Paul Gschwendtner 0482b6b4c7 refactor(compiler-cli): update ImportGenerator abstraction for new manager (#54819)
`ImportGenerator` is the abstraction used by the translator functions to
insert imports for `ExternalExpr` in an AST-agnostic way.

This was built specifically for the linker which does not use any of the
complex import managers- but rather re-uses `ngImport` or uses
`ngImport.Bla`.

This commit also switches the linker AST-agnostic generator to follow
the new signatures. This was rather trivial.

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
