Now that ViewEngine libraries can no longer be created, the latest
TypeScript version that ngcc should be able to process is TypeScript 4.3,
i.e. the version of TypeScript that was supported in Angular 12.
However, ngcc's integration tests used the TypeScript version of the
workspace to create the JavaScript files from TypeScript sources on
demand. This introduces friction when upgrading the TypeScript version
within the workspace, as changes to TypeScript's emit format may affect
ngcc's ability to process it correctly.
The on demand creation of JavaScript files was convenient for authoring
tests, but it also helped to detect incompatibilities with newer
versions of TypeScript. Now that ngcc no longer has to process newer
versions of TypeScript, we want to pin the integration suite to use
JavaScript code as if it were compiled using TypeScript 4.3, i.e. a
version of TypeScript that is actually supported by ngcc.
This commit updates the integration test to inline all the generated
files directly in the tests, instead of compiling them on demand. This
was done by temporarily installing TypeScript 4.3 and using it to create
the `loadTestFiles` statement from the original TypeScript inputs.
An alternative could have been to install TypeScript 4.3 as an actual
dependency in the workspace and using that to continue compiling the
integration suite on demand, but this brings some overhead in package
installations (TypeScript is ~60MB) and the authoring aspect of ngcc
integration test is expected to diminish, now that ngcc's support is no
longer a moving target.

As outlined in the previous commit which enabled the `esModuleInterop`
TypeScript compiler option, we need to update all namespace imports
for `typescript` to default imports. This is needed to allow for
TypeScript to be imported at runtime from an ES module.
Similar changes are needed for modules like `semver` where the types incorrectly
suggest named exports that will not exist at runtime when imported from ESM.
This commit refactors all imports to match with the lint rule we have
configured in the previous commit. See the previous commit for more
details on why certain imports have been changed.
A special case are the imports to `@babel/core` and `@babel/types`. For
these a special interop is needed as both default imports, or named
imports break the other module format. e.g default imports would work
well for ESM, but it breaks for CJS. For CJS, the named imports would
only work, but in ESM, only the default export exist. We work around
this for now until the devmode is using ESM as well (which would be
consistent with prodmode and gives us more valuable test results). More
details on the interop can be found in the `babel_core.ts` files (two
interops are needed for both localize/or the compiler-cli).

In anticipation of the removal of the View Engine npm package output,
the integration tests of ngcc are switched to use @angular packages for
from npm. The version 12 packages are guaranteed to always be View
Engine format which makes them suitable to be processed in the ngcc
integration tests.

ngtsc has a robust suite of testing utilities, designed for in-memory
testing of a TypeScript compiler. Previously these utilities lived in the
`test` directory for the compiler-cli package.
This commit moves those utilities to an `ngtsc/testing` package, enabling
them to be depended on separately and opening the door for using them from
the upcoming language server testing infrastructure.
As part of this refactoring, the `fake_core` package (a lightweight API
replacement for @angular/core) is expanded to include functionality needed
for Language Service test use cases.

In #38666 we changed how ngcc deals with type expressions, where it
would now always emit the original type expression into the generated
code as a "local" type value reference instead of synthesizing new
imports using an "imported" type value reference. This was done as a fix
to properly deal with renamed symbols, however it turns out that the
compiler has special handling for certain imported symbols, e.g.
`ChangeDetectorRef` from `@angular/core`. The "local" type value
reference prevented this special logic from being hit, resulting in
incorrect compilation of pipe factories.
This commit fixes the issue by manually inspecting the import of the
type expression, in order to return an "imported" type value reference.
By manually inspecting the import we continue to handle renamed symbols.

In the integration test suite of ngcc, we load a set of files from
`node_modules` into memory. This includes the `typescript` package and
`@angular` scoped packages, which account for a large number of large
files that needs to be loaded from disk. This commit moves this work
to the top-level, such that it doesn't have to be repeated in all tests.

As of version 10, libraries following the APF will no longer contain
ESM5 output. Hence, tests in ngcc need to be updated as they currently
rely on the release output of `@angular/core`.
Additionally, we'd need to support in ngcc that the `module`
property of entry-points no longer necessarily refers to
`esm5` output, but instead can also target `esm2015`.
We currently achieve this by checking the path the `module`
property points to. We can do this because as per APF, the
folder name is known for the esm2015 output. Long-term for
more coverage, we want to sniff the format by looking for
known ES2015 constructs in the file `module` refers to.

The format property for ES5 bundles should be "module" or "es5"/"esm5",
but was "main" instead. The "main" property is appropriate for CommonJS
and UMD bundles, not for ES5 bundles.

Consider a library that uses a shared constant for host bindings. e.g.
```ts
export const BASE_BINDINGS= {
'[class.mat-themed]': '_isThemed',
}
----
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir1 {}
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir2 {}
```
Previously when these components were shipped as part of the
library to NPM, consumers were able to consume `Dir1` and `Dir2`.
No errors showed up.
Now with Ivy, when ngcc tries to process the library, an error
will be thrown. The error is stating that the host bindings should
be an object (which they obviously are). This happens because
TypeScript transforms the object spread to individual
`Object.assign` calls (for compatibility).
The partial evaluator used by the `@Directive` annotation handler
is unable to process this expression because there is no
integrated support for `Object.assign`. In View Engine, this was
not a problem because the `metadata.json` files from the library
were used to compute the host bindings.

ngcc has a basic integration test infrastructure that downlevels
TypeScript code into bundle formats that need to be processed by ngcc.
Until now, only ES5 bundles were created with a flat structure, however
more complex scenarios require an APF-like layout containing multiple
bundle formats.

In Angular View Engine, there are two kinds of decorator inheritance:
1) both the parent and child classes have decorators
This case is supported by InheritDefinitionFeature, which merges some fields
of the definitions (such as the inputs or queries).
2) only the parent class has a decorator
If the child class is missing a decorator, the compiler effectively behaves
as if the parent class' decorator is applied to the child class as well.
This is the "undecorated child" scenario, and this commit adds a migration
to ngcc to support this pattern in Ivy.
This migration has 2 phases. First, the NgModules of the application are
scanned for classes in 'declarations' which are missing decorators, but
whose base classes do have decorators. These classes are the undecorated
children. This scan is performed recursively, so even if a declared class
has a base class that itself inherits a decorator, this case is handled.
Next, a synthetic decorator (either @Component or @Directive) is created
on the child class. This decorator copies some critical information such
as 'selector' and 'exportAs', as well as supports any decorated fields
(@Input, etc). A flag is passed to the decorator compiler which causes a
special feature `CopyDefinitionFeature` to be included on the compiled
definition. This feature copies at runtime the remaining aspects of the
parent definition which `InheritDefinitionFeature` does not handle,
completing the "full" inheritance of the child class' decorator from its
parent class.
