`HttpClient` uses the `PendingTasks` service to contribute to
application stability. This was added in v16 to support SSR without
relying on an infinite `setTimeout` with ZoneJS like it did pre-v16.
Prior to version 16, this was also only done on the server and did not
affect clients or unit tests (https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/28c68f709cdc930e12bac51a266e7bf790656034).
Today, `PendingTasks` contribute to `ApplicationRef.isStable` but do not
contribute to the stability of `ComponentFixture`. This divergence in
stability behavior was not intended and we plan to make these two
stability indicators the same again, like they were when it was solely
based on the state of the Zone.
By aligning the two behaviors again, this would include all pending
tasks in the stability of fixtures. After investigation, this seems
likely to be a pretty large breaking change. Tests appear to quite often use
`await fixture.whenStable` when there are unfinished requests that have
not been mocked or flushed.
This change prevents request in `HttpClient` from contributing to
stability through the `PendingTasks` automatically but only when using
`HttpClientTesting`. In this scenario, requests need to be expected and
flushed manually for them to resolve. When the test backend and controllers
aren't used, requests should resolve on their own so `await fixture.whenStable`
shouldn't be particularly affected or problematic.

The `getDefinitionAtPosition` function may be called by consumers instead
of `getDefinitionAndBoundSpan` with the later of which already implemented.
The `getDefinitionAtPosition` result is a subset of what `getDefinitionAndBoundSpan`
returns and currently delegates to that function.

Within the language service, the Angular compiler instance can provide
access to the current TypeScript program via `getCurrentProgram`. By
using the compiler, the need to pass around the program driver is no longer
required and can also be removed as an instance field of the Angular language
service class. This change also provides a higher assurance that the correct
program is being used throughout each language service request.

Previously located in the `aio` directory, the commit moves the docs file into `adev` and also moves the `script` used to generated them from the `angular-cli` repo.

Prior to this change, `NgZone` was provided by default in TestBed in a
location that would override anything configured in
`TestBed.initTestEnvironment`. This change moves the default `NgZone`
provider to the `RootScopeModule` and these providers can be overridden
by the ones in `additionalModuleTypes`, which are assigned from the
first argument of `initTestEnvironment`. This makes it possible to
configure Zone globally for all tests as opposed to needing to repeat it
in `configureTestingModule` of each suite.

Now that #55092 has merged, we now consistently get the `setTimeout` and
`rAF` implementations that are not patched by zone. There's no longer a
need to run them in the root zone.

PR #55099 updated zoneless behavior to treat all views attached to
`ApplicationRef` as `OnPush`. Put another way, Zoneless change detection
will only refresh view trees that notified Angular of a change. This
generally works as expected but there was one situation where it did
not.
Some views are logically linked to their declaration locations and
should refresh when the declaration refreshes. These views are called
"transplanted views" and work correctly when inserted into another view
container. This change updates the logic to also work when they are
attached directly to `ApplicationRef`.

Previously the input flags were being generated as a reference to an enum member for better readability and under the assumption that minifiers would inline the values. That doesn't appear to be the case so these changes switch to using the literal values instead.
