Previously, multiline selectors were being converted into single lines, resulting in sourcemap disruptions due to shifts in line numbers.

Fixes that we didn't have the MathML elements in the schema. Note that we can't discover which tag names are available by looking at globally-available classes, because all MathML elements are `MathMLElement` rather than something like `SVGCircleElement`. As such, I ended up having to hardcode the currently-available tags.
Fixes#55608.

Two-way bindings are meant to represent a property binding to an input and an event binding to an output, e.g. `[(ngModel)]="foo"` represents `[ngModel]="foo" (ngModelChange)="foo = $event"`. Previously due to a quirk in the template parser, we accidentally supported unassignable expressions in two-way bindings.
In #54154 the quirk was fixed, but we kept support or some common expression because of internal usages. Now the internal usages have been cleaned up so the backwards-compatibility code can be deleted.
Externally a migration was added in #54630 that will automatically fix any places that depended on the old behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Angular only supports writable expressions inside of two-way bindings.

Based on some internal feedback, these changes add validations to prevent cases where the `@for` loop variable name is the same as one of the built-in context variables, or when one of the context variables is aliased to the same name as the item.
PR Close#55045
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.

`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.

In one of the earlier commits, the logic that appends `=$event` before parsing two-way bindings was removed and some validation was added to prevent unassignable expressions from being used. This ended up being problematic, because previously the parser was incorrectly allowing some invalid expressions which users came to depend on. For example, it transformed `[(value)]="a && a.b"` to `a && (a.b = $event)`.
These changes add some special cases for the common breakages that came up during the TGP.
PR Close#54154
Currently the listener side two-way listeners are parsed by appending `=$event` to the raw expression. This is problematic, because:
1. It can interfere with other expressions (see #37809).
2. It can lead to confusing error messages because users will see code that they didn't write.
3. It doesn't allow us to further manipulate the expression.
These changes remove the logic that appends `=$event` to resolve the issue. There's also some new logic that checks the expression after it has been parsed to ensure that the result is an assignable expression.
Subsequent commits will update the code that emits the expression to add back the `$event` assignment where it's needed.
PR Close#54154
During the template parsing stage two-way bindings are split up into a property and event binding. All the downstream code treats these binding the same as their one-way equivalents. For some future work we'll have to distinguish between the two so these changes update the `BoundElementProperty.type` and `ParsedEvent.type` to include a `TwoWay` type. All existing call-sites have been updated to treat `TwoWay` the same as `Property`/`Regular`, but more specialized logic will be added in the future.

When working on integrating a new metadata field for inputs, I realized

`R3DirectiveInput`- even improving type safety-ness of e.g. the wrapped
node expressions of transform functions.

When blocks were initially implemented, they were represented as containers in the i18n AST. This is problematic, because block affect the structure of the message.

Previously, autocompletions were not available in two main cases. We correct them.
1. Autocompletions immediately after `@` were usually not working, for example `foo @|`. We fix this by causing the lexer to not consider the `@` part of the text node.
2. Autocompletions such as `@\nfoo`, where a newline follows a bare `@`, were not working because the language service visitor considered us inside the subsequent text node. We fix this by adding a block name span for the block keyword, and special-case whether we are completing inside the name span. If we are, we don't continue to the following text node.
PR Close#52198
A lot of our tests are wrapped in `{}` which serves no purpose, aside from increasing the nesting level and, in some cases, causing confusion. The braces appear to be a leftover from a time when all tests were wrapped in a `function main() {}`. The function declaration was removed in #21053, but the braces remained, presumably because it was easier to search&replace for `function main()`, but not to remove the braces at the same time.
PR Close#52239
Fixes that the compiler was throwing an error if an element tag name is the same as a built-in prototype property (e.g. `constructor` or `toString`). The problem was that we were storing the tag names in an object literal with the `Object` prototype. These changes resolve the issue by creating an object without a prototype.

Updates the Ivy AST to allow for `@switch` blocks to capture nested blocks that are not `@case` and `@default`. These blocks will be used for autocompletion in the language service.
These changes also update the logic for `@switch` and `@if` blocks so that they produce an AST node even if there are errors. The errors will still be surfaced to users, but producing AST nodes allows us to recover parts of the expression later if necessary.

Two key refactors to enable deeper language service support for blocks:
(1) We now generate accurate source spans for the various block types. Additionally, all the top-level source spans for a block are now *inclusive* of all the connected or descending blocks. This helps the language service visit connected blocks.
(2) The language service's template visitor was previously skipping over the AST nodes corresponding to several block types. We are now careful to visit all such nodes.

Adds an `UnknownBlock` node to the Ivy AST to represent blocks that haven't been recognized by the compiler. This will make it easier to integrate blocks into the language service.

Enables the new `@` block syntax by default by removing the `enabledBlockTypes` flags. There are still some internal flags that allow special use cases to opt out of the block syntax, like during XML parsing and when compiling older libraries (see #51979).

Adds support for defining `viewport`, `interaction` and `hover` triggers with no parameters. If the framework encounters such a case, it resolves the trigger to the root element of the `@placeholder` block. Triggers with no parameters have the following restrictions:
1. They have to be placed on an `@defer` block that has an `@placeholder`.
2. The `@placeholder` can only have one root node.
3. The root placeholder node has to be an element.

To further modernize and improve the performance of the i18n digest generation,
The 64-bit aspects of the process now use the native `BigInt` instead of a
custom JavaScript implementation. This removes the need for the big_integer
helper code and associated tests as the code was not used anywhere else in the
framework. Only the `BigInt` constructor, `BigInt.asUintN` function, and
`.toString` function are currently used. `BigInt` literals can unfortunately
not yet be used due to the bazel test devmode setup which compiles the TypeScript
code at an EcmaScript level that does not yet support the literals.
