As part of the Bazel toolchain migration we noticed that implicit types
generated by the TypeScript compiler sometimes end up referencing types
from other packages (i.e. cross-package imports).
These imports currently work just because the Bazel `ts_library` and
`ng_module` rules automatically inserted a `<amd-module
name="@angular/x" />` into `.d.ts` of packages. This helped TS figure
out how to import a given file. Notably this is custom logic that is not
occuring in vanilla TS or Angular compilations—so we will drop this
magic as part of the toolchain cleanup!
To improve code quality and keep the existing behavior working, we are
doing the following:
- adding a lint rule that reduces the risk of such imports breaking. The
failure scenario without the rule is that API goldens show unexpected
diffs, and types might be duplicated in a different package!
- keeping the `<amd-module` headers, but we manually insert them into
the package entry-points. This should ensure we don't regress
anywhere; while we also improved general safety around this above.
Long-term, isolated declarations or a lint rule from eslint-typescript
can make this even more robust.

Previously, `platformBrowserTesting` did not include any `platformBrowser` providers, causing an inconsistency with `platformBrowserDynamicTesting`.
This update resolves the issue by restructuring platform inheritance to ensure proper provider inclusion:
- `platformCore → platformBrowser → platformBrowserTesting`
- `platformBrowser → platformBrowserDynamic → platformBrowserDynamicTesting`
Now, `platformBrowserTesting` correctly inherits from `platformBrowser`, aligning with the expected behavior.

Removes the hard dependency between `platform-server` and `platform-browser/animations` since now the animations module will disable itself automatically.

After this, neither @angular/compiler nor @angular/comnpiler-cli depend
on @angular/core.
This add a duplication of some interfaces and enums which is stored
in @angular/compiler/src/core.ts
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `@angular/platform-server` now additionally depends on
`@angular/platform-browser-dynamic` as a peer dependency.

This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.

This is so that server side rendering does not throw an exception when it encounters animations on the server side and does not need the user to explicitly setup NoopAnimationsModule in their app server module.
