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).
PR Close#43710
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.
