Currently expressions `$event.foo()` and `this.$event.foo()`, as well as `$any(foo)` and
`this.$any(foo)`, are treated as the same expression by the compiler, because `this` is considered
the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:
1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.
These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.
Furthermore, these changes only expose the `$event` global variable inside event listeners,
whereas previously it was available everywhere.

Currently `i18n` attributes are treated the same no matter if they have data bindings or not. This
both generates more code since they have to go through the `ɵɵi18nAttributes` instruction and
prevents the translated attributes from being injected using the `@Attribute` decorator.
These changes makes it so that static translated attributes are treated in the same way as regular
static attributes and all other `i18n` attributes go through the old code path.

Previously the `ConcreteDeclaration` and `InlineDeclaration` had
different properties for the underlying node type. And the `InlineDeclaration`
did not store a value that represented its declaration.
It turns out that a natural declaration node for an inline type is the
expression. For example in UMD/CommonJS this would be the `exports.<name>`
property access node.
So this expression is now used for the `node` of `InlineDeclaration` types
and the `expression` property is dropped.
To support this the codebase has been refactored to use a new `DeclarationNode`
type which is a union of `ts.Declaration|ts.Expression` instead of `ts.Declaration`
throughout.

To verify the correctness of the linker output, we leverage the existing
compliance tests. The plan is to test the linker by running all compliance
tests using a full round trip of pre-linking and subsequently post-linking,
where the generated code should be identical to a full AOT compile.
This commit adds an additional Bazel target that runs the compliance
tests in partial mode. Follow-up work is required to implement the logic
for running the linker round trip.

With the introduction of incremental type checking in #36211, an
intermediate `ts.Program` for type checking is only created if there are
any templates to check. This rendered some tests ineffective at avoiding
regressions, as the intermediate `ts.Program` was required for the tests
to fail if the scenario under test would not be accounted for. This
commit adds a single component to these tests, to ensure the
intermediate `ts.Program` is in fact created.

Prior to this fix, incremental rebuilds could fail to type check due to
missing ambient types from auto-discovered declaration files in @types
directories, or type roots in general. This was caused by the
intermediary `ts.Program` that is created for template type checking,
for which a `ts.CompilerHost` was used which did not implement the
optional `directoryExists` methods. As a result, auto-discovery of types
would not be working correctly, and this would retain into the
`ts.Program` that would be created for an incremental rebuild.
This commit fixes the issue by forcing the custom `ts.CompilerHost` used
for type checking to properly delegate into the original
`ts.CompilerHost`, even for optional methods. This is accomplished using
a base class `DelegatingCompilerHost` which is typed in such a way that
newly introduced `ts.CompilerHost` methods must be accounted for.

Prior to this change, each invocation of `loadStandardTestFiles` would
load the necessary files from disk. This function is typically called
at the top-level of a test module in order to share the result across
tests. The `//packages/compiler-cli/test/ngtsc` target has 8 modules
where this call occurs, each loading their own copy of
`node_modules/typescript` which is ~60MB in size, so the memory overhead
used to be significant. This commit loads the individual packages into
a standalone `Folder` and mounts this folder into the filesystem of
standard test files, such that all file contents are no longer

Some compiler tests take a long time to run, even using multiple
executors. A profiling session revealed that most time is spent in
parsing source files, especially the default libraries are expensive to
parse.
The default library files are constant across all tests, so this commit
introduces a shared cache of parsed source files of the default
libraries. This achieves a significant improvement for several targets
on my machine:
//packages/compiler-cli/test/compliance: from 23s to 5s.
//packages/compiler-cli/test/ngtsc: from 115s to 11s.
Note that the number of shards for the compliance tests has been halved,
as the extra shards no longer provide any speedup.

In Ivy, template type-checking has 3 modes: basic, full, and strict. The
primary difference between basic and full modes is that basic mode only
checks the top-level template, whereas full mode descends into nested
templates (embedded views like ngIfs and ngFors). Ivy applies this approach
to all of its template type-checking, including the DOM schema checks which
validate whether an element is a valid component/directive or not.
View Engine has both the basic and the full mode, with the same distinction.
However in View Engine, DOM schema checks happen for the full template even
in the basic mode.
Ivy's behavior here is technically a "fix" as it does not make sense for
some checks to apply to the full template and others only to the top-level
view. However, since g3 relies exclusively on the basic mode of checking and
developers there are used to DOM checks applying throughout their template,
this commit re-enables the nested schema checks even in basic mode only in
g3. This is done by enabling the checks only when Closure Compiler
annotations are requested.
Outside of g3, it's recommended that applications use at least the full mode
of checking (controlled by the `fullTemplateTypeCheck` flag), and ideally
the strict mode (`strictTemplates`).

Common AST formats such as TS and Babel do not use a separate
node for comments, but instead attach comments to other AST nodes.
Previously this was worked around in TS by creating a `NotEmittedStatement`
AST node to attach the comment to. But Babel does not have this facility,
so it will not be a viable approach for the linker.
This commit refactors the output AST, to remove the `CommentStmt` and
`JSDocCommentStmt` nodes. Instead statements have a collection of
`leadingComments` that are rendered/attached to the final AST nodes
when being translated or printed.

The type-to-value conversion could previously crash if a symbol was
resolved that does not have any declarations, e.g. because it's imported
from a missing module. This would typically result in a semantic
TypeScript diagnostic and halt further compilation, therefore not
reaching the type-to-value conversion logic. In Bazel however, it turns
out that Angular semantic diagnostics are requested even if there are
semantic TypeScript errors in the program, so it would then reach the
type-to-value conversation and crash.
This commit fixes the unsafe access and adds a test that ignores the
TypeScript semantic error, effectively replicating the situation as
experienced under Bazel.

