Ensures that all of the functions intended to be run in initializers are in an injection context. This is a stop-gap until we have a compiler diagnostic for it.

A model signal is technically an output, at runtime and conceptually.
This commit re-uses the shared output ref logic and ensures the
interfaces match.
PR Close#54650
Getting the typing for `ɵunwrapWritableSignal` just right was tricky so these changes add some tests to ensure that we don't regress.
Also reworks the type tester a bit to make it easier to find where to add new test files.

This updates some tests to use the public imports from `@angular/core` now that they are available,
and cleans up useless imports and inaccurate names.

This commit separates `InputSignal` for input signals with transforms.
The reason being that most of the time, signal inputs are not using
transforms and the generics are rather confusing.
Especially for users with inferred types displayed in their IDEs, the
input signal types are seemingly complex, even if no transform is used.
For this reason, we are introducing a new type called
`InputSignalWithTransform`. This type will be used for inputs with
transforms, while non-transform inputs just use `InputSignal`.
A notable fact is that `InputSignal` extends `InputSignalWithTransform`,
with the "identity transform". i.e. there is no transform. This allows
us to share the code for input signals. In practice, we don't expect
users to pass around `InputSignal`'s anyway.

Follow-up to #54002 that:
* Remove the `toString` implementation from the `primitives`.
* Guards the `toString` with `ngDevMode` and prints out the value.
PR Close#54079
Since signals are function, currently stringifying them reveals the implementation of the function. This can lead to confusion since it contains internal implementation details. These changes add static `toString` function to address the issue.
**Note:** it's tempting to have `toString` output the actual value of the signal, but that would encourage users not to call the function which will be problematic in the long run. That's why these changes are using a static string instead.

The new type testing infrastructure was introduced for the input-as-signals
authoring functions. This commit modifies this infrastructure to make it more
generic and support queries-as-signals.

Enables signal inputs for existing Zone based components.
This is a next step we are taking to bring signal inputs earlier to the Angular community.
The goal is to enable early access for the ecosystem to signal inputs, while we are continuing
development of full signal components as outlined in the RFC. This will allow the ecosystem
to start integrating signals more deeply, prepare for future migrations, and improves code quality
and DX for existing components (especially for OnPush).
Based on our work on full signal components, we've gathered more information and learned
new things. We've improved the API by introducing a way to intuitively declare required inputs,
as well as improved the API around initial values. We even support non-primitive initial values
as the first argument to the `input` function now.
```ts
@Directive({..})
export class MyDir {
firstName = input<string>(); // string|undefined
lastName = input.required<string>(); // string
age = input(0); // number
```
PR Close#53872
Adds tests that allow us to ensure that the `input` API works as
expected and that resulting return types match our expectations- without
silently regressing in the future, or missing potential edge-cases.
Testing signatures is hard because of covariance and contravariance,
especially when it comes to the different semantics of `ReadT` and
`WriteT` of input signals. We enable reliable testing by validating the
`d.ts` of the "fake directive class". This ensures clear results,
compared to relying on e.g. type assertions that might
accidentally/silently pass due to covariance/contravariance or
biavariance in the type system.
