Currently whenever a compliance test case TS file is modified, all
compliance tests in repository are rebuilt in partial compilation mode.
This is inefficient and also slows down local development where one may
use a wildcard to run all test targets inside `/test/compliance/...`.
This commit fixes this.

Previously the input flags were being generated as a reference to an enum member for better readability and under the assumption that minifiers would inline the values. That doesn't appear to be the case so these changes switch to using the literal values instead.

Builds on top of the previous changes to add support for deferred blocks during partial compilation. To do this, the following changes had to be made:
* The metadata passed into `ɵɵngDeclareComponent` has an additional field called `deferBlockDependencies` which has an array of the dependency loading functions for each defer block in the template. During linking, the dependency functions are loaded by matching their template index to the index in the `deferBlockDependencies` array.
* There's a new `ɵɵngDeclareClassMetadataAsync` function that is created for components that have deferred dependencies. It gets transpiled to `setClassMetadataAsync` and works in the same way by capturing a dependency loading function and setting the metadata after the dependencies are resolved. It also has some extra fields for capturing the version which are standard in linker-generated code.
* Deferred import statements are now stripped in partial compilation mode, similar to full compilation.

Previously only the first branch of an `if` block was captured for content projection. This was done because of some planned refactors in the future. Since we've decided not to apply those refactors to conditionals, these changes update the compiler to capture each branch individually for content projection purposes.

Currently when aliasing a `for` loop variable with `let`, we replace the variable's old name with the new one. Since users have found this to be confusing, these changes switch to a model where the variable is available both under the original name and the new one.
Fixes#52528.

Previously we assumed that if a `for` loop tracking function is in the form of `someMethod($index, $item)`, it will be pure so we didn't pass the parameter to bind the context to it. This appears to be risky, because we don't know if the method is trying to access `this`.
These changes play it safe by always binding method-based tracking functions.
Fixes#53628.

Updates the instruction generation for two-way bindings to only emit the `twoWayBindingSet` call when writing to template variables. Since template variables are constants, it's only allowed to write to them when they're signals. Non-signal values are flagged during template type checking.

Many acceptance tests define goldens for both `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` and Template Pipeline. All such tests have had the TDB golden files removed, and the corresponding expectations adjusted.
PR Close#54757
`TemplateDefinitionBuilder` is the legacy template compiler, and was replaced by Template Pipeline as the default in v17.3.
This PR attempts to delete `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`, `ExpressionConverter`, and various helpers (i18n context, style builder, property visitors, etc).
Consider this a first pass: a lot of code has not yet been deleted (e.g. old TDB-specific test cases), and I'm sure I have missed additional helper code.

This commit replaces `fake_core` with the real `@angular/core`
output. See previous commit for reasons.
Overall, this commit:
* Replaces references of `fake_core`
* Fixes tests that were testing Angular compiler detection that _would_
already be flagged by type-checking of TS directly. We keep these
tests for now, and add `@ts-ignore` to verify the Angular checks, in
case type checking is disabled in user applications- but it's worth
considering to remove these tests. Follow-up question/non-priority.
* Adds `@ts-ignore` to the tests for `defer` 1P because the property is
marked as `@internal` and now is (correctly) causing failures in the
compiler test environment.
* Fixes a couple of tests with typos, wrong properties etc that
previously weren't detected! A good sign.

This commit addresses a problem with PR #53695 that introduced support for default imports,
where the actual dynamic import used in the defer loading function continued to use the
symbol name, instead of `.default` for the dynamic import. This issue went unnoticed in the
testcase because a proper instance was being generated for the `ɵsetClassMetadataAsync` function,
but not the generated dependency loader function.

Currently we have two fake copies of `@angular/core` in the compiler tests which can be out of sync and cause inconsistent tests. These changes reuse a single copy instead.

Currently, when two components are named `TestComponent`, and both would
use e.g. control flow. Templates would be generated by the compiler and
those would conflict at runtime because the names for the template
functions are not ensured to be unique.
This seems like a more general problem that could be tackled in the
future in the template pipeline by always using the `ConstantPool`, but
for now, we should be good already, given us ensuring the `baseName`'s are
always unique.