Now the i18n AST nodes and related output AST nodes include source-span

Previously, the compiler was not able to display template parsing errors as
true `ts.Diagnostic`s that point inside the template. Instead, it would
throw an actual `Error`, and "crash" with a stack trace containing the
template errors.
Not only is this a poor user experience, but it causes the Language Service
to also crash as the user is editing a template (in actuality the LS has to
work around this bug).
With this commit, such parsing errors are converted to true template
diagnostics with appropriate span information to be displayed contextually
along with all other diagnostics. This majorly improves the user experience
and unblocks the Language Service from having to deal with the compiler
"crashing" to report errors.

Previously, the `sourceSpan` and `startSourceSpan` were the same
object, which meant that you had the following situation:
```
element = <div>some content</div>
sourceSpan = <div>
startSourceSpan = <div>
endSourceSpan = </div>
```
This made `sourceSpan` redundant and meant that if you
wanted a span for the whole element including its content
and closing tag, it had to be computed.
Now `sourceSpan` is separated from `startSourceSpan`
resulting in:
```
element = <div>some content</div>
sourceSpan = <div>some content</div>
startSourceSpan = <div>
endSourceSpan = </div>

The HTML parser gets an element's namespace either from the tag name
(e.g. `<svg:rect>`) or from its parent element `<svg><rect></svg>`) which
breaks down when an element is inside of an SVG `foreignElement`,
because foreign elements allow nodes from a different namespace to be
inserted into an SVG.
These changes add another flag to the tag definitions which tells child
nodes whether to try to inherit their namespaces from their parents.
It also adds a definition for `foreignObject` with the new flag,
allowing elements placed inside it to infer their namespaces instead.

This commit updates the code to move generated i18n statements into the `consts` field of
ComponentDef to avoid invoking `$localize` function before component initialization (to better
support runtime translations) and also avoid problems with lazy-loading when i18n defs may not
be present in a chunk where it's referenced.
Prior to this change the i18n statements were generated at the top leve:
```
var I18N_0;
if (typeof ngI18nClosureMode !== "undefined" && ngI18nClosureMode) {
var MSG_X = goog.getMsg(“…”);
I18N_0 = MSG_X;
} else {
I18N_0 = $localize('...');
}
defineComponent({
// ...
template: function App_Template(rf, ctx) {
i0.ɵɵi18n(2, I18N_0);
}
});
```
This commit updates the logic to generate the following code instead:
```
defineComponent({
// ...
consts: function() {
var I18N_0;
if (typeof ngI18nClosureMode !== "undefined" && ngI18nClosureMode) {
var MSG_X = goog.getMsg(“…”);
I18N_0 = MSG_X;
} else {
I18N_0 = $localize('...');
}
return [
I18N_0
];
},
template: function App_Template(rf, ctx) {
i0.ɵɵi18n(2, 0);
}
});
```
Also note that i18n template instructions now refer to the `consts` array using an index
(similar to other template instructions).

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always use a
type-constructor to instantiate a directive. This type-constructor call
serves two purposes:
1. Infer any generic types for the directive instance from the inputs
that are passed in.
2. Type check the inputs that are passed into the directive's inputs.
The first purpose is only relevant when the directive actually has any
generic types and using a type-constructor for these cases inhibits
a type-check performance penalty, as a type-constructor's signature is
quite complex and needs to be generated for each directive.
This commit refactors the generated type-check blocks to only generate
a type-constructor call for directives that have generic types. Type
checking of inputs is achieved by generating individual statements for
all inputs, using assignments into the directive's fields.
Even if a type-constructor is used for type-inference of generic types
will the input checking also be achieved using the individual assignment
statements. This is done to support the rework of the language service,
which will start to extract symbol information from the type-check
blocks.
As a future optimization, it may be possible to reduce the number of
inputs passed into a type-constructor to only those inputs that
contribute the the type-inference of the generics. As this is not a
necessity at the moment this is left as follow-up work.

In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in
the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take
the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions
as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include
the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an
actual import of the module that was originally just a type-only import.
This commit lets the compiler deal with type-only imports specially, preventing
a value expression from being created.

When using the safe navigation operator in a binding expression, a temporary
variable may be used for storing the result of a side-effectful call.
For example, the following template uses a pipe and a safe property access:
```html
<app-person-view [enabled]="enabled" [firstName]="(person$ | async)?.name"></app-person-view>
```
The result of the pipe evaluation is stored in a temporary to be able to check
whether it is present. The temporary variable needs to be declared in a separate
statement and this would also cause the full expression itself to be pulled out
into a separate statement. This would compile into the following
pseudo-code instructions:
```js
var temp = null;
var firstName = (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)('firstName', firstName);
```
Notice that the pipe evaluation happens before evaluating the `enabled` binding,
such that the runtime's internal binding index would correspond with `enabled`,
not `firstName`. This introduces a problem when the pipe uses `WrappedValue` to
force a change to be detected, as the runtime would then mark the binding slot
corresponding with `enabled` as dirty, instead of `firstName`. This results
in the `enabled` binding to be updated, triggering setters and affecting how
`OnChanges` is called.
In the pseudo-code above, the intermediate `firstName` variable is not strictly
necessary---it only improved readability a bit---and emitting it inline with
the binding itself avoids the out-of-order execution of the pipe:
```js
var temp = null;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)
('firstName', (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name);
```
This commit introduces a new `BindingForm` that results in the above code to be
generated and adds compiler and acceptance tests to verify the proper behavior.
