ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
Also modified static reflector to allow writing tests in using
the .ts and using the MetadataCollector.
Also made MetadataCollector be able to use SourceFiles that have
not been bound (that is, don't have the parent property set).

This lets users continue using runtime-sideeffect Decorators if they choose,
only down-leveling the marked ones to Annotations.
Also remove the "skipTemplateCodegen" option, which is no longer needed
since Angular compiles with tsc-wrapped rather than ngc. The former doesn't
include any codegen.
The collector now collects the body of functions that return an
expression as a symbolic 'function'. The static reflector supports
expanding these functions statically to allow provider macros.
Also added support for the array spread operator in both the
collector and the static reflector.
StaticReflector provides more context on errors reported by the
collector.
The metadata collector now records the line and character of the node that
caused it to report the error.
Includes other minor fixes to error reporting and a wording change.
