babel AST nodes instead of TypeScript, which will be
part of the new linker tool.

Rename the `package` property to `packagePath` on the `EntryPoint`
interface. This makes it more clear that the `packagePath` property
holds the absolute path to the containing package (similar to how `path`
holds the path to the entry-point). This will also align with the
`packageName` property that will be added in a subsequent commit.
This commit also re-orders the `EntryPoint` properties to group related
properties together and to match the order of properties on instances
with that on the interface.

Previously when rendering flattened source-maps, it was assumed that no
mapping would come from a line that is outside the lines of the actual
source content. It turns out this is not a valid assumption.
Now the code that renders flattened source-maps will handle such
mappings, with the additional benefit that the rendered source-map
will only contain mapping lines up to the last mapping, rather than a
mapping line for every content line.

The library used by ngcc to update the source files (MagicString) is able
to generate a source-map but it is not able to account for any previous
source-map that the input text is already associated with.
There have been various attempts to fix this but none have been very
successful, since it is not a trivial problem to solve.
This commit contains a novel approach that is able to load up a tree of
source-files connected by source-maps and flatten them down into a single
source-map that maps directly from the final generated file to the original
sources referenced by the intermediate source-maps.

Previously individual properties of the src bundle program were
passed to the reflection host constructors. But going forward,
more properties will be required. To prevent the signature getting
continually larger and more unwieldy, this change just passes the

This commit transforms the setClassMetadata calls generated by ngtsc from:
```typescript
/*@__PURE__*/ setClassMetadata(...);
```
to:
```typescript
/*@__PURE__*/ (function() {
setClassMetadata(...);
})();
```
Without the IIFE, terser won't remove these function calls because the
function calls have arguments that themselves are function calls or other
impure expressions. In order to make the whole block be DCE-ed by terser,
we wrap it into IIFE and mark the IIFE as pure.
It should be noted that this change doesn't have any impact on CLI* with
build-optimizer, which removes the whole setClassMetadata block within
the webpack loader, so terser or webpack itself don't get to see it at
all. This is done to prevent cross-chunk retention issues caused by
webpack's internal module registry.
* actually we do expect a short-term size regression while
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/16228
is merged and released in the next rc of the CLI. But long term this
change does nothing to CLI + build-optimizer configuration and is done
primarly to correct the seemingly correct but non-function PURE annotation
that builds not using build-optimizer could rely on.

Previously, ngcc's `Renderer` would add some constants in the processed
files which were emitted as ES2015 code (e.g. `const` declarations).
This would result in invalid ES5 generated code that would break when
run on browsers that do not support the emitted format.
This commit fixes it by adding a `printStatement()` method to
`RenderingFormatter`, which can convert statements to JavaScript code in
a suitable format for the corresponding `RenderingFormatter`.
Additionally, the `translateExpression()` and `translateStatement()`
ngtsc helper methods are augmented to accept an extra hint to know
whether the code needs to be translated to ES5 format or not.

While processing class metadata, ngtsc generates a `setClassMetadata()`
call which (among other things) contains info about property decorators.
Previously, processing getter/setter pairs with some of ngcc's
`ReflectionHost`s resulted in multiple metadata entries for the same
property, which resulted in duplicate object keys, which in turn causes
an error in ES5 strict mode.
This commit fixes it by ensuring that there are no duplicate property
names in the `setClassMetadata()` calls.
In addition, `generateSetClassMetadataCall()` is updated to treat
`ClassMember#decorators: []` the same as `ClassMember.decorators: null`
(i.e. omitting the `ClassMember` from the generated `setClassMetadata()`
call). Alternatively, ngcc's `ReflectionHost`s could be updated to do
this transformation (`decorators: []` --> `decorators: null`) when
reflecting on class members, but this would require changes in many
places and be less future-proof.
For example, given a class such as:
```ts
class Foo {
@Input() get bar() { return 'bar'; }
set bar(value: any) {}
}
```
...previously the generated `setClassMetadata()` call would look like:
```ts
ɵsetClassMetadata(..., {
bar: [{type: Input}],
bar: [],
});
```
The same class will now result in a call like:
```ts
ɵsetClassMetadata(..., {
bar: [{type: Input}],
});
```
