Adds support for defining `viewport`, `interaction` and `hover` triggers with no parameters. If the framework encounters such a case, it resolves the trigger to the root element of the `@placeholder` block. Triggers with no parameters have the following restrictions:
1. They have to be placed on an `@defer` block that has an `@placeholder`.
2. The `@placeholder` can only have one root node.
3. The root placeholder node has to be an element.

Change sourceSpan for Comment nodes to cover the whole comment

The primary motivation for this is the interaction between ESLint and
`@angular-eslint`. ESLint can detect unused `eslint-disable` directives
in comments and automatically remove them when running with `--fix`.
This is based on ranges computed from AST spans, and as a result
does not work inside Angular templates - right now all comments

Currently we are unsafely unquoting CSS values which in some cases causes valid values to become invalid and invalid values to become valid.
Example:
```html
<div style="width:"1px;""></div>
```
In the above case, `width` has an invalid value of `"1px"`, however the compiler will transform it to `1px` which makes it valid.
On the other hand, in the below case
```html
<div style="content:"foo""></div>
```
`content` has a valid value of `"foo"`, but since the compiler unwraps it to `foo` it becomes invalid. For correctness, we should not remove quotes.
```js
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.style.width='"1px"';
div.style.content='foo';
div.style.width; // ''
div.style.content; // ''
div.style.width='1px';
div.style.content='"foo"';
div.style.width; // '1px'
div.style.content; // '"foo"'

Since we generate a `.mjs` file as entry-point for jasmine tests,
a couple of issues prevented the transitive dependencies from
bootstrap targets to be brought in (causing resolution errors):
1. The `_files` (previously `_esm2015`) targets are no longer needed,
and they also miss all the information on runfiles.
2. The aspect for computing linker mappings does not respect the
`bootstrap` attribute from the `spec_entrypoint` so we manually
add the extract ESM output targets (this rule works with the aspect
and forwards linker mappings).
PR Close#48521
For every `ts_library` target we expose a shorthand that grants
access to the JS files because `DefaultInfo` of a ts library
only exposes the `.d.ts` files.
We rename this away from `es2015` since in practice it's a much
higher target these days. Additionally we no longer use the devmode
output but rather use the prodmode output which has the explicit
`.mjs` output- compatible with ESM.

This is the compile-time implementation of the `hostDirectives` feature plus a little bit of runtime code to illustrate how the newly-generated code will plug into the runtime. It works by creating a call to the new `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` feature whenever a directive has a `hostDirectives` field. Afterwards `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` will patch a new function onto the directive definition that will be invoked during directive matching.
For example, if we take the following definition:
```ts
@Directive({
hostDirectives: [HostA, {directive: HostB, inputs: ['input: alias']}]
})
class MyDir {}
```
Will compile to:
```js
MyDir.ɵdir = ɵɵdefineComponent({
features: [ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature([HostA, {
directive: HostB,
inputs: {
input: "alias"
}
}])]
});
```
The template type checking is implemented during directive matching by adding the host directives applied on the host to the array of matched directives whenever the host is matched in a template.
Relates to #8785.

When parsing interpolations, the input string is _decoded_ from what was
in the orginal template. This means that we cannot soley rely on the input
string to compute source spans because it does not necessarily reflect
the exact content of the original template. Specifically, when there is
an HTML entity (i.e. ` `), this will show up in its decoded form
when processing the interpolation (' '). We need to compute offsets
using the original _encoded_ string.
Note that this problem only surfaces in the splitting of interpolations.
The spans to this point have already been tracked accurately. For
example, given the template ` <div></div>`, the source span for the
`div` is already correctly determined to be 6. Only when we encounter
interpolations with many parts do we run into situations where we need
to compute new spans for the individual parts of the interpolation.

For two-way-bindings that use the banana-in-a-box syntax, the compiler
synthesizes an event assignment expression from the primary expression.
It is valid for the primary expression to be terminated by the non-null
operator, however naive string substitution is used for the synthesized
expression, such that the `!` would immediately precede the `=` token,
resulting in the valid `!=` operator token. The expression would still
parse correctly but it doesn't implement the proper semantics, resulting
in incorrect runtime behavior.
Changing the expression substitution to force a space between the
primary expression and the assignment avoids this mistake, but it
uncovers a new issue. The grammar does not allow for the LHS of an
assignment to be the non-null operator, so the synthesized expression
