Adds the ability to generate the function that replaces the component's metadata during HMR. The HMR update module is a function that is loaded dynamically and as such it has some special considerations:
* It isn't bundled, because doing so will result in multiple version of core.
* Since it isn't bundled, all dependencies have to be passed in as parameters. These changes include some special logic to determine and output those dependencies.
* While HMR is enabled, we have to disable the functionality that generates dynamic imports and drop the dependencies inside `@defer` blocks, because we need to retain the ability to refer to them in case they're needed inside the HMR update function.
* The function is returned by the `NgCompiler` as a string for the CLI's sake.

warning will be shown for each import which is effectively each component

We're using `path.relative` to compute a relative path between a `SourceFile` and the one of the `rootDirs`. The problem is that the `rootDirs` get passed through `getCanonicalFileName` which lowercases the path in some platforms, while `SourceFile.fileName` is always case-insensitive. This yields a path outside of the project which we were ignoring.
This change passes the `SourceFile.fileName` before passing it through `path.relative` to ensure that we get a valid result.

Currently we don't defer any symbols that have references outside of the `import` statement and the `imports` array. This is a bit too aggressive, because it's possible that the symbol is only used for types (e.g. `viewChild<SomeCmp>('ref')`) which will be stripped when emitting to JS.
These changes expand the logic so that references inside type nodes aren't considered.
**Note:** one special case is when the symbol used in constructor-based DI (e.g. `constructor(someCmp: SomeCmp)`, because these constructors will be compiled to `directiveInject` calls. We don't need to worry about them, because the compiler introduces an addition `import * as i1 from './some-cmp';` import that it uses to refer to the symbol.

Some apps follow a pattern where they have an array of common declarations which is imported in most standalone components, but only some of the declarations are used. Such cases will currently raise the unused imports diagnostic but can be hard to fix, because it would require either removing declarations from the common array which can break other components, or copying only the necessary declarations from the array. Since neither of these solutions is great, this commit tweaks the logic for the diagnostic so that unused imports coming from _exported_ arrays are not reported (either from the same file or another one).

Currently when compiling code with the Angular compiler, all classes
with Angular decorators are compiled with AOT. This includes type
checking, scope collection etc.
This may not be desirable for all components, e.g. dynamic components,
or test components w/ `TestBed.configureTestingModule` (if compiled with ngtsc).
Those components can opt out of AOT on a per component-basis via `jit:
true`. This is helpful as it allows incremental migrations/refactorings
to AOT. Whether we want to keep this capability long-term is something
to be discussed separately.
For now though, we should fix that components compiled with `jit: true`
actually work as expected. Currently this **not the case** as soon as
the new initializer APIs are used— as those do no longer declare class
metadata with decorators.

When an `@if` expression has an alias, only the type of the alias is
currently narrowed. So for example, suppose `value` is `string|undefined`:
```
@if (value; as alias) {
{{ value.length }} <!-- error, value may be undefined -->
{{ alias.length }} <!-- no error, alias is narrowed -->
}
```
This is especially noticeable when the expression contains guards which are
preconditions for the aliased expression:
```
@if (a && b; as alias) {...}
```
In this case, `a` would not be narrowed within the body, even though the
`@if` condition forces it to be truthy. This is a bug.
The reason is that aliased expressions were previously type-checked as:
```
var alias = a && b;
if (alias) {
// nothing other than alias is narrowed
...
}
```
One option considered was to emit `const alias` instead of `var alias`.
TypeScript _does_ trace `const` expressions and narrow their individual
components when the overall expression is guarded:
```
const alias = a && b;
if (alias) {
// a, b are also narrowed
}
```
However, this narrowing has different semantics than if `a && b` appeared
directly in the guard expression. For example, object properties aren't
narrowed with this approach, so component properties (which are referenced
as e.g. `this.a`) would not be narrowed.
Instead, we amend the guard expression to include both the expression _and_ the
alias variable, enforcing that both are narrowed.
```
var alias = a && b;
if ((a && b) && alias) {
// a, b, and alias all narrowed correctly.
}
```
This form ensures all conditions within the guard expression get narrowed
while also narrowing the alias variable type.

Currently we add global extra imports to all the files in the compilation unit. However not all the files need extra imports. For example non-Angular files definitely do not need such extra imports, and in some cases these extra imports causes problems as the file is meant to be run the Node but it has Angular dependencies which are not compatible with Node. This change tries to limit extra import generation to a subset of files. Wit hthis change we create extra imports only for the files that contain at least one component whose NgModule is in a different file. This is because all other files do not need extra imports since they are either not Angular files or they already have all the imports that the components need.

Two-way bindings are meant to represent a property binding to an input and an event binding to an output, e.g. `[(ngModel)]="foo"` represents `[ngModel]="foo" (ngModelChange)="foo = $event"`. Previously due to a quirk in the template parser, we accidentally supported unassignable expressions in two-way bindings.
In #54154 the quirk was fixed, but we kept support or some common expression because of internal usages. Now the internal usages have been cleaned up so the backwards-compatibility code can be deleted.

This commit adds support for extracting initializer API functions.
Initialixer API functions are functions conceptually that can are
intended to be used as class member initializers.
Angular started introducing a few of these for the new signal
APIs, like `input`, `model` or signal-based queries.
These APIs are currently confusingly represented in the API docs because
the API extraction:
- does not properly account for call signatures of interfaces
- does not expose information about sub-property objects and call
signatures (e.g. `input.required`)
- the docs rendering syntax highlighting is too bloated and confusing
with all types being included.
This commit adds support for initializer API functions, namely two
variants:
- interface-based initializer APIs. e.g. `export const input:
InputFunction`- which is a pattern for `input` and `input.required`.
- function-based simpler initializer APIs with overloads. e.g.
`contentChildren` has many signatures but doesn't need to be an
interface as there are no sub-property call signatures.

Builds on top of the previous changes to add support for deferred blocks during partial compilation. To do this, the following changes had to be made:
* The metadata passed into `ɵɵngDeclareComponent` has an additional field called `deferBlockDependencies` which has an array of the dependency loading functions for each defer block in the template. During linking, the dependency functions are loaded by matching their template index to the index in the `deferBlockDependencies` array.
* There's a new `ɵɵngDeclareClassMetadataAsync` function that is created for components that have deferred dependencies. It gets transpiled to `setClassMetadataAsync` and works in the same way by capturing a dependency loading function and setting the metadata after the dependencies are resolved. It also has some extra fields for capturing the version which are standard in linker-generated code.
* Deferred import statements are now stripped in partial compilation mode, similar to full compilation.

This commit updates the logic for preserving file overview comments
to be more reliable and less dependent on previous transforms.
Previously, with the old import manager, we had a utility called
`addImport` that always separated import statements and non-import
statements. This meant that the non-emitted statement from Tsickle
for the synthetic file-overview comments no longer lived at the
beginning of the file.
`addImports` tried to overcome this by adding another new non-emitted
statement *before* all imports. This then was later used by the
transform (or was assumed!) to attach the synthetic file overview
comments if the original tsickle AST Node is no longer at the top.
This logic can be improved, because the import manager shouldn't need to
bother about this fileoverview non-emitted statement, and the logic for
re-attaching the fileoverview comment should be local. This commit fixes
this and makes it a local transform.
