Ivy definitions in .d.ts files often reference the type of a class.
Sometimes, those classes have generic type parameters. When this is
the case, ngtsc needs to emit generic type parameters in the .d.ts
files (usually by passing 'any').

Since non-flat module formats (esm2015, esm5) have different structure
than their flat counterparts (and since we are operating on JS files
inside `node_modules/`, we need to configure TS to include deeply nested
JS files (by specifying a sufficiently high `maxNodeModuleJsDepth`).
Remains to be determined if this has any (noticeable) performance
implications.

In some code formats (e.g. ES5) methods can actually be function
expressions. For example:
```js
function MyClass() {}
// this static method is declared as a function expression
MyClass.staticMethod = function() { ... };
```

ngtsc's static resolver can evaluate function calls where parameters
have default values. In TypeScript code these default values live on the
function definition, but in ES5 code the default values are represented
by statements in the function body.
A new ReflectionHost method getDefinitionOfFunction() abstracts over
this difference, and allows the static reflector to more accurately
evaluate ES5 code.

A small bug caused base factory variable statements for @Component to
not be emitted properly. At the same time as this is fixed, those
statements are now emitted as const.
