Consider the following scenario:
1. A TS file with a component and templateUrl exists
2. The template file does not exist.
3. First build: ngtsc will properly report the error, via a FatalDiagnosticError
4. The template file is now created
5. Second build: ngtsc still reports the same errror.
ngtsc persists the analysis data of the component and never invalidates
it when the template/style file becomes available later.
This breaks incremental builds and potentially common workflows
where resource files are added later after the TS file is created. This
did surface as an issue in the Angular CLI yet because Webpack requires
users to re-start the process when a new file is added. With ESBuild
this will change and this also breaks incremental builds with
Bazel/Blaze workers.
To fix this, we have a few options:
* Invalidate the analysis when e.g. the template file is missing. Never
caching it means that it will be re-analyzed on every build iteration.
* Add the resource dependency to ngtsc's incremental file graph. ngtsc
will then know via `host.getModifiedResources` when the file becomes
available- and fresh analysis of component would occur.
The first approach is straightforward to implement and was chosen here.
The second approach would allow ngtsc to re-use more of the analysis
when we know that e.g. the template file still not there, but it
increases complexity unnecessarily because there is no **single**
obvious resource path for e.g. a `templateUrl`. The URL is attempted
to be resolved using multiple strategies, such as TS program root dirs,
or there is support for a custom resolution through
`host.resourceNameToFileName`.
It would be possible to determine some candidate paths and add them to
the dependency tracker, but it seems incomplete given possible external
resolvers like `resourceNameToFileName` and also would likely not have
a sufficient-enough impact given that a broken component decorator is
not expected to remain for too long between N incremental build
iterations.

In #48898 the `isForwardRef` flag was added to indicate whether a reference should be wrapped in a `forwardRef`.

NgModules can re-export other NgModules, which transitively includes all traits exported by the re-exported NgModule. We want to be able to suggest *all* re-exports of a component when trying to auto-import it.
Previously, we used an approximation when importing from NgModules: we looked at a Component's metadata, and just imported the declaring NgModule. However, this is not technically correct -- the declaring NgModule it is not necessarily the same one that exports it for the current scope. (Indeed, there could be multiple re-exports!) As a replacement, I have implemented a more general solution.
This PR introduces a new class on the template type checker, called `NgModuleIndex`. When queried, it conducts a depth-first-search over the NgModule import/export graph, in order to find all NgModules anywhere in the current dependency graph, as well as all exports of those NgModules. This allows the language service to suggest all of the re-exports, in addition to the original export.

Since we generate a `.mjs` file as entry-point for jasmine tests,
a couple of issues prevented the transitive dependencies from
bootstrap targets to be brought in (causing resolution errors):
1. The `_files` (previously `_esm2015`) targets are no longer needed,
and they also miss all the information on runfiles.
2. The aspect for computing linker mappings does not respect the
`bootstrap` attribute from the `spec_entrypoint` so we manually
add the extract ESM output targets (this rule works with the aspect
and forwards linker mappings).

For every `ts_library` target we expose a shorthand that grants
access to the JS files because `DefaultInfo` of a ts library

higher target these days. Additionally we no longer use the devmode
output but rather use the prodmode output which has the explicit

For standalone components it may be beneficial to group multiple declarations
into a single array, that can then be imported all at once in `Component.imports`.
If this array is declared within a library, however, would the AOT compiler
need to extract the contents of the array from the declaration file. This
requires that the array is constructed using an `as const` cast, which results
in a readonly tuple declaration in the generated .d.ts file of the library:
```ts
export declare const DECLARATIONS: readonly [typeof StandaloneDir];
```
The partial evaluator logic did not support this syntax, so this pattern was
not functional when a library is involved. This commit adds the necessary
logic in the static interpreter to evaluate this type at compile time.

