In #41106, code was added in angular.io to print info that would help us
investigate and debug a ServiceWorker issue (#28114). Since the fix for
the issue was deployed on October 6th, 2021, the related error rate has
dropped dramatically:

Additionally, there have been no known occurrences or reports of the
issue in the last several months.
The remaining occurrences could be attributed to older versions still
being around on people's devices (due to the ServiceWorker caching) and
other circumstances not related to the ServiceWorker, for which there is
not much we can do. For example, a user could keep a tab open with an
older version of the app, which requests hashed files that no longer
exist on the server. If the ServiceWorker is not activated on such a tab
(either because the browser does not support it or because the user has
disabled it, for example), then it is expected that these requests would
fail.
This commit removes the code that prints ServiceWorker-related debug
info to reduce the payload size of the app.

This commit adds the `isEmpty` method to the `TransferState` class to make it possible to check whether the state is empty or not. This is helpful in situations when the `TransferState` should be serialized and the content is transferred to the client (if the state is empty - certain operations can be omitted).
PR Close#46915
This commit updates the code to include the TransferState providers (used for serialization) into the `ServerModule` instead of having the need to import the `ServerTransferStateModule` separately.
The list of providers in the `ServerTransferStateModule` is now empty and importing it is a noop. This is not a breaking change, since the `ServerModule` must be included anyways to make server rendering work correctly.
PR Close#46899
This commit updates the `TransferState` to make it `providedIn: 'root'`. This makes the entire `BrowserTransferStateModule` module unnecessary, so it got deprecated as well.
The `ServerTransferStateModule` is still retained, but the `renderApplication` function now also includes the necessary tokens to serialize the `TransferState` automatically, so when using the `renderApplication` function, there is no need to include `ServerTransferStateModule` as well.
This change is a part of the ongoing efforts to update the shape of the FW APIs to make them standalone-friendly (so there is no need to import any NgModules).

The implementation of the `DefaultTitleStrategy` was modeled after the
existing strategy patterns in the Router. These patterns were developed
before the `providedIn` syntax for injectables. We can simplify the
model a lot by providing the default in the factory of the abstract
class.
Note that the other strategy patterns aren't touched in this PR due to
how long they've existed. Because they have been there for such a long
time, it's possible there will need to be some adjustments to code
if/when they are refactored to do the same.

The `createApplication` function makes it possible to create an
application instance (represented by the `ApplicationRef`)
without bootstrapping any components. It is useful in the
situations where ones wants to decouple and delay components
rendering and / or render multiple root components in one
application. Angular elements can use this API to create
custom element types with an environment linked to a
created application.

On MacOS, pressing the alt key and another key turns into symbols, and
doesn't match the intended behavior. For example, `keydown.alt.s`
reports instead as `keydown.alt.ß`. We rely on the `key` field and not
the `code` field, which properly reports the code for S in this case.
This change adds support to allow users to specify they want to look at
the `code` field instead of the `key` field within their event string.
Example: `keydown.code.alt.leftshift` would only match the LeftShift and
not the right shift based on code values. It would also allow the user
to specify `keydown.code.alt.keys` to match S instead of ß when alt /
option is pressed on MacOS and would also work on Windows.

This commit performs various refactoring of the TestBed code to better align interfaces and implementation. The implementation class is also renamed from `TestBedRender3` -> `TestBedImpl`, but the public API name has not changed.
Note: as a part of this change, the TestBed interface became more consistent and typings for multiple methods were updated to account for the fact that the TestBed reference is returned. This was always a runtime behavior of TestBed, which was not reflected in few places in type.

This commit adds the `createNgModuleRef` function alias to the public API. The alias is called `createNgModule`.

This change adds the setInput method to the ComponentRef.
Previously users had to call `componentRef.instance['inputName']`
to change inputs of a dynamically created component. This had
several problems:
* OnPush components were not marked for check and thus very
difficult to test;
* input aliasing was not take into account - a property name
on a component could have been different from the actual input
name so setting input properties was fragile;
* manually setting input propertie would NOT trigger the
`NgOnChanges` lifecycle hook.
This modifications unifies `@Input` accross dynamically created
components and the ones referenced in templates. This also opens
doors to other changes: as an example router could use this new
method to set `@Input`s from router params.

`inject()` originated as a private API and was made public to support
`InjectionToken` factories in Ivy. For code-size and performance reasons,
when we code generate `inject()` calls we use a bit field to indicate the
various injection modes (optional, skip-self, etc). However, this doesn't
make for a very nice public API.
This commit introduces an alternative object-based API for options. All 4
flags are supported as `boolean` fields on an options object, and converted
to bit flags internally. If TypeScript can prove that `optional` injection
is not requested, it can narrow the return type and remove the `null` type.
DEPRECATED:
The bit field signature of `inject()` has been deprecated, in favor of the
new options object. Correspondingly, `InjectFlags` is deprecated as well.

The payload size has increased for AIO because we updated to the latest
Angular Framework, CLI and CDK/Material.
After size investigation, the size increase comes from the CDK update
where we now bring in the breakpoint observer class/logic into the
main bundle (it previously was part of a non-measured lazy chunk).
We now use the break point observer to detect high-contrast so it
ends up being loaded as part of the main bundle.

This commit introduces a new API on `EnvironmentInjector` to run a function
in the context of the injector. This makes `inject()` available within the
body of the function to inject dependencies. We expect this functionality to
be very useful for designing ergonomic APIs both in and out of Angular, as
it should allow for a smaller and more functional API style.
Note that it's possible to implement nearly identical functionality in user
code already today:
```typescript
function runInContext<T>(injector: EnvironmentInjector, fn: () => T): T {
const token = new InjectionToken<T>('TOKEN');
const tmpInjector = createEnvironmentInjector([
{provide: token, useFactory: () => fn()},
], injector);
return tmpInjector.get(token);
}
```
The factory provider for `token` in this example runs in the context of the
`tmpInjector`, giving it access to `inject` that can retrieve values from
`injector` as well. This is nearly identical, although because of the child
injector `self` and `skipSelf` injection options don't function correctly.

This commit removes the `Renderer3` experiment which attempted to use the
real DOM API as Angular's renderer. As shown in the diff, having this

Previously, when instantiating a component, Angular would look in the DI
hierarchy for `RendererFactory2`. Any DI tree which rolls up through an
application injector (that is, one created with `BrowserModule`) should be
able to provide this interface. If not found, Angular would switch to the
experimental `Renderer3` mechanism. This switch was designed this way,
because it allowed for the creation of experimental applications where
`RendererFactory2` was not included in the bundle at all.
In this commit, instead of automatically falling back on `Renderer3`-style
rendering, an error is raised instead if `RendererFactory2` is missing from
the DI hierarchy.
