`RouterTestingModule` is not needed as of v16. Instead, TestBed
automatically provides `MockPlatformLocation` in order to help test
navigations in the application. The location mocks in the
RouterTestingModule aren't necessary anymore.
There doesn't appear to be any real documentation around
`RouterTestingModule` other than the API docs.

This commit updates the `RouterLink` to extend the selector to also include `<a>` and `<area>` elements, which were previously matched by the `RouterLinkWithHref` directive. The code of the directives was merged together (since there was a lot of duplication) and this commit finalizes the merge. The `RouterLinkWithHref` becomes an alias of the `RouterLink` directive.
Now there is no need to import and use the `RouterLinkWithHref` class, the `RouterLink` directive will match any element that has the `routerLink` attribute.
DEPRECATED:
The `RouterLinkWithHref` directive is deprecated, use the `RouterLink` directive instead. The `RouterLink` contains the code from the `RouterLinkWithHref` to handle elements with `href` attributes.

Add wider typings to setter of preserveFragment, skipLocationChange and replaceUrl inputs of routerLink directives and coerce them to boolean
PR Close#47101
The current behavior of `routerLink` for `null` and `undefined` inputs is to treat
the input the same as `[]`. This creates several unresolvable issues with
correctly disabling the links because `commands = []` does _not_ behave the same
as disabling a link. Instead, it navigates to the current page, but will also
clear any fragment and/or query params.
The new behavior of the `routerLink` input will be to completely disable navigation
for `null` and `undefined` inputs. For HTML Anchor elements, this will also mean
removing the `href` attribute.
Fixes#21457Fixes#13980Fixes#31154
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously `null` and `undefined` inputs for `routerLink` were
equaivalent to empty string and there was no way to disable the link's
navigation.
In addition, the `href` is changed from a property `HostBinding()` to an
attribute binding (`HostBinding('attr.href')`). The effect of this
change is that `DebugElement.properties['href']` will now return the
`href` value returned by the native element which will be the full URL
rather than the internal value of the `RouterLink` `href` property.
