This commit introduces the main functionality of the type-check compiler:
generation of type check blocks. Type check blocks are blocks of TypeScript
code which can be inlined into source files, and when processed by the
TypeChecker will give information about any typing errors in template
expressions.

Template type-checking will make use of expression and statement
translation as well as the ImportManager, so this code needs to
live in a separate build target which can be depended on by both
the main ngtsc transform as well as the template type-checking
mechanism. This refactor introduces a separate build target
for that code.

Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

This commit introduces //packages/compiler-cli/src/ngtsc/typecheck as a
container for template type-checking code, and implements an initial API:
type constructor generation.
Type constructors are static methods on component/directive types with
no runtime implementation. The methods are used during compilation to
enable inference of a component or directive's generic type parameters
from the types of expressions bound to any of their @Inputs. A type
constructor looks like:
class Directive<T> {
someInput: T;
static ngTypeCtor<T>(init: Partial<Pick<Directive<T>, 'someInput'>>): Directive<T>;
}
It can be used to infer a type for T based on the input:
const _dir = Directive.ngTypeCtor({someInput: 'string'}); // Directive<T>

`TypeScript` only supports merging and extending of `compilerOptions`. This is an implementation to support extending and inheriting of `angularCompilerOptions` from multiple files.

Create getter methods `getXXXDef` for each definition which
uses `hasOwnProperty` to verify that we don't accidently read form the
parent class.

Previously, if ngtsc encountered a VariableDeclaration without an
initializer, it would assume that the variable was undefined, and
return that result.
However, for symbols exported from external modules that resolve to
.d.ts files, variable declarations are of the form:
export declare let varName: Type;
This form also lacks an initializer, but indicates the presence of an
importable symbol which can be referenced. This commit changes the
static resolver to understand variable declarations with the 'declare'
keyword and to generate references when it encounters them.

The bootstrap property of @NgModule was not previously compiled by
the compiler in AOT or JIT modes (in Ivy). This commit adds support
for bootstrap.

Closure requires @nocollapse on Ivy definition static fields in order
to not convert them to standalone constants. However tsickle, the tool
which would ordinarily be responsible for adding @nocollapse, doesn't
properly annotate fields which are added synthetically via transforms.
So this commit adds @nocollapse by applying regular expressions against
code during the final write to disk.