would fail to parse. To alleviate this, the synthesized expression is
parsed with a special parser flag to allow for this syntax.

So-called "Quote expressions" were added in b6ec2387b3
to support foreign syntax to be used in Angular templates, requiring a custom
template transform to convert them somehow during compilation. Support for template
transforms was originally implemented in a43ed79ee7 but
has since been dropped. Since the compiler is not public API the quote expressions
should not have any usages anymore. Removing support for them can improve error
reporting for expressions that contain a `:`, e.g. binding to a URL without quotes:
```html
<a [href]="http://google.com">Click me</a>
```
Here, `http` would be parsed as foreign "http" quote expression with `//google.com` as
value, later reporting the error "Quotes are not supported for evaluation!" because
there was no template transform to convert that code.

An `ng-template` with an inline template (i.e. has a structural
directive) would previously not get an `undefined` `tagName` because the
logic assumed the element would be `t.Element` or `t.Content` and read
the tag name from the `name` property. For a `t.Template`, this exists
instead on the `t.tagName`. The final result would be an `tagName` of `undefined`
for the parent `t.Template`, causing failures in the indexer downstream.
This `undefined` value is actually expected in the renderer code, even
though the type does not specify this possibility. This change updates
the type of `tagName` to be `string|null` and explicitly handles the
case where there is a structural directive on an `ng-template`. You can
see how the two are differentiated in the compliance code that was
modified in this commit.

The previous fix for correcting spans with comments in
59eef29a6c
had the unfortunate side effect of _breaking_ the spans with comments
when there was leading whitespace. This happened because the previous
fix was testing one without a comment, identifying that the offset shouldn't
have anything added to it, and then removing that offset adjustment
(`offsets[i] + (expressionText.length - sourceToLex.length)`).
Upon further investigation, this offset adjustment _was actually
necessary_ for when the input had comments, but this was only because
the `stripComments` function used `trim` to remove whitespace for these
cases. This is the real problem -- not only does it create a ton of confusion
but also it means that the behavior of the lexer and resulting spans is
different between inputs with comments and inputs without comments.
After reviewing how the `inputLength` of `_ParseAST` was used, it
appears that the correct behavior would be to _not_ trim the input. The
`inputLength` is used to advance the current index beyond points which
have been processed. This _should_ include any whitespace. Additionally,
`inputLength` doesn't appear to be needed at all. When there was no
comment in the input, it was always equal to the `input.length` anyways.
When there _is_ a comment, it should include that comment anyways to
advance the index beyond the comment.
PR Close#44785
When parsing a binding with a comment at the end of the expression, the
parser previously had logic to offset the parsed spans by the length of the
comment. This logic seemed not to serve any useful purpose, and instead
resulted in the corruption of the spans. For example, in the expression
`{{foo // comment}}`, the parser would map the parsed `foo` `PropertyRead`
node at the location of the characters 'ent' from the comment suffix.
This commit removes that logic, correcting the parsed spans of such nodes in
the presence of comments. Removing this logic does not seem to have caused
any tests to fail.

After updating to a more recent version of rollup, rollup started to
complain because the `TreeParseResult` class is being re-exported
twice in the `index.ts -> public-api.ts -> compiler.ts` entry-point.
Rollup threw errors like:
```
Error: "ParseTreeResult" cannot be exported from
<..>/ml_parser/parser.mjs as it is a re-export that references itself.
```
It seems like Rollup ideally would not throw here, similar to TypeScript
which detects that these exports are the same and just dedupes them, but
it's low-effort fixing this for now and actually is a good opportunity
to make the public API a little more easy understand (when looking at
the `compiler.ts` file).

Currently the compiler has three different classes to represent a "call to something":
1. `MethodCall` - `foo.bar()`
2. `SafeMethodCall` - `foo?.bar()`.
3. `FunctionCall` - Any calls that don't fit into the first two classes. E.g. `foo.bar()()`.
There are a few problems with this approach:
1. It is inconistent with the TypeScript AST which only has one node: `CallExpression`.
2. It means that we have to maintain more code, because the various parts of the compiler need to know about three node types.
3. It doesn't allow us to easily implement some new JS features like safe calls (e.g. `foo.bar?.())`).
These changes rework the compiler so that it produces only one node: `Call`. The new node behaves similarly to the TypeScript `CallExpression` whose `receiver` can be any expression.
There was a similar situation in the output AST where we had an `InvokeMethodExpression` and `InvokeFunctionExpression`. I've combined both of them into `InvokeFunctionExpression`.
