When `@angular/compiler` processes metadata and compiles a definition field,
it might also choose to return statements that are associated with that
definition, and should be included after the type being compiled. Currently,
the linker ignores these statements, as there are none generated that are
relevant in the linking operation.
A challenge to supporting such associated statements is that the linker
operates on "declare" expressions, and replaces those expressions with other
expressions. It does not have the capability to append statements after the
whole type. The linker actually faces this challenge with statements from
the `ConstantPool` as well, and solves this problem by generating an IIFE
expression that executes the statements and then returns the definition
expression.
Previously, an `EmitScope` processed the definition and converted it to an
expression, as well as collected constant statements from a `ConstantPool`.
A special `IifeEmitScope` implementation was used when emitting into a
context where top-level constant statements couldn't be added at all, and
uses the IIFE strategy in this case.
This commit adds blanket support for associated statements to the linker
using this IIFE strategy. The main `EmitScope` now uses the IIFE strategy to
emit associated statements, and `IifeEmitScope` has been renamed to
`LocalEmitScope`. Now, the `LocalEmitScope` represents constant statements
as associated statements to the main `EmitScope` implementation, so they
get included in the IIFE as well.
Tests are adjusted/added to cover this new behavior. This is a refactoring
commit because no live generated code is affected - there are no cases where
associated statements are present in linked definitions today.

As outlined in the previous commit which enabled the `esModuleInterop`
TypeScript compiler option, we need to update all namespace imports
for `typescript` to default imports. This is needed to allow for
TypeScript to be imported at runtime from an ES module.
Similar changes are needed for modules like `semver` where the types incorrectly
suggest named exports that will not exist at runtime when imported from ESM.
This commit refactors all imports to match with the lint rule we have
configured in the previous commit. See the previous commit for more
details on why certain imports have been changed.
A special case are the imports to `@babel/core` and `@babel/types`. For
these a special interop is needed as both default imports, or named
imports break the other module format. e.g default imports would work
well for ESM, but it breaks for CJS. For CJS, the named imports would
only work, but in ESM, only the default export exist. We work around
this for now until the devmode is using ESM as well (which would be
consistent with prodmode and gives us more valuable test results). More
details on the interop can be found in the `babel_core.ts` files (two
interops are needed for both localize/or the compiler-cli).

Currently the compiler has three different classes to represent a "call to something":
1. `MethodCall` - `foo.bar()`
2. `SafeMethodCall` - `foo?.bar()`.
3. `FunctionCall` - Any calls that don't fit into the first two classes. E.g. `foo.bar()()`.
There are a few problems with this approach:
1. It is inconistent with the TypeScript AST which only has one node: `CallExpression`.
2. It means that we have to maintain more code, because the various parts of the compiler need to know about three node types.
3. It doesn't allow us to easily implement some new JS features like safe calls (e.g. `foo.bar?.())`).
These changes rework the compiler so that it produces only one node: `Call`. The new node behaves similarly to the TypeScript `CallExpression` whose `receiver` can be any expression.
There was a similar situation in the output AST where we had an `InvokeMethodExpression` and `InvokeFunctionExpression`. I've combined both of them into `InvokeFunctionExpression`.

For certain generated function calls, the compiler emits a 'PURE' annotation
which informs Terser (the optimizer) about the purity of a specific function
call. This commit expands that system to produce a new Closure-specific
'pureOrBreakMyCode' annotation when targeting the Closure optimizer instead
of Terser.

This commit changes the `PartialComponentLinker` to use the original source
of an external template when compiling, if available, to ensure that the
source-mapping of the final linked code is accurate.
If the linker is given a file-system and logger, then it will attempt
to compute the original source of external templates so that the final
linked code references the correct template source.

This commit adds the basic building blocks for linking partial declarations.
In particular it provides a generic `FileLinker` class that delegates to
a set of (not yet implemented) `PartialLinker` classes.
The Babel plugin makes use of this `FileLinker` providing concrete classes
for `AstHost` and `AstFactory` that work with Babel AST. It can be created
with the following code:
```ts
const plugin = createEs2015LinkerPlugin({ /* options */ });
```
