refactor(compiler): remove Viewport directives, use Decorator instead

BREAKING_CHANGE:
- The special type of `Viewport` directives is removed
  in favor of a more general `Decorator` directive
- `ViewContainerRef` now no more has a default `ProtoViewRef`
  but requires an explicit one when creating views.

Closes #1536

* Decorators can also control the instantiation, destruction, and positioning of inline template elements:
*
* A directive uses a {@link ViewContainerRef} to instantiate, insert, move, and destroy views at runtime.
* The {@link ViewContainerRef} is created as a result of `<template>` element, and represents a location in the current view

*
* Views are always created as children of the current {@link View}, and as siblings of the `<template>` element. Thus a
* directive in a child view cannot inject the directive that created it.
*
* Since directives that create views via ViewContainers are common in Angular, and using the full `<template>` element syntax is wordy, Angular
* also supports a shorthand notation: `<li *foo="bar">` and `<li template="foo: bar">` are equivalent.

* <ul>
* <li *foo="bar" title="text"></li>

* ```

* <template [foo]="bar">
* <li title="text"></li>

* </ul>
* ```
*
* Notice that although the shorthand places `*foo="bar"` within the `<li>` element, the binding for the directive
* controller is correctly instantiated on the `<template>` element rather than the `<li>` element.

* ## Example
*
* Let's suppose we want to implement the `unless` behavior, to conditionally include a template.

* Here is a simple directive that triggers on an `unless` selector:

* ```
* @Directive({

* this.prevCondition = false;
* this.viewContainer.create(this.protoViewRef);

* Note also that although the `<li></li>` template still exists inside the `<template></template>`, the instantiated
