All entries of the `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic` package are now deprecated.
We now recommend using the `@angular/platform-browser` package instead.
In case a JIT application/testing environment is complaining about missing the compiler also add `import '@angular/compiler'`

As part of the Bazel toolchain migration we noticed that implicit types
generated by the TypeScript compiler sometimes end up referencing types
from other packages (i.e. cross-package imports).
These imports currently work just because the Bazel `ts_library` and
`ng_module` rules automatically inserted a `<amd-module
name="@angular/x" />` into `.d.ts` of packages. This helped TS figure
out how to import a given file. Notably this is custom logic that is not
occuring in vanilla TS or Angular compilations—so we will drop this
magic as part of the toolchain cleanup!
To improve code quality and keep the existing behavior working, we are
doing the following:
- adding a lint rule that reduces the risk of such imports breaking. The
failure scenario without the rule is that API goldens show unexpected
diffs, and types might be duplicated in a different package!
- keeping the `<amd-module` headers, but we manually insert them into
the package entry-points. This should ensure we don't regress
anywhere; while we also improved general safety around this above.
Long-term, isolated declarations or a lint rule from eslint-typescript
can make this even more robust.

Previously, `platformBrowserTesting` did not include any `platformBrowser` providers, causing an inconsistency with `platformBrowserDynamicTesting`.
This update resolves the issue by restructuring platform inheritance to ensure proper provider inclusion:
- `platformCore → platformBrowser → platformBrowserTesting`
- `platformBrowser → platformBrowserDynamic → platformBrowserDynamicTesting`
Now, `platformBrowserTesting` correctly inherits from `platformBrowser`, aligning with the expected behavior.

This commit moves `DOMTestComponentRenderer` to `@angular/platform-browser/testing`, allowing the Angular CLI to eliminate its dependency on `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic`, which would no longer be required for new projects.

Instead of relying on Microsoft's API extractor for `d.ts` bundling,
we are switching to Rollup-based `.d.ts` bundling.
This allows us to support code spliting, even for `.d.ts` files,
allowing for relative imports to be used between entry-points, without
ending up duplicating `.d.ts` definitions in two files. This would otherwise cause
problems with assignability of types.
It also nicely integrates into our existing rollup configuration, and
overall simplifies the `ng_package` rule even further!
Notably `tsup` also uses this rollup plugin, and it seems to work well.
Keep in mind that Microsoft's API extractor is pretty hard to integrate,
caused many problems in the past, and isn't capable of code splitting.
This aligns our d.ts bundling with the .mjs bundling (great alignment).

The API golden Bazel rule has changed in the shared dev-infra code. Instead
of putting golden API reports into the golden folder as per their original
location in the NPM package, golden reports are now stored based on the
package exports. This makes it more obvious how entry-points are consumable
As part of this change, since the API golden rule now consutls the NPM package
`exports` field, the `localize/tools` entry-point golden file is now generated.
Previously it wasn't generated due to it not having a secondary entry-point
`package.json` file. Such package json files should not be needed anymore
and will be gone in future APF versions.

DEPRECATED:
The `CachedResourceLoader` and `RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER` symbols were previously necessary in some cases to test AOT-compiled components with View Engine, but they are no longer needed since Ivy.
PR Close#44749
DEPRECATION:
In ViewEngine, [JIT compilation](https://angular.io/guide/glossary#jit) required special providers (like `Compiler`, `CompilerFactory`, etc) to be injected in the app and corresponding methods to be invoked. With Ivy, JIT compilation takes place implicitly if the Component, NgModule, etc have not already been [AOT compiled](https://angular.io/guide/glossary#aot). Those special providers were made available in Ivy for backwards-compatibility with ViewEngine to make the transition to Ivy smoother. Since ViewEngine is deprecated and will soon be removed, those symbols are now deprecated as well:
- `ModuleWithComponentFactories`
- `Compiler`
- `CompilerFactory`
- `JitCompilerFactory`
- `NgModuleFactory`
Important note: this deprecation doesn't affect JIT mode in Ivy (JIT remains available with Ivy).

Updates all API goldens to match with the new NPM package output
which now contains partial declaration static members. These
can serve as additional checks guarding against changes to
the public API (e.g. if a selector of a directive changes accidentally)
PR Close#43431
Moves the public api .d.ts files from tools/public_api_guard to
goldens/public-api.
Additionally, provides a README in the goldens directory and a script
assist in testing the current state of the repo against the goldens as
well as a command for accepting all changes to the goldens in a single
command.
