In certain cases Angular hydration logic can not rely on the order in which elements are present in a template (for example, in content-projection use-cases) and there is a need to serialize a path from one node to another, so that hydration can locate an element on a page. The logic attempts to use an immediate parent element as an anchor and compute the path from it. If it fails - the path is computed starting from the <body> (this is a fallback).
This commit updates the logic to walk up the parents tree if an immediate parent (from a template) is disconnected from the DOM. This helps to shorten the lookup path and make it more stable.

This commit fixes an issue where swapping hydrated views was not possible in the new control flow repeater. The problem was caused by the fact that an internal representation of a view had no indication that hydration is completed and further detaching/attaching should work in a regular (non-hydration) mode. This commit adds a logic that resets a pointer to a dehydrated content and we use this as an indication that the view is swtiched to a regular mode.
Resolves#53163.

This commit fixes an issue with hydration, which happens when a content is projected in a certain way, leaving host elements non-projected, but the child content projected.
The fix is to detect such situations and add extra annotations to help runtime logic locate those elements at the right locations.
Resolves#53276.

This commit updates the logic to handle hydration of multiple nodes projected in a single slot. Currently, in case component nodes are content-projected and their order is changed during the projection, hydration can not find the correct element. With this fix, extra annotation info would be included for such nodes and hydration logic at runtime will use it to locate the right element.
Resolves#53246.

Previously, the cross entry-point dependency was created to share the `setDomTypes` function. This however, causes extra transformations "linking" during the application build since other Angular code in `@angular/platform-server` is pulled in.
With this commit we remove the cross dependency and thus remove the need for extra transformations in the server polyfill bundle with the result of having a slightly faster build.

Prior to this commit relative HTTP requests were not being resolved to absolute even thought the behaviour is documented in https://angular.io/guide/universal#using-absolute-urls-for-http-data-requests-on-the-server.
This caused relative HTTP requests to fail when done on the server because of missing request context. This change is also required to eventually support HTTP requests handled during prerendering (SSG).

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.

This commit removes the `withNoDomReuse` function to minimize public API. The `withNoDomReuse` function used to disable DOM reuse, which is the main feature of the `provideClientHydration()`.
The `withNoDomReuse()` function was in the "developer preview" mode, so the removal happens without prior deprecation.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The `withNoDomReuse()` function was removed from the public API. If you need to disable hydration, you can exclude the `provideClientHydration()` call from provider list in your application (which would disable hydration features for the entire application) or use `ngSkipHydration` attribute to disable hydration for particular components. See this guide for additional information: https://angular.io/guide/hydration#how-to-skip-hydration-for-particular-components.

This commit updates the runtime implementation of defer blocks to avoid their triggering on the server. This behavior was described in the RFC (https://github.com/angular/angular/discussions/50716, see "Server Side Rendering Behavior" section): only a placeholder is rendered on the server at this moment.

For cases when a root component also acts as an anchor node for a ViewContainerRef (for example, when ViewContainerRef is injected in a root component), there is a need to serialize information about the component itself, as well as an LContainer that represents this ViewContainerRef. Effectively, we need to serialize 2 pieces of info: (1) hydration info for the root component itself and (2) hydration info for the ViewContainerRef instance (an LContainer). Each piece of information is included into the hydration data (in the TransferState object) separately, thus we end up with 2 ids. Since we only have 1 root element, we encode both bits of info into a single string: ids are separated by the `|` char (e.g. `10|25`, where `10` is the ngh for a component view and 25 is the `ngh` for a root view which holds LContainer).
Previously, we were only including component-related information, thus all the views in the view container remained dehydrated and duplicated (client-rendered from scratch) on the client.

Previously, we've used to have server-specific logic for HttpClient, so there was a need to re-provide it with the right config. Since v16, that logic was refactored and there is no need to re-provide HttpClient anymore. The code in the `provideServerRendering()` was retained for historical reasons and it makes application configuration more difficult, because it forces developers to copy HttpClient config into server config as well (otherwise it would not be take into account).
This commit removes the `provideHttpClient()` call from the `provideServerRendering()` function. This is **not** a breaking change, since we've also merge browser application config in the `app.config.server.ts`, so if an application is configured to use HttpClient, it will continue to work on both client and server sides.

This commit updates hydration logic to support a scenario where a view container that was hydrated and later on projected to a component that skips hydration.

This commit updates the `@angular/common/http` and `@angular/platform-server` packages to allow dynamic import of the `xhr2` dependency. The `xhr2` dependency has side-effects that rely on a global scope and as a result in some environments those side-effectful calls fail. With the changes from this PR, the import is delayed until it's actually needed, which gives a chance for the underlying platform to setup global scope (via shims) as needed.

Hydration relies on a signal from ZoneJS when it becomes stable inside an application, so that Angular can start serialization process on the server or post-hydration cleanup on the client (to remove DOM nodes that remained unclaimed).
Providing a custom or a "noop" ZoneJS implementation may lead to a different timing of the "stable" event, thus triggering the serialization or the cleanup too early or too late. This is not yet a fully supported configuration.
This commit adds a warning (non-blocking) for those cases.

This commit updates hydration logic to hanlde a case when the same component is used multiple times in a template and in some of those cases, component is opted-out of hydration, for example:
```
<cmp ngSkipHydration />
<cmp />
```
Previously, the first occurrence of the `<cmp>` would result in storing the `ssrId` on a TView as `null` (since hydration is disabled for the component) and the second component instance reused the `null` as a value, thus also skipping hydration.
With the changes from this commit, the `ssrId` would be set when we come across a hydratable instance. We also make sure that the `ssrId` value never changes after we first set it to a non-`null` value.

This commit updates hydration logic to handle cases when there are projection slots present in a template inside of an `<ng-container>` and when there are regular elements follow an <ng-content> slot (see tests for additional information). With this combination, the logic that annotates regular element locations should fallback to calculating a path from a reference node to that node. In case of an <ng-container>, the comment node is located *after* the node that needs an annotation. An existing logic was mistakenly returning an empty path, which was represented as a pointer to teh reference node. This commit fixes that and triggers a fallback to using a component host node as a reference in this case.

Empty text nodes are not present in the server-rendered HTML output, thus we inject a special marker
at a text node location to later restore an empty text node at the client. Currently, we treat text nodes with spaces as "empty" as well, however those spaces are present in the HTML and text nodes are created in a browser. Adding extra annotation in this case results in extra text nodes created on the client and may trigger hydration issues. This commit updates the code to avoid treating text nodes with spaces as "empty".
