BREAKING CHANGE:
This commit deprecates `ng-reflect-*` attributes and updates the runtime to stop producing them by default. Please refactor application and test code to avoid relying on `ng-reflect-*` attributes.
To enable a more seamless upgrade to v20, we've added the `provideNgReflectAttributes()` function (can be imported from the `@angular/core` package), which enables the mode in which Angular would be producing those attribites (in dev mode only). You can add the `provideNgReflectAttributes()` function to the list of providers within the bootstrap call.

Instead of stabilizing the TestBed.flushEffects() API we intend to
replace it with the tick() method (equivalent of ApplicationRef.tick().
The reasoning here is that we prefer tests running the entire
synchronization process (as in production apps) instead of invoking
parts of the synchronization process in a way that would naver happen
in a running application.

This commit adds a provider that installs listeners on the browser
window to forward unhandled promise rejections and uncaught errors to
the `ErrorHandler`. This is useful for both ZoneJS and Zoneless
applications. For apps using ZoneJS, errors can reach the window when
they happen outside the Angular Zone. For Zoneless apps, any errors not
explicitly caught by the framework can reach the window. Without this
provider, these errors would otherwise not be reported to
`ErrorHandler`.
We will/should consider adding this provider to apps by default in the
cli. In addition, it should be mentioned in the (to be created)
documentation page on error handling in Angular.

With the changes in #59573, `resource` can now define a `stream` rather than a `loader`.
In the same PR, `rxResource` was updated to leverage this new functionality to handle multiple responses from the underlying observable,
rather than just the first one as it was previously.
This commit renames the `loader` option of `rxResource` into `stream` to be better aligned with its new behavior.
The previous version is temporarily kept and marked as deprecated to help migrating the current usage.
Before
```
usersResource = rxResource({
request: () => ...,
loader: ({ request }) => ...
});
```
After
```
usersResource = rxResource({
request: () => ...,
stream: ({ request }) => ...
});

This PR marks `PendingTasks` as stable, though the `run` function

This commit adds a flag `forceSyncFirstEmit` which opts in to the pending

marked deprecated.

This allows `ng.getDirectiveMetadata` to be implemented by Wiz and ACX with subtly different shapes to match the nuances of those frameworks.
Existing usage of `{Component,Directive}DebugMetadata` was moved over to `Angular{Component,Directive}DebugMetadata` as appropriate, since the implementation of `ng` in `@angular/core` is specific to Angular. Only the types support Wiz and ACX.
I opted to merge `ComponentDebugMetadata` and `DirectiveDebugMetadata` into a single type of all the frameworks including both components and directives (recall that components extend directives). The reasoning for this is because Wiz does not support directives (you can kind of think of "Wiz Directive" as an abstract class extended by "Wiz Components"). I felt that a `DirectiveDebugMetadata` containing only Angular and ACX types would be a bit of a trap and lead to bugs when used. It's safer to just have the single type containing all the possible results from `ng.getDirectiveMetadata`.
I also chose to leave the `ng` type as is internally, since `@angular/core` implements a specific concrete version of it narrowed to Angular types. Separately I defined an expanded `FrameworkAgnosticGlobalUtils` which redefines `ng.getDirectiveMetadata` to include Wiz and ACX. We want this type to exist in the Angular GitHub repo so it can be referenced as a common primitive across all three frameworks. This is sufficient for now, however longer term we will likely want to actually manually define the function types in this framework-agnostic interface and make Angular's version properly implement it rather than extend and overwrite Angular's type.

This commit removes the previously added `rejectErrors` option from
`toSignal` which was meant to create similar behavior to what happens
with unhandled errors in `AsyncPipe`.
This option promotes unhandled exceptions and attaches behaviors that we
do not believe are desirable as an option offered by the framework:
* Unhandled errors that are thrown lose the context of where the error
ocurred. Throwing the error where the signal is read allows error
handling to be performed at the signal's usage location
* With this feature, the value of the signal remains set to the initial
value or the previous successful value coming out of the `Observable`.
We do not feel this is appropriate implicit behavior but should be an
explicit choice by the application. Signals are built to represent
state. When an observable stream is converted to a stateful
representation, there should be a choice made about what state should
be presented when an error occurs
* If an error occurs but the signal value is never read in its error
state, this is not an application state error that should result in an
unhandled exception.
* While Angular does not have error boundaries today, there is likely to
be investigation in the near future to address increased risk of
errors thrown from signals such as this in templates. Without
pre-designing any specifics, it is possible that this type of feature
would require the error to be thrown from the signal. We are subsequently
not prepared to commit to stabilizing the `toSignal` API with the
`rejectErrors` option and its current behavior.
Developers that desire similar behavior to `rejectErrors` have several
options, the simplest of which would be something similar to
`toSignal(myStream.pipe(catchError(() => EMPTY)))`.

Builds on the changes from #60137 to add support for two-way bindings on dynamically-created components. Example usage:
```typescript
import {createComponent, signal, twoWayBinding} from '@angular/core';
const value = signal('');
createComponent(MyCheckbox, {
bindings: [
twoWayBinding('value', value),
],
});

