NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is a multi injection token, users can and
should expect more than one ControlValueAccessor to be
available (and this is how it is used in @angular/forms).
This is now reflected in the definition of the injection token
by typing it as an array of ControlValueAccessor. The motivating
reason is that using the programmatic Injector api will now
type Injector#get correspondingly.
fixes#29351
BREAKING CHANGES
NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is now typed as a readonly array rather than
a mutable scalar. It is used as a multi injection token and as
such it should always be expected that more than one accessor
may be returned.

This commit ensures that the `updateValueAndValidity` method takes the
`asyncValidator` into consideration to emit on the `statusChanges` observables.
This is necessary so that any subsequent changes are emitted properly to any
subscribers.
Closes#20424Closes#14542
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously if FormControl, FormGroup and FormArray class instances had async validators
defined at initialization time, the status change event was not emitted once async validator
completed. After this change the status event is emitted into the `statusChanges` observable.
If your code relies on the old behavior, you can filter/ignore this additional status change
event.

Prior to this commit, a lot of internal-only class properties and methods (such as `ngOnChanges`)
of the Forms package directives were exposed on angular.io website. These fields are not expected
to be called externally (they are used/invoked by framework only), since they are part of internal
implementations of the following interfaces:
* Angular lifecycle hook interfaces
* ControlValueAccessor interface
* Validator interface
Having these internal-only fields in docs creates unnecessary noise on directive detail pages.
This commit adds the `@nodoc` annotation to these properties and methods to keep fields in the
golden files, but hide them in docs.

This commit adds a guard before throwing any forms errors. This will tree-shake
error messages which cannot be minified. It should also help to reduce the
bundle size of the `forms` package in production by ~20%.

This commit performs minor refactoring in Forms package to get rid of duplicate functions.
It looks like the functions were duplicated due to a slightly different type signatures, but
their logic is completely identical. The logic in retained functions remains the same and now
these function also accept a generic type to achieve the same level of type safety.

A util file is added to forms test package:
- it exposes simpleAsyncValidator, asyncValidator and asyncValidatorReturningObservable validators
- it refactors simpleAsyncValidator and asyncValidator to use common promise creation code
- it exposes currentStateOf allowing to get the validation state of a list of AbstractControl
Closes#37831
PR Close#38020
This commit refactors the way we store validators in AbstractControl-based classes:
in addition to the combined validators function that we have, we also store the original list of validators.
This is needed to have an ability to clean them up later at destroy time (currently it's problematic since
they are combined in a single function).
The change preserves backwards compatibility by making sure public APIs stay the same.
The only public API update is the change to the `AbstractControl` class constructor to extend the set
of possible types that it can accept and process (which should not be breaking).

Previously, `registerOnChange` used `hasOwnProperty` to identify if the
property is supported. However, this does not work as the `selectedOptions`
property is an inherited property. This commit fixes this by verifying
the property on the prototype instead.

The method was previously looping through all controls, even after finding at least one that
satisfies the provided condition. This can be a bottleneck with large forms. The new version
of the method returns as soon as a single control which conforms to the condition is found.

Use an explicit type guard when checking if a given object is of type AbstractControlOptions,
instead of a simple function returning a boolean value. This allows us to remove manual type
casting when using this function, relying instead on TypeScript to infer correct types.

Remove `looseIdentical` implementation and instead use the ES2015 `Object.is` in its place.
They behave exactly the same way except for `+0`/`-0`.
`looseIdentical(+0, -0)` => `true`
`Object.is(+0, -0)` => `false`
Other than the difference noted above, this is not be a breaking change because:
1. `looseIdentical` is a private API
2. ES2015 is listed as a mandatory polyfill in the [browser support
guide](https://angular.io/guide/browser-support#mandatory-polyfills)
3. Also note that `Ivy` already uses `Object.is` in `bindingUpdated`.

Tslib version is bound to the TypeScript version used to compile the library. Thus, we shouldn't list `tslib` as a `peerDependencies`. This is because, a user can install libraries which have been compiled with older versions of TypeScript and thus require multiple `tslib` versions to be installed.

Prior to this commit, number input fields would to fire valueChanges twice: once for `input` events when typing and second for the `change` event when the field lost focus (both events happen at once when using the increment and decrement buttons on the number field).
Fixes#12540
BREAKING CHANGE: Number inputs no longer listen to the `change` event.
* Tests which trigger `change` events need to be updated to trigger `input` events instead.
* The `change` event was in place to support IE9, as we found that `input` events were not fired with backspace or cut actions. If you need to maintain IE9 support, you will need to add a change event listener to number inputs and call the `onChange` method of `NumberValueAccessor` manually.
* Lastly, old versions of WebDriver would synthetically trigger the `change` event on `WebElement.clear` and `WebElement.sendKeys`. If you are using an old version of WebDriver, you may need to update tests to ensure `input` events are triggered. For example, you could use `element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a"), Keys.BACK_SPACE);` in place of `element.clear()`.

Previously, the behavior of the `minLength` and `maxLength` validators
caused confusion, as they appeared to work with numeric values but
did not in fact produce consistent results. This commit fixes the issue
by skipping validation altogether when a numeric value is used.
BREAKING CHANGES:
* The `minLength` and `maxLength` validators now verify that a value has
numeric `length` property and invoke validation only if that's the case.
Previously, falsey values without the length property (such as `0` or
`false` values) were triggering validation errors. If your code relies on
the old behavior, you can include other validators such as [min][1] or
[requiredTrue][2] to the list of validators for a particular field.
