Kristiyan Kostadinov abdb6e2945 refactor(compiler): allow binder to be created without matcher (#61018)
Currently to create an `R3TargetBinder`, we have to pass some sort of directive matcher, however we also have a couple of use cases where we use the binder to do analysis that's unrelated to directives (e.g. resolving the `@defer` blocks). In these cases having to create a dummy matcher adds some slight overhead and makes the code harder to reason about since it looks like directive matching may be happening.

These changes update the `R3TargetBinder` to allow for `null` to be passed as the directive matcher.

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
