This update enhances the encoding handling of request bodies to generate the necessary cache key for transfer cache functionality.
Closes#54956

`provideClientHydration()` accepts new `HydrationFeature` : `HttpTransferCacheOptions`.
`withHttpTransferCacheOptions` accepts an option object:
* `includeHeaders` : list of headers entries to keep in the cache with the request
* `filter` a callback to determine if a request should be cached
* `includePostRequests`: to include POST requests in the allowed methods
Implements some of the features requested in #50117

This commit introduces a new `HttpBackend` implentation which makes requests using the fetch API
This feature is a developer preview and is opt-in.
It is enabled by setting the providers with `provideHttpClient(withFetch())`.
NB: The fetch API is experimental on Node but available without flags from Node 18 onwards.

A long-requested feature for HttpClient is the ability to store and retrieve
custom metadata for requests, especially in interceptors. This commit
implements this functionality via a new context object for requests.
Each outgoing HttpRequest now has an associated "context", an instance of
the HttpContext class. An HttpContext can be provided when making a request,
or if not then an empty context is created for the new request. This context
shares its lifecycle with the entire request, even across operations that
change the identity of the HttpRequest instance such as RxJS retries.
The HttpContext functions as an expando. Users can create typed tokens as instances of HttpContextToken, and
read/write a value for the key from any HttpContext object.
This commit implements the HttpContext functionality. A followup commit will
add angular.io documentation.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.

Previously, HttpClient used the overly clever test "body || null"
to determine when a body parameter was provided. This breaks when
the valid bodies '0' or 'false' are provided.
This change tests directly against 'undefined' to detect the presence
of the body parameter, and thus correctly allows falsy values through.

HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
