Whenever an input of a directive changes, the semantic symbol should
reflect this change for the type check API. This is important because
signal inputs require special output in the type checking blocks- hence
we need to ensure that such type checking blocks are re-generated
properly.
Test verify that incremental type-checking builds work as expected now.
PR Close#53521
Whenever a signal input is captured in a type check block, we will
insert an import. This will change the import graph so that the full
TypeScript program cannot be structurally re-used.
We can fix this trivially by ensuring the import graph remains stable,
by always generating an import to e.g. `@angular/core`. This fixes the
issue nicely for type-check block files. A test verifies this.
For inline code, such as TCB inline or the type constructors inline,
this fix is not applicable because we would change user-input source files,
adding new edges that would not exist for subsequent builds- causing the
program to be not re-used completely. One idea was to rely on the
existing edge that can be assumed to exist for directive code files.
This is true technically, but in practice TS does not deduplicate
imports- so our new namespace import when referencing our symbols will
invalidate the re-use. We will address this in a follow-up. There are a
couple of options, such as working with the TS team, updating the
existing edge, or inlining our helpers as well.

Fixes that the compiler was throwing an error if an ambient type is used inside of an input `transform` function. The problem was that the reference emitter was trying to write a reference to the ambient type's source file which isn't necessary.

These changes add an option to the `extendedDiagnostics` field that allows the check from #53190 to be disabled. This is a follow-up based on a recent discussion.

Currently we generate the following TCB for a `@for` loop:
```ts
// @for (item of items; track item) {...}
for (const item of this.items) {
var _t1 = item;
// Do things with `_t1`
}
```
This is problematic if the item name is the same as a global variable (e.g. `document`), because when the TCB has references to that variable (e.g. `document.createElement`), it'll find the loop initializer instead of the global variable.
These changes fix the issue by generating the following instead:
```ts
for (const _t1 of this.items) {
// Do things with `_t1`
}
```

Fixes that all implicit variables in `@for` loops were inferred to be numbers, even though most are actually boolean.
Note that I also had to work around a weird TypeScript behavior in `tsDeclareVariable` where usually we declare variables in the following format:
```
var _t1: <type> = null!;
```
This works in most cases, but if the type is a `boolean`, TypeScript infers the variable as `never`, instead of `boolean`. I've worked around it by adding an `as boolean` to the initializer.

Prior to this change, the transform function would be referenced with a potentially

This commit fixes an issue where using literal types in the arguments of an input coercion
function could result in emitting invalid output, due to an assumption that TypeScript makes
when emitting literal types. Specifically, it takes the literal's text from its containing
source file, but this breaks when the literal type node has been transplanted into a
different source file. This issue has surfaced in the type-check code generator and is
already being addressed there, so this commit moves the relevant `TypeEmitter` class
from the `typecheck` module to the `translator` module, such that it can be reused for
emitting types in the type translator.

This commit expands docs extraction for classes and interfaces to include inherited members.

In #52110 the compiler was changed to produce `if` statements when type checking `@switch` in order to avoid a bug in the TypeScript compiler. In order to avoid duplicate diagnostics, the main `@switch` expression was ignored in each of the `@case` comparisons. This appears to have caused a regression where comparing incompatible types wasn't being reported anymore.
These changes resolve the issue by wrapping the expression in parentheses which allows the compiler to report comparison diagnostics while ignoring diagnostics in the expression itself.

A new flag added to the component's debug info to determine whether to throw runtime error (in dev mode) if component is being rendered without its NgModule. This flag is only set for non-standalone components.
PR Close#52061
Orphan component is an anti-pattern in Angular where a component is rendered while the NgModule declaring it is not installed. It is not easy to capture this scenario, specially in compile time. But it is possible to capture a special case in runtime where the component is being rendered without its NgModule even loaded into the browser. This change adds a flag in cli compiler option to enable such checking, and throwing a runtime exception if it happens. Note that such check is only done in dev mode.
Currently the check requires some generated code that is behind ngJitMode flag (i.e., call to ɵɵsetNgModuleScope), and the new flag can be set only if JIT mode is enabled (i.e., supportJitMode=true) otherwise an error will be thrown.
The orphan component is a main blocker for rolling out local compilation in g3. This option is needed for identifying and isolating such cases.

This commit updates `@defer` logic related to handling `after` and `minimum` parameters tree-shakable.

The current implementation assumes a qualified name consists of just two identifier, e.g., Foo.Bar. However it can be more nested, like Foo.Bar.Baz.XX.YY. While such nested patterns are quite uncommon and devs mostly just use two identifier here, the TS compiler seems to throw error if we make such assumption and it broke quite a lot of targets in g3 when compiled in local mode. So here we handle this nested property of qualified names.

This commit adds support for extracting function overloads. Interestingly, this worked in an earlier version when the code was extracting all statements in every source file, but the existing compiler API for extracting all exported declarations from an entry-point only returns the first function declaration in cases when there are overloads.
This also marks abstract classes as abstract, required inputs as required, and filters out Angular-private APIs.

We type check `@switch` blocks by generating identical TS `switch` statements in the TCB, however TS currently has a bug where parenthesized `switch` block expressions don't narrow their types. Since we use parenthesized expressions to wrap AST nodes for diagnostics, this will bug will affect all Angular-generated `switch` statements.
These changes work around the issue by generating `if`/`else if`/`else` statements that represent the `switch`.
Some alternatives that were considered:
1. Moving the `switch` expression to a constant - this is fairly simple to implement, but it won't fully resolve the narrowing issue since the same constant will have to be used in expressions inside the different cases.
2. Removing the outer-most parenthesis from the switch expression - this works and allows us to continue using switch statements, but because we use parenthesized expressions to map diagnostics to their template locations, I wasn't sure if it won't lead to worse template dignostics.
Fixes#52077.

We had implemented the `visitDeferredTrigger` visitor method, but it wasn't being called, because we weren't going through the `visitAll` method of the deferred block.

This adds API doc extraction for interfaces, largely using the same code paths for classes. The primary difference between classes and interfaces is that classes have member _declarations_ while interfaces have member _signatures_. This largely doesn't matter for the purposes of extraction, but the types are distinct with no common base types, so we have to do a fair amount of type unioning and aliasing.

Currently the TCB for aliased `if` blocks looks something like this:
```
// Markup: `@if (expr; as alias) { {{alias}} }
if (block.condition) {
var alias = block.condition;
"" + alias;
}
```
The problem with this approach is that the type of `alias` won't be narrowed. This is something that `NgIf` currently supports.
These changes resolve the issue by emitting the variable outside the `if` block and using the variable reference instead:
```
// Markup: `@if (expr; as alias) { {{alias}} }
var alias = block.condition;
if (alias) {
"" + alias;
}
