When defer blocks have a reference-based trigger without a parameter, we infer it from the placeholder block. This requires some validations like ensuring that there's only one element in the placeholder. The validations are currently implemented at the parser level which can affect tools like linters that need to pass `preserveWhitespaces: true` in order to get accurate source mappings.
These changes move the validations into the template type checker so that they still get flagged, but much later in the process. Moving them over involves a bit more work, because the template type checker also sets `preserveWhitespaces: true`.
Fixes#61725.

Currently we don't defer any symbols that have references outside of the `import` statement and the `imports` array. This is a bit too aggressive, because it's possible that the symbol is only used for types (e.g. `viewChild<SomeCmp>('ref')`) which will be stripped when emitting to JS.
These changes expand the logic so that references inside type nodes aren't considered.
**Note:** one special case is when the symbol used in constructor-based DI (e.g. `constructor(someCmp: SomeCmp)`, because these constructors will be compiled to `directiveInject` calls. We don't need to worry about them, because the compiler introduces an addition `import * as i1 from './some-cmp';` import that it uses to refer to the symbol.
Fixes#55991.

This commit replaces `fake_core` with the real `@angular/core`
output. See previous commit for reasons.
Overall, this commit:
* Replaces references of `fake_core`
* Fixes tests that were testing Angular compiler detection that _would_
already be flagged by type-checking of TS directly. We keep these
tests for now, and add `@ts-ignore` to verify the Angular checks, in
case type checking is disabled in user applications- but it's worth
considering to remove these tests. Follow-up question/non-priority.
* Adds `@ts-ignore` to the tests for `defer` 1P because the property is
marked as `@internal` and now is (correctly) causing failures in the
compiler test environment.
* Fixes a couple of tests with typos, wrong properties etc that
previously weren't detected! A good sign.
