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]`
(cherry picked from commit 5671f2cc07)
We recently allowed users to have a dynamic input `type` with signal forms, but the logic that infers the value type falls back to `string` even though in theory it can be any of the other types.
These changes expand the inferred type to `string | number | boolean | Date | null` if we detect a dynamic `type` binding.
Currently when we detect a `field` binding on a native element, we treat it as a built-in native control. This might not be the case if it's a pre-existing `ControlValueAccessor` relying on the CVA interop.
These changes try to detect any CVA-like directive on the element and disable the additional type checking if there are any.
Fixes#65468.
Reworks the way we approach type checking of signal forms to be closer to the behavior at runtime. There are a couple of scenarios that we handle:
1. For native controls, we now produce simplified type checking code that looks as follows:
```
var t1 = null! as number | string; // Type depends on the input `type`.
t1 = someField().value();
```
2. For custom controls we generate bindings to the individual inputs, rather than checking conformance against `FormValueControl`/`FormCheckboxControl`. This is closer to the behavior at runtime and it allows us to handle generic directives properly.
Adds some logic that won't report the `value` or `checked` inputs as missing when the `Field` directive is present since it will bind to the inputs implicitly.
Switches to checking against `FormValueControl<any>` instead of `FormValueControl<unknown>` when checking whether custom controls conform to the interface.
Fixes#64946.
By intersecting with `object` instead of `unknown` in the primitive and
`FormControl` cases, we get TypeScript to show nicer type errors that
mention `FieldTree<...>` insetad of `() => FieldState<...>`
