BREAKING CHANGE:
- Angular no longer supports Node.js v18.
- Node.js versions 22.0 to 22.10 are also no longer supported.
Before upgrading to Angular v20, ensure the Node.js version is at least 20.11.1.

The server package imports from `rxjs`, but the dependency was not
specified as `peerDependency`, nor `dependency`. This surfaces as an
error in strict dependency environments, like with pnpm's symlinked node
modules structure.
This commit fixes this. It presumably doesn't fail with e.g. Yarn, or
npm because of node modules hoisting.

Removes the hard dependency between `platform-server` and `platform-browser/animations` since now the animations module will disable itself automatically.

We have removed the `esm2022` directory from the generated package, as it was unused and contributed 7.7 MB to `@angular/core`. The `ng_package` rule still passes `esm2022` to the packager to perform `analyzeFileAndEnsureNoCrossImports`.
A moment of reflection:
You've always been there, full of potential, yet never called upon. Now, we bid you farewell.

BREAKING CHANGE: Node.js v16 support has been removed and the minimum support version has been bumped to 18.13.0.
Node.js v16 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-09-11. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v16 in Angular v17. For Node.js release schedule details, please see: https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule

Using `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic` is no longer required for JIT scenarios with Ivy. Instead `@angular/compiler` should be imported instead.
This change is part of the effort to reduce the server bundles sizes, which is needed to support cloud workers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Users that are using SSR with JIT mode will now need to add `import to @angular/compiler` before bootstrapping the application.
**NOTE:** this does not effect users using the Angular CLI.

BREAKING CHANGE: Node.js v14 support has been removed
Node.js v14 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-04-30. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v14 in Angular v16. Angular v16 will continue to officially support Node.js versions v16 and v18.

This change aligns with the supported Node.js versions of the Angular CLI.

BREAKING CHANGE: Angular no longer supports Node.js versions `14.[15-19].x` and `16.[10-12].x`. Current supported versions of Node.js are `14.20.x`, `16.13.x` and `18.10.x`.

Speeds up the dev-turnaround by only bundling types when packaging. Currently
bundling occurs for all the `ng_module` targets in devmode.
This has various positive benefits:
* Avoidance of this rather slower operation in development
* Makes APF-built packages also handle types for `ts_library` targets consistently.
* Allows us to ensure APF entry-points have `d.ts` _always_ bundled (working with ESM
module resolution in TypeScript -- currently experimental)
* Allows us to remove the secondary `package.json` files from APF (maybe APF v14? - seems
low-impact). This would clean-up the APF even more and fix resolution issues (like in Vite)

Node.js v12 will become EOL on 2022-04-30. As a result, Angular CLI v14 will no longer support Node.js v12.

This commit updates the `node` engines range for all Angular
framework packages to:
* No longer support NodeJS v12 `< 12.20`. This is done because APF v13
uses package export patterns which are only supported as of v12.20.
https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_subpath_patterns.
* Allows for the latest v16 NodeJS versions. This matches with the CLI
which added NodeJS v16 support with https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/21854.
We already limit this to `>= v16.10.0` in preparation to only
supporting the LTS minors of Node v16.
BREAKING CHANGE: NodeJS versions older than `v12.20.0` are no longer
supported due to the Angular packages using the NodeJS package exports
feature with subpath patterns.

Updates the `sideeEffects` field in `package.json` files to reflect the

Adds support for TypeScript 4.4. High-level overview of the changes made in this PR:
* Bumps the various packages to `typescript@4.4.2` and `tslib@2.3.0`.
* The `useUnknownInCatchVariables` compiler option has been disabled so that we don't have to cast error objects explicitly everywhere.
* TS now passes in a third argument to the `__spreadArray` call inside child class constructors. I had to update a couple of places in the runtime and ngcc to be able to pick up the calls correctly.
* TS now generates code like `(0, foo)(arg1, arg2)` for imported function calls. I had to update a few of our tests to account for it. See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/44624.
* Our `ngtsc` test setup calls the private `matchFiles` function from TS. I had to update our usage, because a new parameter was added.
* There was one place where we were setting the readonly `hasTrailingComma` property. I updated the usage to pass in the value when constructing the object instead.
* Some browser types were updated which meant that I had to resolve some trivial type errors.
* The downlevel decorators tranform was running into an issue where the Closure synthetic comments were being emitted twice. I've worked around it by recreating the class declaration node instead of cloning it.

Switches the repository to TypeScript 4.3 and the latest
version of tslib. This involves updating the peer dependency
ranges on `typescript` for the compiler CLI and for the Bazel
package. Tests for new TypeScript features have been added to
ensure compatibility with Angular's ngtsc compiler.

Update the supported range of node versions for to be less restrictive, no longer causing
yarn or npm to fail engine's checks for future versions of node.
While this change will no longer cause yarn or npm to fail these engine's check, this does
not reflect a change in the officially supported versions of node for Angular. Angular
continues to maintain support for Active LTS and Maintenance LTS versions of node.

`@angular/platform-server` provides the foundation for rendering an
Angular app on the server. In order to achieve that, it uses a
server-side DOM implementation (currently [domino][1]).
For rendering on the server to work as closely as possible to running
the app on the browser, we need to make DOM globals (such as `Element`,
`HTMLElement`, etc.), which are normally provided by the browser,
available as globals on the server as well.
Currently, `@angular/platform-server` achieves this by extending the
`global` object with the DOM implementation provided by `domino`. This
assignment happens in the [setDomTypes()][2] function, which is
[called in a `PLATFORM_INITIALIZER`][3]. While this works in most cases,
there are some scenarios where the DOM globals are needed sooner (i.e.
before initializing the platform). See, for example, #24551 and #39950
for more details on such issues.
This commit provides a way to solve this problem by exposing a
side-effect-ful entry-point (`@angular/platform-server/init`), that
shims the `global` object with DOM globals. People will be able to
import this entry-point in their server-rendered apps before
bootstrapping the app (for example, in their `main.server.ts` file).
(See also [#39950 (comment)][4].)
In a future update, the [`universal` schematics][5] will include such an
import by default in newly generated projects.

Tslib version is bound to the TypeScript version used to compile the library. Thus, we shouldn't list `tslib` as a `peerDependencies`. This is because, a user can install libraries which have been compiled with older versions of TypeScript and thus require multiple `tslib` versions to be installed.

We can remove all of the entry point resolution configuration from the package.json

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.
The entire specification for the update workflow can be found here: 2e8b12a4ef/docs/specifications/update.md
