Dylan Hunn ef32b5322e refactor(compiler): Delete TemplateDefinitionBuilder and helpers (#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.

Angular Linker

This package contains a FileLinker and supporting code to be able to "link" partial declarations of components, directives, etc in libraries to produce the full definitions.

The partial declaration format allows library packages to be published to npm without exposing the underlying Ivy instructions.

The tooling here allows application build tools (e.g. CLI) to produce fully compiled components, directives, etc at the point when the application is bundled. These linked files can be cached outside node_modules so it does not suffer from problems of mutating packages in node_modules.

Generally this tooling will be wrapped in a transpiler specific plugin, such as the provided Babel plugin.

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/linker/test
