This commit deprecates the `HttpClientModule` and other related http modules. Those can be replaced by provider function only.
Angular is an opinionated framework, feature guidance will help developer choose the recommended way to enable feature (like Http requests here).
Note: This is not an indication of deprecation for `NgModule`. The deprecated module's only purpose here was to define providers. This can be done directly by the provide function pattern.
DEPRECATED: `HttpClientModule`, `HttpClientXsrfModule` and `HttpClientJsonpModule`
As mentionned, those modules can be replaced by provider function only.

This rename reflects what the function actually does. Although the intention
is still not to have two different interceptor mechanisms, that is now
communicated in the docs for the function instead of in its name.

This commit deletes a sentence from the `HttpClientJsonpModule` docs which
was accidentally copy-pasted from the docs for another symbol.

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.

This commit introduces the main components of the `provideHttpClient()`
provider API, designed in the style of `provideRouter()`. Initial features
are defined for including legacy class-based interceptors, JSONP support,
and configuring or disabling the builtin XSRF protection.
This API is an alternative to providing `HttpClient` via the
`HttpClientModule`, and is more tree-shakable and more capable than the
NgModule implementation.
Tests are included to validate the new configuration format as well as the
interoperability of the two styles of providing and configuring
`HttpClient`.
PR Close#47502
This commit switches the XSRF configuration tokens (for header name and
cookie name) to be `providedIn: 'root'`. This is a no-op change now as they
are always provided along with any usage of them via `HttpClientModule`, but
will become load-bearing as the `provideHttpClient` API will not provide
these tokens, and will rely on injecting them from either the parent context
or from these root providers.

@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).

This commit rewrites the JSONP interceptor to use the functional interceptor
style internally, while still maintaining the same public API and behavior.
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.

With this change we move `XhrFactory` to the root entrypoint of `@angular/commmon`, this is needed so that we can configure `XhrFactory` DI token at a platform level, and not add a dependency between `@angular/platform-browser` and `@angular/common/http`.
Currently, when using `HttpClientModule` in a child module on the server, `ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined` is being thrown because the child module has its own Injector and causes `XhrFactory` provider to be configured to use `BrowserXhr`.
Therefore, we should configure the `XhrFactory` at a platform level similar to other Browser specific providers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`XhrFactory` has been moved from `@angular/common/http` to `@angular/common`.
**Before**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common/http';
```
**After**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common';
```

Fixes#23023.
When a HTTP Interceptor injects HttpClient it causes a DI cycle. This fix is to use Injector to lazily inject HTTP_INTERCEPTORS while setting up the HttpHandler on the server so as to break the cycle.
PR Close#24229
Previously, an interceptor attempting to inject HttpClient directly
would receive a circular dependency error, as HttpClient was
constructed via a factory which injected the interceptor instances.
Users want to inject HttpClient into interceptors to make supporting
requests (ex: to retrieve an authentication token). Currently this is
only possible by injecting the Injector and using it to resolve
HttpClient at request time.
Either HttpClient or the user has to deal specially with the circular
dependency. This change moves that responsibility into HttpClient
itself. By utilizing a new class HttpInterceptingHandler which lazily
loads the set of interceptors at request time, it's possible to inject
HttpClient directly into interceptors as construction of HttpClient no
longer requires the interceptor chain to be constructed.
Fixes#18224.

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
