Reworks some of the existing compiler APIs to make them easier to use in a schematic and exposes a few new ones to surface information we already had. High-level list of changes:
* `getPotentialImportsFor` now requires a class reference, instead of a `PotentialDirective | PotentialPipe`.
* New `getNgModuleMetadata` method has been added to the type checker.
* New `getPipeMetadata` method has been added to the type checker.
* New `getUsedDirectives` method has been added to the type checker.
* New `getUsedPipes` method has been added to the type checker.
* The `decorator` property was exposed on the `TypeCheckableDirectiveMeta`. The property was already present at runtime, but it wasn't specified on the interface.

The Angular Core and localize package currently use deep imports for
code that is shipped. This is problematic as we want to ship the
compiler-cli as full-ESM. To achieve this we need to use a bundler and
this breaks deep imports.
We use a bundler for the compiler CLI because for full ESM
compatibility, we would need to explicitly add the `.js` extension
to all relative imports. This is very cumbersome and prone to mistakes
so to mitigate this problem in a safe way, we bundle the compiler-cli.
Note: Deep imports continue to exist for the language service as it
bundles the compiler-cli.
