Angular DevTools depends on many modern Angular features in order to function. As a result, at present the last officially supported version is v12. Angular DevTools may function for some Angular 9, 10 and 11 applications, but they are not officially supported.
This commit fixes an issue where DevTools would not inject a backend script into an Angular application if it detected it was below version 12. This backend script is important because it's used to inform the DevTools panel that the inspected application is in fact Angular, but that it is not on a supported version.
Angular 9, 10 and 11 applications that successfully have Angular DevTools initialize will now have a red highlight and tooltip on their version number, informing the user that they are using Angular DevTools on a version of Angular that is no longer supported.
Angular DevTools for applications that are below version 9 will continue to display the "Angular Devtools supports Angular versions 12 and above" message.

Previously, a race condition could cause DevTools to enter a state where it can't detect an application on reload. This was caused by a sequencing issue between the content script connection, the devtools panel connection and an event "backendReady" that lets DevTools know when a particular frame is ready to be inspected.
This commit replaces the previously stored backendReady boolean with a promise, so that the devtools panel can eventually run a callback to connect to a content script when that content script emits it's backendReady message.

In the Angular DevTools Chrome DevTools page:
- Angular DevTools is able to ask the background script to list each frame that has been registered on a page.
- Angular Devtools is able to ask the background script to "enable" the connection on a particular frame. This enables the messaging between the content script <-> background script <-> devtools page
- Implements detection of non unique urls on the inspected page
Limitations:
- The `inspectedWindow.eval` API is only able to target frames by frameURL. This means some features that integrate with Chrome DevTools like inspect element and open source will not be available when inspecting frames that do not have a unique url on the page.

Modifies the messaging layer of devtools to allow for switching communication between frames on a page. When served as a browser extension.
Design:
- When a page renders, DevTools installs a content script onto it through it's manifest file. The all_frames option is used here to install this script onto every frame in a page.
- When Angular is detected, the content script will install a backend script into it's frame.
- Each content script / backend script pairing is kept track of in the background script. This pairing represents an angular devtools context in a particular frame.
- Angular DevTools is able to ask the background script to list each frame that has been registered on a page.
- Angular Devtools is able to ask the background script to "enable" the connection on a particular frame. This enables the messaging between the content script <-> background script <-> devtools page
Limitations:

Enabling `strict` is part of an effort to improve the quality of the devtools code base.
One of the direct side effect is to enable `noImplicitAny`, `strictPropertyInitialization` and `strictBindCallApply`.
This commit also replaces `fullTemplateTypeCheck` with `stringTemplates`.

Currently internally Angular has some customized tsconfig files, because we don't align with the tsconfig of the rest of g3. These changes enable `noImplicitReturns` and `noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature` to align better with the internal config.

`RouterTestingModule` is not needed as of v16. Instead, TestBed
automatically provides `MockPlatformLocation` in order to help test
navigations in the application. The location mocks in the
RouterTestingModule aren't necessary anymore.
There doesn't appear to be any real documentation around
`RouterTestingModule` other than the API docs.

Previously we built DevTools for all browsers with version 2 of the manifest file format.
This commit includes a number of refactors and API additions that will enable us to build DevTools with version 3 of the manifest file format.
The manifest v3 build of Angular DevTools has been tested on Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
Notably, the Firefox version of Angular DevTools remains as a manifest v2 build. Firefox does not yet support manifest v3 in it's latest stable release. When Firefox makes this transition, a follow up PR will update the Firefox manifest file to version 3.
Because Firefox still needs v2, we need to keep some old v2 APIs around in our background page (service worker in v3) that will execute conditionally based on if the extension was built for v2 or v3. This is determined with the chrome.runtime.getManifest().manifest_version API.

Previously, you could inspect the source code of a component but not a directive. This commit adds functionality to inspect source code for directives as well. Now you will see the inspect icon on the header component of each directive on a selected element.

With the introduction of standalone components, it is no longer guaranteed that getAllAngularRootElements will be available on the global object. This PR removes the dependency on this function so that DevTools can continue to work for Angular applications that use `bootstrapApplication`.

Adds support for TypeScript 4.7. Changes include:
* Bumping the TS version as well as some Bazel dependencies to include https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/pull/3420.
* Adding a backwards-compatibility layer for calls to `updateTypeParameterDeclaration`.
* Making `LView` generic in order to make it easier to type the context based on the usage. Currently the context can be 4 different types which coupled with stricter type checking would required a lot of extra casting all over `core`.
* Fixing a bunch of miscellaneous type errors.
* Removing assertions of `ReferenceEntry.isDefinition` in a few of the language service tests. The field isn't returned by TS anymore and we weren't using it for anything.
* Resolving in error in the language service that was caused by TS attempting to parse HTML files when we try to open them. Previous TS was silently setting them as `ScriptKind.Unknown` and ignoring the errors, but now it throws. I've worked around it by setting them as `ScriptKind.JSX`.
