The NodeJS Bazel linker does not work well on Windows because there
is no sandboxing and linker processes from different tests will attempt
to modify the same `node_modules`, causing concurrency race conditions
and resulting in flakiness.

The `ng_rollup_bundle` rule has been replaced with a new rule called
`app_bundle`. This rule replicates the Angular v13 optimization
pipeline in the CLI, so that we can get better benchmarking results.
Also the rule is much simpler to maintain as it relies on ESbuild.
The old `ng_rollup_bundle` rule did rely on e.g. build-optimizer that no
longer has an effect on v13 Angular packages, so technically size
tests/symbol tests were no longer as correct as they were before. This
commit fixes that.
A couple of different changes and their explanation:
* Language-service will no longer use the benchmark rule for creating
its NPM bundles! It will use plain `rollup_bundle`. ESBuild would have
been nice but the language-service relies on AMD that ESBuild cannot
generate (yet?)
* Service-worker ngsw-worker.js file was generated using the benchmark
bundle rule. This is wrong. We will use a simple ESbuild rule in the
future. The output is more predictable that way, and we can have a
clear use of the benchmark bundle rule..
* A couple of benchmarks in `modules/` had to be updated to use e.g.
`initTableUtils` calls. This is done because with the new rule, all
files except for the entry-point are considered side-effect free. The
utilities for benchmarks relied on side-effects in some
transitively-loaded file (bad practice anyway IMO). We are now
initializing the utilities using a proper init function that is
exported...

Refactors the `ng_rollup_bundle` rule to a macro that relies on
the `@bazel/rollup` package. This means that the rule no longer
deals with custom ESM5 flavour output, but rather only builds
prodmode ES2015 output. This matches the common build output
in Angular projects, and optimizations done in CLI where
ES2015 is the default optimization input.
The motiviation for this change is:
* Not duplicating rollup Bazel rules. Instead leveraging the official
rollup rule.
* Not dealing with a third TS output flavor in Bazel.The ESM5 flavour has the
potential of slowing down local development (as it requires compilation replaying)
* Updating the rule to be aligned with current CLI optimizations.
This also _fixes_ a bug that surfaced in the old rollup bundle rule.
Code that is unused, is not removed properly. The new rule fixes this by
setting the `toplevel` flag. This instructs terser to remove unused
definitions at top-level. This matches the optimization applied in CLI
projects. Notably the CLI doesn't need this flag, as code is always
wrapped by Webpack. Hence, the unused code eliding runs by default.

We don't collect/review the results from CI, so it's just a waste of CPU time.
It's sufficient if we are able to run these locally and manually.

this makes running and profiling tests much easier. Example usage:
```
yarn bazel run --define=compile=aot //packages/core/test/render3/perf:noop_change_detection
```
See README.md update for more info.
PS: I considered moving the ng_rollup bundle into the macro but I didn't want to make
too many changes in this PR. If we find running benchmarks in this way useful, we
should refactor the build file more, and move the ng_rollup_bundle targets into the
macro.
