Historically we've had to be VERY cautious about the way we import
things between entry-points. That is because the `ng_package` rule
bundling is subject to silently introducing code duplication, breaking
singletons etc. We've had this surface a couple of times already, and
dev-infra tried to help detect such cases by adding safety analysis into
`ng_package`.
Long-term we want to get to an approach where it's easy to simply share
code between chunks. Precisely, with the upcoming `rules_js` migration,
this will be necessary as we will have different import "guidelines"
that would currently, before this commit, result in code duplication, or
trigger our "safety check/lint".
This commit prepares `ng_package` to support relative imports between
entry-points, so that we only need the safety check for cross-package
imports/exports. The result is that `ng_package`/APF is now smartly able
to generate shared chunks for things that are needed between multiple
entry-points. Yay!
Note that those shared chunks still remain private, and are guarded by
our `package.json` "exports"; so no new public API surface is
exposed.

Speeds up the dev-turnaround by only bundling types when packaging. Currently
bundling occurs for all the `ng_module` targets in devmode.
This has various positive benefits:
* Avoidance of this rather slower operation in development
* Makes APF-built packages also handle types for `ts_library` targets consistently.
* Allows us to ensure APF entry-points have `d.ts` _always_ bundled (working with ESM
module resolution in TypeScript -- currently experimental)
* Allows us to remove the secondary `package.json` files from APF (maybe APF v14? - seems
low-impact). This would clean-up the APF even more and fix resolution issues (like in Vite)

This lets projects like Material change ng_package "bundle index" files to non-conflicting paths
Currently packages like @angular/core ship with the generated metadata
in a path like 'core.js' which overwrites one of the inputs.
Angular material puts the generated file in a path like 'index.js'
Either way these files generated by ng_module rules have the potential
to collide with inputs given by the user, which results in an error.
Instead, give users the freedom to choose a different non-conflicting name.
Also this refactors the ng_package rule, removing the redundant
secondary_entry_points attribute.
Instead, we assume that any ng_module in the deps with a module_name
attribute is a secondary entry point.
