This commit updates the standalone components guide on AIO to showcase the
new `provideRouter` API. Previously the guide demonstrated configuring the
router via `importProvidersFrom(RouterModule.forRoot(...))`. A new section
was added to ensure `importProvidersFrom` was still shown in an example.

In v14, we've introduced core concepts to allow Components, Directives and Pipes to configure their dependencies
without the need to use NgModules and without the need to be declared in an NgModule. The concepts and initial
set of APIs were marked as "developer preview" to allow developers to use these APIs and share the feedback.
Since v14, we've been reviewing the entire API surface of the framework and either updating existing APIs to support standalone or creating new APIs that allowed to use Router, HttpClient and other abstractions without NgMod
ules.
Based on the mentioned work to review and stabilize APIs and also based on the positive feedback from the commun
ity, we are happy to announce that the Standalone APIs are promoted to stable!
This commit updates vast majority of standalone-related APIs to drop the `@developerPreview` label, which effect
ively documents then as stable.
Two APIs that retained the `@developerPreview` annotations are:
- withRequestsMadeViaParent (from `@angular/common/http`)
- renderApplication (from `@angular/platform-server`)
We plan to collect some additional feedback for the mentioned APIs and drop the `@developerPreview` annotation b
efore the next major release.

When using `loadChildren` or `loadComponent`, a common pattern is to pass
a function that returns a `Promise` from a dynamic import:
```typescript
{
path: 'lazy',
loadComponent: () => import('./lazy-file').then(m => m.LazyCmp),
}
```
The `.then` part of the expression selects the particular exported
component symbol from the dynamically imported ES module.
ES modules can have a "default export", created with the `export default`
modifier:
```typescript
@Component({...})
export default class LazyCmp { ... }
```
This default export is made available to dynamic imports under the well-
known key of `'default'`, per the ES module spec:
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#table-export-forms-mapping-to-exportentry-records
This commit adds a feature to the router to automatically dereference such
default exports. With this logic, when `export default` is used, a `.then`
operation to select the particular exported symbol is no longer required:
```typescript
{
path: 'lazy',
loadComponent: () => import('./lazy-file'),
}
```
The above `loadComponent` operation will automatically use the `default`
export of the `lazy-file` ES module.
This functionality works for `loadChildren` as well.

This commit updates the location of the Image Directive guide link in the left navigation menu. Now the link is located under the Feature Preview section.
Also, this commit updates the Image Directive guides to add a highlighted message that the directive is in the developer preview mode.
