Alex Rickabaugh 38c9f08c8d refactor(core): decouple effects from change detection (#51049)
Previously effects were queued as they became dirty, and this queue was
flushed at various checkpoints during the change detection cycle. The result
was that change detection _was_ the effect runner, and without executing CD,
effects would not execute. This leads a particular tradeoff:

* effects are subject to unidirectional data flow (bad for dx)
* effects don't cause a new round of CD (good/bad depending on use case)
* effects can be used to implement control flow efficiently (desirable)

This commit changes the scheduling mechanism. Effects are now scheduled via
the microtask queue. This changes the tradeoffs:

* effects are no longer limited by unidirectional data flow (easy dx)
* effects registered in the Angular zone will trigger CD after they run
  (same as `Promise.resolve` really)
* the public `effect()` type of effect probably isn't a good building block
  for our built-in control flow, and we'll need a new internal abstraction.

As `effect()` is in developer preview, changing the execution timing is not
considered breaking even though it may impact current users.
