It is not clear that when we provide a service to some eagerly loaded module of an application, then that service is available for components of all eagerly loaded modules of that application. It would be better to give a link for more information at least.

As mentioned in #46021, `canMatch` guards can replace `canLoad`. There
are slight differences between the two but the purpose of preventing
user access to feature modules is still achievable. There are several
reasons keeping `CanLoad` around is detrimental to the API surface:
* Lazy loading should not be an architectural feature of an application. It's an
optimization you do for code size. That is, there should not be an architectural
feature in the router to directly specifically control whether to lazy load something or
not based on conditions such as authentication. This slightly
different from the `canMatch` guard: the guard controls whether
you can use the route at all and as a side-effect, whether we download the code.
`CanLoad` only specified whether the code should be downloaded so `canMatch` is
more powerful and more appropriate.
* The naming of `CanLoad` will be potentially misunderstood for the `loadComponent` feature.
Because it applies to `loadChildren`, it feels reasonable to think that it will
also apply to `loadComponent`. This isn’t the case: since we don't need
to load the component until right before activation, we defer the
loading until all guards/resolvers have run.
* Unnecessary API surface bloat where two features (CanMatch and CanLoad) do
essentially the same thing. This affects code size for supporting two
nearly identical features as well as the learning and teaching journey
for them both.
* `CanLoad` guards have the downside of _only_ being run once to prevent
loading child routes. Once that passes and children are loaded, the
guard never runs again. As a result, developers need to always provide
_both_ canLoad and a canActivate in case the answer to the guard flips
back to `false`. This is not the case for `canMatch`, which will run
on every navigation.
DEPRECATED: CanLoad guards in the Router are deprecated. Use CanMatch
instead.

None of the public properties of the `Router` are meant to be writeable.
They should all be configured using other methods, all of which have been
documented.
DEPRECATED: router writable properties
The following strategies are meant to be configured by registering the
application strategy in DI via the `providers` in the root `NgModule` or
`bootstrapApplication`:
* `routeReuseStrategy`
* `titleStrategy`
* `urlHandlingStrategy`
The following options are meant to be configured using the options
available in `RouterModule.forRoot` or `provideRouter`.
* `onSameUrlNavigation`
* `paramsInheritanceStrategy`
* `urlUpdateStrategy`
* `canceledNavigationResolution`
The following options are available in `RouterModule.forRoot` but not
available in `provideRouter`:
* `malformedUriErrorHandler` - This was found to not be used anywhere
internally.
* `errorHandler` - Developers can instead subscribe to `Router.events`
and filter for `NavigationError`.

The `setupTestingRouter` function is not necessary. The `Router` can be fully
initialized through the DI configuration in the same way as it is in
production. Tests should use `provideRouter` or `RouterTestingModule`.

Due to being only 1 letter away from `provideRouter`, it is quite
possible that developers may accidentally use `provideRoutes` rather
than `provideRouter` in the `boostrapApplication` function. This change
will warn developers when `provideRoutes` is used without the `Router`.
PR Close#47896
This function is too similar in name to the new `provideRouter` and can
lead to misconfiguring the router. The function itself is just a small
wrapper around `{provide: ROUTES, multi: true, useValue: routes}`. It is
rarely necessary to provide routes in this way. The harm `provideRoutes`
will cause due to being only 1 letter away from `provideRouter` vastly
outweighs the benefit of a slightly shorter provider.

This section is unnecessary given that all is needed for the user is to run `ng test`, and is also tricky to maintain (Node was hard coded to v14 still).
We have no mechanism of testing or verifying these setups, and we have no motivation to do so.
Users should see their CI providers documentation Any preconfigured Node setup is going to suggest `ng test`, which should "just work" for Angular.

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.
