SkyZeroZx 0d1acd0165 feat(forms): support signal-based schemas in validateStandardSchema
Allow `validateStandardSchema()` to consume a computed schema so
validation rules stay in sync when the schema changes over time.

This supports schemas stored in computed signals (e.g. zod schemas that
depend on input signals) and ensures the effective schema updates after
initialization instead of being captured once.

Fixes #66867

Miles Malerba d89a80a970 feat(forms): Ability to manually register a form field binding in signal forms
This PR adds the ability to manually register a binding with the
`FormField` directive. This is useful for a lower-level implementation
that takes the field tree as an `input()` rather than relying on the
automatic binding from `FormUiControl`.

Miles Malerba 29f074a93f fix(forms): Rename signal form [field] to [formField]
This completes the rename started in #66136. `[field]` is too generic of
a selector for the forms system to own, and likely to cause naming
collisions with existing components. Therefore it is being renamed to
`[formField]`

Miles Malerba 348f149e8b feat(forms): pass field directive to class config
Updates signal forms to pass the full `Field` directive to the class
configuration functions, rather than just the state. This allows
developers to take the element as well as the state into consideration
when deciding classes to apply.

Closes #65762

BREAKING CHANGE: The shape of `SignalFormsConfig.classes` has changed

Previously each function in the `classes` map took a `FieldState`. Now
it takes a `Field` directive.

For example if you previously had:
```
provideSignalFormsConfig({
  classes: {
    'my-valid': (state) => state.valid()
  }
})
```

You would need to update to:
```
provideSignalFormsConfig({
  classes: {
    'my-valid': ({state}) => state().valid()
  }
})
```

Miles Malerba ebc5c2b083 feat(forms): redo the signal forms metadata API
This PR makes a number of changes to the metadata API to address design
flaws in the previous API. Some of the changes include:

- Replaces the previous `MetadataKey` and `AggregateMetadataKey` with a
  single unified `MetadataKey` that is used for all metadata.
- The new `MetadataKey` is only defined for fields that explicitly set
  it in their schema logic
- All metadata now has reducer / aggregate behavior
- The new `MetadataKey` has an option to create a managed key which
  wraps the result of its computed aggregate into some other structure
  such as a `Resource` or `linkedSignal`
- There are now two APIs to create metadata keys
  - `createMetadataKey` for pure computed metadata
  - `createManagedMetadataKey` for metadata that manages its computation
    internally

Leon Senft 98ce9a7b17 refactor(forms): use AbortSignal to cancel debounced updates
Add an `AbortSignal` parameter to `Debouncer`. Implementations may

avoiding unnecessary work.

Leon Senft d337cfb68f feat(forms): add debounce() rule for signal forms
The `debounce()` rule allows developers to control when changes to a
form control are synchronized to the form model.

This feature necessitated some changes to `FieldState`:

  * `controlValue` is a new signal property that represents the current
    value of a form field as it appears in its corresponding control.

  * `value` conceptually remains unchanged; however, its value may lag
    behind that of `controlValue` if a `debounce()` rule is applied.

The `debounce()` rule essentially manages when changes to `controlValue` are
synchronized to `value`. The intent is that an expensive or slow
validation rule can react to the debounced `value`, rather than a more
frequently changing `controlValue`.

Directly updating `value` immediately updates `controlValue`, and cancels any
pending debounced updates.

When multiple `debounce()` rules are applied to the same field, the last
currently active rule is used to debounce an update. These rules are
applied to child fields as well, unless they override them with their
own rule.

Leon Senft effccffde0 refactor(core): add framework support for binding form controls (#63773)
Move most of the implementation of the `Control` directive into core
framework instructions. This allows field state changes to be propagated
to their corresponding UI controls directly during execution of a
template update block, instead of relying on `effect()`s to synchronize
each change later during the update (and too late in the case of
required inputs).

* Define a private API in `@angular/core` for signal forms to implement:
  * `ɵControl` for the `Control` directive.
  * `ɵFieldState` for the control's associated `FieldState`.
* Emit specialized instructions when compiling a `[control]` binding:
  * `ɵɵcontrolCreate` sets up the `ɵControl` directive if present,
    determines whether it's bound to a native control element or a
    custom control component, and adds the appropriate event listeners
    to notify the `ɵFieldState` of UI changes.
  * `ɵɵcontrol` propagates changes from `ɵFieldState` properties to their
    corresponding UI control properties (in additional to binding the `control`
    property itself).

Miles Malerba 34dd3f647a refactor(forms): rename Field to FieldTree (#64214)
There are two primary reasons for this renaming:
1. It better reflects the actual nature of the proxy object, namely that
   the form is represented as a tree, and that this object is used for
   navigating the tree structure (while `FieldState` is used for getting
   the state at a particular point in the structure).
2. This frees up the name `Field` to be used for the directive that
   binds a `FieldTree` to a UI control.

Miles Malerba 10ef96adb3 fix(forms): consistent treatment of empty (#63456)
Removes custom handling of emptiness in several of the validators and
replaces it with a common `isEmpty` check. The common empty check
considered the following values to be empty: `null`, `undefined`, `''`,
`false`, `NaN`

Generally most validators should treat an empty value as valid. This
aligns with both the behavior or native HTML validators and reactive
forms validators.

As an example, consider an optional email field. If the email validator
considered empty string to be an invalid email, there would be no way
for the user to not enter it.

There are several exceptions to this rule:
- `required` whose entire purpose is to ensure that the field is *not*
  empty
- `validateStandardSchema` which should subject all values including
  empty ones to the specified standard schema. It is up to the schema to
  decide whether an empty value is valid or not
- `validate`/`validateAsync` which leaves it up to the user's custom
  validation logic to decide if an empty value is valid.