This commit separates `InputSignal` for input signals with transforms.
The reason being that most of the time, signal inputs are not using
transforms and the generics are rather confusing.
Especially for users with inferred types displayed in their IDEs, the
input signal types are seemingly complex, even if no transform is used.
For this reason, we are introducing a new type called
`InputSignalWithTransform`. This type will be used for inputs with
transforms, while non-transform inputs just use `InputSignal`.
A notable fact is that `InputSignal` extends `InputSignalWithTransform`,
with the "identity transform". i.e. there is no transform. This allows
us to share the code for input signals. In practice, we don't expect
users to pass around `InputSignal`'s anyway.

Previously, defer deps fns names were only prefixed with the component name, meaning that distinct deps fns in the same component would produce a name collision. Now, we take into account the entire template function name when naming inner deps fns.

This commit adds compliance tests to ensure that the generated output of
signal-based queries matches our expectation.
Note: collapsing query advance instructions is not implemented yet.
PR Close#53978
This commit introduces the compiler output generation for signal-based
queries. Signal-based queries will have new creation-mode instructions
and update instructions to advance the current query indices in the
global shared context.
An output like the following is the expected output for signal-based
queries:
```
i0.ɵɵdefineComponent({
viewQuery: function App_Query(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
i0.ɵɵviewQuery(ctx.d, _c0, 5);
i0.ɵɵviewQuerySignal(ctx.ds1, _c0, 5);
i0.ɵɵviewQuerySignal(ctx.ds2, _c0, 5);
}
if (rf & 2) {
let _t;
// only change-detected queries need explicit refresh
i0.ɵɵqueryRefresh(_t = i0.ɵɵloadQuery()) && (ctx.d = _t.first);
// we bump up current query index by 2 positions since there are 2 signal-based queries
i0.ɵɵqueryAdvance(2);
}
…
},
…
});
```
Note: For now, the collapsing of multiple advance instructions is not
implemented. This will be a follow-up.
Note 2: A couple of query helpers are now in their own file. This makes
it easier to focus on query-specific compiler code. The new function is
called `createQueryCreateCall`, which is a modified variant of the
existing function that previously only generated query parameters.

This commit changes the `HasTransform` flag to be only concerned with
decorator inputs. This allows us to automatically detect signal input
transforms without reliance on the flag, resulting in less complexity in
the compiler (as outlined in the design doc) and various other places,
while it also allows us to simplify JIT support for signal inputs
because there would be no need to capture the "hasTransform" state in
the decorator so that JIT can generate the according input flags.
`isSignal` will still persist as an input flag to allow for monomorphic
and highly efficient distinguishing at runtime, whether an input is
signal based or not. JIT transform will also need to propagate this
information to the runtime somehow.

In some cases, the input files for a partial output generation
compliance tests may be invalid and lead to compilation errors.
The golden partial would be silently generated with the remaining
test cases. Instead of hiding errors, we will now print these and
cause the script to fail properly.
Note that the error logging is pretty minimalistic, but it's sufficient.

We generate `advance` instructions before most update instructions and the majority of `advance` calls are advancing by one. We can save some bytes for the most common case by omitting the parameter for `advance(1)` altogether.
PR Close#53845
Instead of computing the bit input flags at compile-time and inling
the final bit flag number, we will use the `InputFlags` enum directly.
This is a little more code in the compiler side, but will allow us to
have better debuggable development code, and also prevents problems
where runtime flag bitmasks differ from the compiler flag bitmasks.
This is in practice a noop for optimized applications as the enum values
would be inlined anyway. This matches existing compiler emit for e.g.
change detection strategy, or view encapsulation enums.

The linker compliance tests were disabled with a Babel update and
nobody realized for quite a while, via
https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/49914.
As we've came across this lost coverage, which also is quite
impactful as all libraries depend on linked output- I've took initiative
to debug the root cause as there was no follow-up.
https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/51647.
It turned out to be a highly complex issue that is non-trivial to fix,
but at least we should try to resurrect the significant portion of test
coverage by still running the linker tests- avoiding regressions, or
unexpected issues (like with defer being developed). We can work on
re-enabling and fixing source-maps separately.

