We skip event listeners on non-element host nodes (e.g. `ng-container` or `ng-element`), because they don't map to a DOM node so there's nothing to bind the event to. The problem is that this also prevents listeners bound to global targets from being bound.
These changes add an extra condition to allow for the event to be bound if it has a custom event target resolver.
Fixes#14191.

The JIT compiler has a mapping from component to the owning NgModule
and tracks whether a certain NgModule class has been verified; these
maps causes any JIT compiled component and NgModule to be retained even
if they are no longer referenced from anywhere else. This commit
switches the maps to `WeakMap` to allow garbage collecting any
components and NgModules that are no longer referenced elsewhere.
Fixes#19997

When there are multiple attributes that are marked for i18n translation,
which contain expression bindings, we were generating i18n update op-codes
that did not accurately map to the correct value to be bound in the lView.
Each attribute's bindings were relative to the start of the lView first
attributes values rather than to their own.
This fix passes the current binding index to `generateBindingUpdateOpCodes()`
when processing i18n attributes to account for this.

Makes the following improvements to the listener instructions to make them slightly smaller and more memory-efficient.
1. Removes the default value from the `useCapture` parameter since it generates more code than just castint to `false`.
2. Removes the `useCapture` and `eventTargetResolver` parameters from `ɵɵsyntheticHostListener` since they won't be generated by the compiler, as far as I can tell.
3. Makes it so that we don't have to return a target name from a `GlobalTargetResolver`. This allows us to save on some memory, because we can return a reference to the target without having to wrap it in an object literal.
DEPRECATIONS:
`EventManagerPlugin.getGlobalEventTarget` is now deprecated and won't be called from Ivy code anymore. Global events will go through `addEventListener`.

Currently we save a reference to an `LView` on most DOM nodes created by Angular either by saving
the `LView` directly in the `__ngContext__` or by saving the `LContext` which has a reference to
the `LView`. This can be a problem if the DOM node is retained in memory, because the `LView` has
references to all of the child nodes of the view, as well as other internal data structures.
Previously we tried to resolve the issue by clearing the `__ngContext__` when a node is removed
(see https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36011), but we decided not to proceeed, because it can
slow down destruction due to a megamorphic write.
These changes aim to address the issue while reducing the performance impact by assigning a unique
ID when an `LView` is created and adding it to `__ngContext__`. All active views are tracked in
a map where their unique ID is used as the key. We don't need to worry about leaks within that map,
because `LView`s are an internal data structure and we have complete control over when they are
created and destroyed.

This commit refactors the code to replace `loadLContext` with `getLContext` calls. The only difference between these two functions is that the `loadLContext` supports throwing an error in case `LContext` can not be found. The investigation performed in #41525 revealed that throwing while retrieving `LContext` might have undesirable performance implications, so we should avoid that to make sure there are no accidental perf regressions in other parts of code that used `loadLContext`. Moreover, in most of the places the `loadLContext` was already called in a mode that prevented an error from being thrown, so this refactoring should have no effect on the actual behavior.
PR Close#41606
This commit introduces the following optimizations:
1. We return an empty array for text nodes in `getDirectives` because
Angular does not support attaching logic to them. This optimization
improves performance of `getDirectives` significantly because text nodes
often result in expensive calls to `loadLContext` since we can't resolve
it from a parent node.
1. `getDirectives` now calls `loadLContext` with second argument `false`
so it doesn't throw an error. This brings another significant
improvement because prevents the VM from deoptimizing calls.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously the `ng.getDirectives` function threw an error in case a
given DOM node had no Angular context associated with it (for example
if a function was called for a DOM element outside of an Angular app).
This behavior was inconsistent with other debugging utilities under `ng`
namespace, which handled this situation without raising an exception.
Now calling the `ng.getDirectives` function for such DOM nodes would
result in an empty array returned from that function.

Introduces an **internal**, **experimental** `profiler` function, which
the runtime invokes around user code, including before and after:
- Running the template function of a component
- Executing a lifecycle hook
- Evaluating an output handler
The `profiler` function invokes a callback set with the global
`ng.ɵsetProfiler`. This API is **private** and **experimental** and
could be removed or changed at any time.
This implementation is cheap and available in production. It's cheap
because the `profiler` function is simple, which allows the JiT compiler
to inline it in the callsites. It also doesn't add up much to the
production bundle.
To listen for profiler events:

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

This is a pre-requisite for #40360. Given the following template which has a listener
that references a variable from a parent template (`name`):
```
<ng-template let-name="name">
<button (click)="hello(name)"></button>
</ng-template>
```
We generate code that looks that looks like. Note how we access `name` through `ctx`:
```js
function template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
const r0 = ɵɵgetCurrentView();
ɵɵelementStart(0, "button", 2);
ɵɵlistener("click", function() {
ɵɵrestoreView(r0);
const name_r0 = ctx.name; // Note the `ctx.name` access here.
const ctx_r1 = ɵɵnextContext();
return ctx_r1.log(name_r0);
});
ɵɵelementEnd();
}
}
```
This works fine at the moment, because the template context object can't be changed after creation.
The changes in #40360 allow for the object to be changed, which means that the `ctx` reference
inside the listener will be out of date, because it was bound during creation mode.
This PR aims to address the issue by accessing the context inside listeners through the saved
view reference. With the new code, the generated code from above will look as follows:
```js
function template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
const r0 = ɵɵgetCurrentView();
ɵɵelementStart(0, "button", 2);
ɵɵlistener("click", function() {
const restoredCtx = ɵɵrestoreView(r0);
const name_r0 = restoredCtx.name;
const ctx_r1 = ɵɵnextContext();
return ctx_r1.log(name_r0);

The injector system uses a bloom filter to determine if a token is
possibly defined in the node injector tree, which is stored across
multiple bloom buckets that each represent 32 bits of the full 256-bit
wide bloom hash. This means that a computation is required to determine
the exact bloom bucket which is responsible for storing any given 32-bit
interval, which was previously computed using three bitmask operations
and three branches to derive the bloom bucket offset.
This commit exploits the observation that all bits beyond the low 5 bits
of the bloom hash are an accurate representation for the bucket offset,
if shifted right such that those bits become the least significant bits.
This reduces the three bitmask operations and three branches with a
single shift operation, while additionally offering a code size
improvement.

When we attach a `ViewRef` to a `ViewContainerRef`, we save a reference to the container
onto the `ViewRef` so that we can remove it when the ref is destroyed. The problem is
that if the container's `hostView` is destroyed first, the `ViewRef` has no way of knowing
that it should stop referencing the container.
These changes remove the leak by not saving a reference at all. Instead, when a `ViewRef`
is destroyed, we clean it up through the `LContainer` directly. We don't need to worry
about the case where the container is destroyed before the view, because containers
automatically clean up all of their views upon destruction.
