`tsickle` is not used in any code paths in 3P and we can remove
this complexity. The `tsickle` npm package has not been released
in a while and we are risking breakages with e.g. future TypeScript
versions.
Note that the `ng_module` rule was updated to not emit through
tsickle at all. The tsickle in 1P is done directly by `tsc_wrapped`
and our code path in `compiler-cli` is not needed at all.

Updates the dynamic-compiler test to be compatible with the APF v13.
As of v13, the packages no longer come with metadata.json files and
now need to be processed with the babel linker plugin. This commit
sets up the linker plugin, and switches away from the deprecated
systemjs approach to a simpler rollup code-splitting variant.

Removes the remaining usages of dynamic require statements in the
package output. Since we declare all shipped packages as strict ESM,
we cannot use dynamic require statements anymore. This commit switches
these usages to actual `import` statements.
Note: Tsickle continues to remain an optional dependency since bundling
does not work with its UMD package output. Also tsickle is rarely used by
consumers, if at all, so bundling does not really provide any significant
value. To continue keeping tsickle optional (since it's still needed by the
`annotateForClosureCompiler` option which is also respected in ngtsc), we
pass-through a tsickle instance as a parameter to `main`. This allows us to
keep the compile functions synchronous without having to refactor the majority
of the watch compilation code, and majority of tests for ngc, ngtsc.
Consumers (like the `ngc` bin entry-point) can then load tsickle based on their
module format. e.g. tsickle can be imported through `require` to keep everything
sync, but in ESM, the dynamic import can be used beforehand to pass `tsickle` to
the `main` function. We can revisit this in the future but for now this does the
trick without exceeding the scope of this commit..

All other frameworks packages are now using APF v13 and are strict
ESM packages. The compiler-cli does not use APF and is currently shipped
with its devmode ES5 CommonJS sources. This is problematic as CommonJS
cannot simply import from ECMAScript modules (like `@angular/compiler`).
To fix this we use a bundler that allows us to ship the compiler-cli as
a strict ESM package. Note: An ESM can import from an ESM without any
problems. This is what we need hre.
Unfortunatley we need a bundler here because converting the compiler-cli
to ESM is non-trivial as relative imports would need an explicit
`.js` extension. This work can be simplified by using a bundler that
avoids relative imports completely.
Note: This commit uses code-splitting to create multiple bundle
entry-points for `yarn ngc, `yarn ngcc` etc. This commit removed
the old `ivy-ngcc` entry-point that just printed an error message
(to reduce amount of bundles having to be configured).