The linker compliance tests did not run for a while. There were a couple
of new tests that were not passing as this wasn't flagged on CI. This commit fixes this.
Fortunately there was no problematic code that did indicate issues with linking.
In the follow-up commit, we fix the compliance test infrastructure to
re-enable linker testing..
One clear issue is still that the defer blocks are not handled properly
in linked output- hence making defer not actually "lazy" for compiled
libraries. This needs to be handled separately by the framework team.
PR Close#53571
This commit introduces a new enum for capturing additional metadata
about inputs. Called `InputFlags`. These will be built up at compile
time and then propagated into the runtime logic, in a way that does
not require additional lookup dictionaries data structures, or
additional memory allocations for "common inputs" that do not have any flags.
The flags will incorporate information on whether an input is signal
based. This can then be used to avoid megamorphic accesses when such
input is set- as we'd not need to check the input field value. This also
avoids cases where an input signal may be used as initial value for an
input (as we'd not incorrectly detect the input as a signal input then).
The new metadata emit will be useful for incorporating additional
metadata for inputs, such as whether they are required etc (although
required inputs are a build-time only construct right now- but this is a
good illustration of why input flags can be useful). An alternative
could have been to have an additional boolean entry for signal inputs,
but allocating a number with more flexible input flags seems more future
proof and more reasonable andreadable.

signal

In #52931, Kristiyan fixed a TemplateDefinitionBuilder bug in which derived alias variables in for loops (`$even`, `$first`, etc) were referring to the wrong level of nested `@for` block. (These variables are unique because they become inlined expressions, and are not "real" context variables.) He fixed this by appending level information to the generated alias name.
Template Pipeline actually suffered from the same bug. We fix it in a very similar way -- in particular, whenever these derived context variables are used, we make them depend on versions of `$index` and `$count` that have been suffixed with the xref of the enclosing repeater.
I have added a few more pipeline goldens, because we are not quite as clever as TDB about only generating the duplicate suffixed index and count variables when inside nested loops. This is fine, since in the long run, we want to refactor it more fundamentally.
I have also added a TODO to fix this more rigorously. In particular, it would be nice if we had proper support for shadowed variables, as well as unlimited levels of variables depending on one another.

Template pipeline previously mangled CSS property names like

today.

The way we were handling ICU placeholders was not compatible with using
interpolations on attributes of elements inside the ICU. This change
refactors the handling of ICU placeholders and unifies the way
expression and tag placeholders work inside ICUs.
The new approach modifies the ingest logic to add the placeholder on to
the TextOp rather than the TextInterpolationOp. This is because, in
ICUs, we may need multiple i18n expressions created from the
interpolation expressions to roll up into the same placeholder. ICUs
essentially do the interpolation at compile time, combining the static
strings with special placeholder strings that represent the expression
values.

Consider a case when an explicit `this` read is inside a template with a context that also provides the variable name being read:
```
<ng-template let-a>{{this.a}}</ng-template>
```
Clearly, `this.a` should refer to the class property `a`. However, in today's Angular, `this.a` will refer to `let-a` on the template context.
Amazingly, both TemplateDefinitionBuilder and the Typecheck block have the same bug, and are consistent with each other! This is because `ImplicitReceiver` extends `ThisReceiver` in the parser AST, which is an insane gotcha.
In this commit, I patch the template pipeline to emulate this behavior as well.
To actually fix this nastiness, we have to:
- Update `ingest.ts` in the Template Pipeline (see the corresponding comment)
- Check `type_check_block.ts` in the Typecheck block code (see the corresponding comment)
- Turn off legacy TemplateDefinitionBuilder
- Fix g3, and release in a major version

`ng-content` elements, and thus their corresponding projection instructions, can have many attributes on them. Some of these attributes may result in special behavior. For example, `ngProjectAs` and `i18n-foo` both result in special const collection, into the approprate BindingKind slot in the const array. Additionally, `i18n-foo` needs to recieve all the additional i18n attribute processing.
We solve this by subjecting `ng-content` attributes to all the same pipeline logic that applies to attributes on elements, and then allow the element const collection phase to collect them.

For regular templates, any listener will have its name const collected into the bindings section of the element consts.
