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.
PR Close#45872
Recent changes in `rules_nodejs` caused the test case copy file actions
to be transitioned into the `exec` configuration, resulting in much larger
file paths. These paths break on Windows with the shell argument limit, and
with the path limit, causing errors like:
```

Updates the Bazel NodeJS rules to v4.0.0-beta.0. This is necessary
so that the Angular components repo can update, and it's generally
good to stay as up-to-date as possible with the Bazel rules as it's
easy to fall behind, and updating early allows us to discover issues
affecting our tooling earlier (where they are easier to address due to
e.g. potential breaking change policy).

This commit provides the machinery for the new file-based compliance test
approach for i18n tests, and migrates the i18n tests to this new format.
PR Close#39661
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.