The stricter checks under `strictInjectionParameters` in Angular 15 now enforce that
an inherited constructor must be compatible with DI, based on whether all parameters
are valid injection tokens. There is an issue when the constructor is inherited from
a class in a declaration file though, as information on the usage of `@Inject()` is
not present within a declaration file. This means that this stricter check cannot be
accurately performed, resulting in false positives.
This commit disables the stricter check to behave the same as it did prior to
Angular 15, therefore avoiding the false positive.

In AOT compilations, the `strictInjectionParameters` compiler option can
be enabled to report errors when an `@Injectable` annotated class has a
constructor with parameters that do not provide an injection token, e.g.
only a primitive type or interface.
Since Ivy it's become required that any class with Angular behavior
(e.g. the `ngOnDestroy` lifecycle hook) is decorated using an Angular
decorator, which meant that `@Injectable()` may need to have been added
to abstract base classes. Doing so would then report an error if
`strictInjectionParameters` is enabled, if the abstract class has an
incompatible constructor for DI purposes. This may be fine though, as
a subclass may call the constructor explicitly without relying on
Angular's DI mechanism.
Therefore, this commit excludes abstract classes from the
`strictInjectionParameters` check. This avoids an error from being
reported at compile time. If the constructor ends up being used by
Angular's DI system at runtime, then the factory function of the
abstract class will throw an error by means of the `ɵɵinvalidFactory`
instruction.
In addition to the runtime error, this commit also analyzes the inheritance
chain of an injectable without a constructor to verify that their inherited
constructor is valid.
BREAKING CHANGE: Invalid constructors for DI may now report compilation errors
When a class inherits its constructor from a base class, the compiler may now
report an error when that constructor cannot be used for DI purposes. This may
either be because the base class is missing an Angular decorator such as
`@Injectable()` or `@Directive()`, or because the constructor contains parameters
which do not have an associated token (such as primitive types like `string`).
These situations used to behave unexpectedly at runtime, where the class may be
constructed without any of its constructor parameters, so this is now reported
as an error during compilation.
Any new errors that may be reported because of this change can be resolved either
by decorating the base class from which the constructor is inherited, or by adding
an explicit constructor to the class for which the error is reported.

Previously when a file was being analyzed to determine if a shim should
be generated, up to two calls to the host `fileExists` function per file
per generator were made. In the default host, each `fileExists` call made
two underlying file system calls. Following these calls, the file was then
read via `getSourceFile`. However, `getSourceFile` will return `undefined`
if the requested file does not exist. As a result, `getSourceFile` can be
used directly to request both potential file names and leverage the return
value to determine if the file does not exist. This avoids the need to call
`fileExists` at all.

When the Angular compiler emits a diagnostic in a template file, it
forces TypeScript to parse that template. Templates are not TypeScript,
so this parse finds a bunch of parsing errors, which Angular then
ignores and we show the diagnostic anyways because we have more context.
This can lead to strange behavior in TypeScript because templates are so
weird that it can break the parser and crash the whole compiler.
For example, certain Angular templates can encounter failures fixed by
microsoft/TypeScript#45987, which are not easily debuggable and require
a TS upgrade to fix.
This commit introduces logic to handle the error gracefully, by falling
back to report the template error on the component class itself. The
diagnostic is extended to still reference the template location and
includes the failure's stack trace, to allow the parsing failure to be
reported to TypeScript (as parsing should in theory not cause a crash).

This is the compile-time implementation of the `hostDirectives` feature plus a little bit of runtime code to illustrate how the newly-generated code will plug into the runtime. It works by creating a call to the new `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` feature whenever a directive has a `hostDirectives` field. Afterwards `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` will patch a new function onto the directive definition that will be invoked during directive matching.
For example, if we take the following definition:
```ts
@Directive({
hostDirectives: [HostA, {directive: HostB, inputs: ['input: alias']}]
})
class MyDir {}
```
Will compile to:
```js
MyDir.ɵdir = ɵɵdefineComponent({
features: [ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature([HostA, {
directive: HostB,
inputs: {
input: "alias"
}
}])]
});
```
The template type checking is implemented during directive matching by adding the host directives applied on the host to the array of matched directives whenever the host is matched in a template.
