This commit adds end-to-end support for pipes in the template pipeline. This
support works across multiple steps:
1. Pipes are first ingested as `ir.PipeBindingExpr`s during the ingest step.
2. A "pipe creation" phase inserts operations to instantiate each required
pipe, based on the presence of those `ir.PipeBindingExpr`s.
3. A "variadic pipe" phase transforms pipes with more than 4 arguments into
variadic pipe bindings, which use a literal array argument. This literal
array will be later memoized into a pure function invocation.
4. A special phase (`phaseAlignPipeVariadicVarOffset`) reconciles a
difference in variable slot assignment logic between the template pipeline
and the `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`, to ensure that the pipeline output can
pass the existing tests. This phase should not affect runtime semantics and
can be dropped once matching output is no longer necessary.
5. Reification emits pipe instructions based on the argument count.

This commit adds support for generating pure functions in the output

According to the HTML specification most attributes are defined as strings, however some can be interpreted as different types like booleans or numbers. [In the HTML standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attributes), boolean attributes are considered `true` if they are present on a DOM node and `false` if they are omitted. Common examples of boolean attributes are `disabled` on interactive elements like `<button>` or `checked` on `<input type="checkbox">`. Another example of an attribute that is defined as a string, but interpreted as a different type is the `value` attribute of `<input type="number">` which logs a warning and ignores the value if it can't be parsed as a number.
Historically, authoring Angular inputs that match the native behavior in a type-safe way has been difficult for developers, because Angular interprets all static attributes as strings. While some recent TypeScript versions made this easier by allowing setters and getters to have different types, supporting this pattern still requires a lot of boilerplate and additional properties to be declared. For example, currently developers have to write something like this to have a `disabled` input that behaves like the native one:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input()
get disabled() {
return this._disabled;
}
set disabled(value: any) {
this._disabled = typeof value === 'boolean' ? value : (value != null && value !== 'false');
}
private _disabled = false;
}
```
This feature aims to address the issue by introducing a `transform` property on inputs. If an input has a `transform` function, any values set through the template will be passed through the function before being assigned to the directive instance. The example from above can be rewritten to the following:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input, booleanAttribute} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input({transform: booleanAttribute}) disabled: boolean = false;
}
```
These changes also add the `booleanAttribute` and `numberAttribute` utilities to `@angular/core` since they're common enough to be useful for most projects.
Fixes#8968.
Fixes#14761.
PR Close#50420
Adds the necessary compiler changes to support input transform functions. The compiler output has changed in the following ways:
### Directive handler
The directive handler now extracts a reference to the input transform function and it resolves the type of its first parameter. It also asserts that the type can be referenced in the compiled output and that it doesn't clash with any pre-existing `ngAcceptInputType_` members.
### .d.ts
In the generated declaration files the compiler now inserts an `ngAcceptInputType_` member for each input with a `transform` function. The member's type corresponds to the type of the first parameter of the function, e.g.
```typescript
// foo.directive.ts
@Directive()
export class Foo {
@Input({transform: (incomingValue: string) => parseInt(incomingValue)}) value: number;
}
// foo.directive.d.ts
export class Foo {
value: number;
static ngAcceptInputType_value: string;
}
```
### Type check block
If an input has `transform` function, the TCB will use the type of its first parameter for the setter type. This uses the same infrastructure as the `ngAcceptInputType_` members.
### Directive declaration
The generated runtime directive declaration call now includes the `transform` function in the `inputs` map, if the input is being transformed. The function will be picked up by the runtime in the next commit to do the actual transformation.
```typescript
// foo.directive.ts
@Directive()
export class Foo {
@Input({transform: (incomingValue: string) => parseInt(incomingValue)}) value: number;
}
// foo.directive.js
export class Foo {
ɵdir = ɵɵdefineDirective({
inputs: {
value: ['value', 'value', incomingValue => parseInt(incomingValue)]
}
});
}
```

Adds a new AST for a `TransplantedType` in the compiler which will be used for some upcoming work. A transplanted type is a type node that is defined in one place in the app, but needs to be copied to a different one (e.g. the generated .d.ts). These changes also include updates to the type translator that will rewrite any type references within the type to point to the new context file.

It's possible to have chains of statements, exclusively in event listeners. A listener with a chain looks like the following:
```
(click)="onClick($event); 1 == 1"
```
We handle this by generating multiple statements, one for each expression in the chain, and only making the final statement the return statement. We place this logic in code specific to listeners, since they are the only place this construct can appear.

This commit adds a variable optimization pass to the template pipeline. The
pipeline generates all variables which might be referenced within a given
view's template function, regardless of whether other operations will read
those values.
The variable optimizer post-processes the IR and performs several variable-
related optimizations:
* It transforms variable declarations to side effectful expressions when the
variable is not used, but its initializer has global effects which other
operations rely upon.
* It removes variable declarations if those variables are not referenced and
either they do not have global effects, or nothing relies on them.
* It inlines variable declarations when those variables are only used once
and the inlining is semantically safe.

PR Close#49797
The `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` uses the same name for the same semantic
variables across different views declared in a component. This commit
refactors the template pipeline's concept of `ir.SemanticVariable` to share
instances across all `ViewCompilation`s. This allows the `name` of the
variable to be stored on the `ir.SemanticVariable` instance instead of on
the `ir.VariableOp` (which makes sense as variables are often named based on
the `ir.SemanticVariable` anyway).

This commit introduces `phaseReify()` which performs "reification" of IR
operations. This converts previously semantic operations (e.g. `ir.Element`)
into generated instruction calls (`element(...)`). At the end of reification,
all operations have been converted into `ir.StatementOp`s, and the IR AST should
be suitable for emitting as generated code.
Note that after reification, more transformations may still be applied. For
example, instruction chaining will be performed post-reification, since it
depends on the exact selected instructions for each operation.
