Usage of the `fast-glob` package has been replaced with the `tinyglobby` package. The change reduces the number of transitive dependencies related to these packages from 17 to 2 while also maintaining equivalent functionality. This was also changed in the Angular CLI packages.

Historically we've had to be VERY cautious about the way we import
things between entry-points. That is because the `ng_package` rule
bundling is subject to silently introducing code duplication, breaking
singletons etc. We've had this surface a couple of times already, and
dev-infra tried to help detect such cases by adding safety analysis into
`ng_package`.
Long-term we want to get to an approach where it's easy to simply share
code between chunks. Precisely, with the upcoming `rules_js` migration,
this will be necessary as we will have different import "guidelines"
that would currently, before this commit, result in code duplication, or
trigger our "safety check/lint".
This commit prepares `ng_package` to support relative imports between
entry-points, so that we only need the safety check for cross-package
imports/exports. The result is that `ng_package`/APF is now smartly able
to generate shared chunks for things that are needed between multiple
entry-points. Yay!
Note that those shared chunks still remain private, and are guarded by
our `package.json` "exports"; so no new public API surface is
exposed.

When setting `"useDefineForClassFields": false`, static fields are compiled within a block that relies on the `this` context. This output makes it more difficult for bundlers to treeshake and eliminate unused code.

We have removed the `esm2022` directory from the generated package, as it was unused and contributed 7.7 MB to `@angular/core`. The `ng_package` rule still passes `esm2022` to the packager to perform `analyzeFileAndEnsureNoCrossImports`.
A moment of reflection:
You've always been there, full of potential, yet never called upon. Now, we bid you farewell.

The `@angular/schematic` package has a `utility` export path which can be
used to access common utility rules and helpers. The previous deep imports
into the `@angular/schematic` package have been switched to the actual
export path where possible. This lowers the potential for breakage from
internal package changes.

The `@babel/core` package provides the functionality of multiple other babel packages
without the need to directly depend or import the other babel packages. Since the
`@babel/core` package is already used and imported in the locations that previously
used the other babel packages, an overall reduction in both imports and dependencies
is possible. Six babel related packages were able to be removed from the root `package.json`
and one (also present in the aforementioned six) was removed as a dependency from the
`@angular/localize` package. Unfortunately, the functionality used from the `@babel/generator`
package is not provided by `@babel/core` and is still present. Further refactoring may
allow its removal as well in the future.
The following packages were removed:
* @babel/parser
* @babel/template
* @babel/traverse
* @babel/types
* @types/babel__template
* @types/babel__traverse

Updates the repo to support TypeScript 5.3 and resolve any issues. Fixes include:
* Updating usages of TS compiler APIs to match their new signatures.
* In TS 5.3 negative numbers are represented as `PrefixUnaryExpression` instead of `NumericExpression`. These changes update all usages to account for it since passing a negative number into the old APIs results in a runtime error.

This adds `generate_api_docs` targets to all of the packages for which we publish api reference docs. One known issue here is that any type information that comes from another package (e.g. router depending on core) currently resolve to `any` because the other sources are not available in the program. This can be tackled in a follow-up commit.
This commit also updates the install patch for `@angular/build-tools` to use the local version of compiler-cli.

Switches the syntax for blocks from `{#block}{/block}` to `@block {}` based on the feedback from the community.
Read more about the decision-making process in our blog: https://blog.angular.io/meet-angulars-new-control-flow-a02c6eee7843
The existing block types changed in the following ways:
**Conditional blocks:**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#if cond}
Main content
{:else if otherCond}
Else if content
{:else}
Else content
{/if}
<!-- After -->
@if (cond) {
Main content
} @else if (otherCond) {
Else if content
} @else {
Else content
}
```
**Deferred blocks**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#defer when isLoaded}
Main content
{:loading} Loading...
{:placeholder} <icon>pending</icon>
{:error} Failed to load
{/defer}
<!-- After -->
@defer (when isLoaded) {
Main content
} @loading {
Loading...
} @placeholder {
<icon>pending</icon>
} @error {
Failed to load
}
```
**Switch blocks:**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#switch value}
{:case 1}
One
{:case 2}
Two
{:default}
Default
{/switch}
<!-- After -->
@switch (value) {
@case (1) {
One
}
@case (2) {
Two
}
@default {
Default
}
}
```
**For loops**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#for item of items; track item}
{{item.name}}
{:empty} No items
{/for}
<!-- After -->
@for (item of items; track item) {
{{item.name}}
} @empty {
No items

The localize package intentionally duplicates some logic from the
compiler to avoid adding a dependency. This is now an error in the
packaging rule to prevent common pitfalls/code duplication. Here it's
an explicit decision though so we mark it as such and ask for the check
to be ignored for the particular import.
