Andrew Scott 0abb67af59 feat(router): allow guards and resolvers to be plain functions (#46684)
The current Router APIs require guards/resolvers to be present in the DI tree. This is because we want to treat all guards/resolvers equally and some may require dependencies. This requirement results in quite a lot of boilerplate for guards. Here are two examples:

```
const MY_GUARD = new InjectionToken<any>('my_guard');
…
providers: {provide: MY_GUARD, useValue: () => window.someGlobalState}
…
const route = {path: 'somePath', canActivate: [MY_GUARD]}
```

```
@Injectable({providedIn: 'root'})
export class MyGuardWithDependency {
  constructor(private myDep: MyDependency) {}

  canActivate() {
    return myDep.canActivate();
  }
}
…
const route = {path: 'somePath', canActivate: [MyGuardWithDependency]}
```

Notice that even when we want to write a simple guard that has no dependencies as in the first example, we still have to write either an InjectionToken or an Injectable class.

With this commit router guards and resolvers can be plain old functions.
 For example:

```
const route = {path: 'somePath', component: EditCmp, canDeactivate: [(component: EditCmp) => !component.hasUnsavedChanges]}
```

Additionally, these functions can still use Angular DI with `inject` from `@angular/core`.

```
const route = {path: 'somePath', canActivate: [() => inject(MyDependency).canActivate()]}
```