Instead of relying on Microsoft's API extractor for `d.ts` bundling,
we are switching to Rollup-based `.d.ts` bundling.
This allows us to support code spliting, even for `.d.ts` files,
allowing for relative imports to be used between entry-points, without
ending up duplicating `.d.ts` definitions in two files. This would otherwise cause
problems with assignability of types.
It also nicely integrates into our existing rollup configuration, and
overall simplifies the `ng_package` rule even further!
Notably `tsup` also uses this rollup plugin, and it seems to work well.
Keep in mind that Microsoft's API extractor is pretty hard to integrate,
caused many problems in the past, and isn't capable of code splitting.
This aligns our d.ts bundling with the .mjs bundling (great alignment).

Reworks the `InputBinding` and `OutputBinding` functionality to be in object literals constructed in functions, rather than classes, because it seems like Terser was having a hard time tree shaking the classes when the functions weren't used.
PR Close#60137
Adds the new `outputBinding` function that allows users to listen to outputs on dynamically-created components in a similar way to templates. For example, here we create an instance of `MyCheckbox` and listen to its `onChange` event:
```ts
interface CheckboxChange {
value: string;
}
createComponent(MyCheckbox, {
bindings: [
outputBinding<CheckboxChange>('onChange', event => console.log(event.value))
],
});
```
Note that while it has always been possible to listen to events like this by getting a hold of of the instance and subscribing to it, there are a few key differences:
1. `outputBinding` behaves in the same way as if the event was bound in a template which comes with some behaviors like forwarding errors to the `ErrorHandler` and marking the view as dirty.
2. With `outputBinding` the listeners will be cleaned up automatically when the component is destroyed.
3. `outputBinding` accounts for host directive outputs by binding to them through the host. E.g. if the `onChange` event above was coming from a host directive, `outputBinding` would bind to it automatically.
Currently `outputBinding` is available only in `createComponent`, `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` and `ComponentFactory.create`, but it will serve as a base for APIs in the future.
PR Close#60137
Calling `setInput` while the component already has an `inputBinding` active can lead to inconsistent state. These changes add an error that will be thrown if that's the case.
PR Close#60137
Adds the ability to bind to inputs on dynamically-created components, either by targeting the component itself or one of its directives. The new API looks as follows:
```ts
const value = signal(123);
createComponent(MyComp, {
// Bind the value `'hello'` to `someInput` of `MyComp`.
bindings: [inputBinding('someInput', () => 'hello')],
directives: [{
type: MyDir,
// Bind the `value` signal to the `otherInput` of `MyDir`.
bindings: [inputBinding('otherInput', value)]
}]
});
```
This behavior overlaps with `ComponentRef.setInput`, with a few key differences:
1. `setInput` sets the value on *all* inputs whereas `inputBinding` only targets the specified directive and its host directives. This makes it easier to know which directive you're targeting.
2. `inputBinding` is executed as if it's in a template, making it consistent with how bindings behave for selector-matched components, whereas `setInput` executes outside the lifecycle of the component.
3. It resolves a long-standing issue with `setInput` where it wasn't possible to set the initial value of an input before the first change detection run.
Currently `inputBinding` is used only for `createComponent`, `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` and `ComponentFactory.create`, however it is going to be base for more APIs in the future.

This commit ensures that rejections of the promise of the async function
passed to `PendingTasks.run` are not dangling and get reported to the
application error handler. This prevents what would likely be a common
dangling promise that could end up crashing the node process.
BREAKING CHANGE: `PendingTasks.run` no longer returns the result of the
async function. If this behavior is desired, it can be re-implemented
manually with the `PendingTasks.add`. Be aware, however, that promise rejections
will need to be handled or they can cause the node process to shut down
when using SSR.

The refactoring of `resource()` to use `linkedSignal()` introduced the
potential for a race condition where resources would get stuck and not update
in response to a request change. This occurred under a specific condition:
1. The request changes while the resource is still in loading state
2. The resource resolves the previous load before its `effect()` reacts to the
request change.
In practice, the window for this race is small, because the request change in
(1) will schedule the effect in (2) immediately. However, it's easier to
trigger this sequencing in tests, especially when one resource depends on the
output of another.
To fix the race condition, the resource impl is refactored to track the request
in its state, and ignore resolved values or streams for stale requests. This
refactoring actually makes the resource code simpler and easier to follow as
well.
