This commit converts `HttpClientModule` to use `provideHttpClient()`
internally, with a particular configuration of features. Other NgModules
related to configuring `HttpClient` are also converted to use the providers
directly from various features, to ensure consistency of behavior.

@angular/common/http has XSRF protection which is enabled by default and is
implemented as an interceptor. Previously, this protection could be disabled
with an API which would internally provide a `NoopInterceptor` in place of
the standard XSRF interceptor.
To achieve the same capability of disabling the XSRF interceptor after it is
converted to the functional style, an InjectionToken is added in this commit
which disables the XSRF interceptor. This way, the interceptor can be
disabled in place without needing to override it via DI (which is difficult
for functional interceptors).
PR Close#47502
This commit introduces a new DI token for the set of functional
interceptors. This is a no-op in terms of behavior currently, but will allow
for the deduplication of the bridge interceptor which connects legacy class-
based interceptors to the functional interceptor chain.
PR Close#47502
This commit introduces new types and symbols related to functional HTTP
interceptors - interceptors which are plain functions with access to DI via
the `inject()` operation.
This new form of interceptor is not exposed publically in this commit, but
the legacy class-based interceptors are refactored to be built on top of the
new API internally.
PR Close#47502
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
