This commit removes the `urlHandlingStrategy` from the public Router's API
BREAKING CHANGE:
`urlHandlingStrategy` has been removed from the Router public API.
This should instead be configured through the provideRouter or RouterModule.forRoot APIs.

None of the guide pages mentions ngModules. Only `observables-in-angular` needed conversion to Standalone.
However, some of the guide pages reflect old versions of RxJS, including signatures that are no longer valid. These have been corrected.
More significantly, *the existing guide is pretty bad at explaining RxJS and its usage*. It was written (by me I think) in the very early days of Angular and Angular RxJS instruction. I've taught numerous "RxJS in Angular" classes since and learned from that experience what does and does not work with students.
There was neither the time nor the charter to completely overhaul this guide. But this commit attempts to remove what flops with students and to bring the teaching closer to what seems more effectively. I hope reviewers agree that my revisions are an improvement.
**Revised Overview**
The overview doc, `observables.md`, had a few errors (ex: `next` is NOT REQUIRED) and deprecated patterns (you now must pass the Observer object to `subscribe`).
More importantly, it was wildly overcomplicated and scary, especially when it got into multi-casting.
Moved the multi-casting section to "RxJS Library" and rewrote it (with working example) for simplicity and context.
I made other changes in an effort to make this an overview that is more comprehensive and more clear. I paid particular attention to the "Basic usage and terms" section.
Finally, I relocated the "Naming conventions for observables" section here from `rx-library`. This is the section that describes the dollar-sign convention. It made more sense for it to be here.
**Revised "RxJS Library" page and code**
*RxJS no longer supports chaining* and hasn't for a very long time. Removed note in `rx-library.md` that suggested you could use operator chaining.
The RxJS `pipe` discussion in the "Operators" section was just weird. Almost no one calls the `pipe` function. We certainly should *start* there. We should start with how people actually use operators - by adding them to the argument list of the `Observable.pipe()` method.
I kept the original `pipe` function example but subordinated it in a "callout". Most readers will (and should) ignore it.
`Subject` is a *critically important RxJS mechanism for creating custom observables*. It was completely missing from the list of observable creators on this guide page. So I added it to the "Observable creation functions" section of the guide and wrote an accompanying `MessageService` code sample (see the new `rx-library/app/` folder).
The `MessageService` is a pretty common pattern in Angular apps - far more common than creating an observable from a counter or an event, two of the creation patterns currently on this page.
This new section also afforded an opportunity to show how RxJS helps with building loosely coupled applications. We will soon be talking about Signals. Many will wonder whether and when they should still use RxJS.
At least a partial answer is that RxJS is really good at progressively combining and enhancing streams of data as they cross component boundaries. Of course you can pass signals around; but they are not as rich in transformers as RxJS. This is where RxJS shines.
**Revised "Comparing observables"**
The Promises section in `comparing-observables.md` had many errors and misleading remarks.
The comparison of error handling was especially egregious; the code example for that was nonsense.
The "Chain" sub-section was really about transforming values. It also failed to demonstrate chaining promise `.then`s.
Reworked these sub-sections and improved the code samples to match.

**Unit Testing Code Does Not Compile**
The compilation error is:
```
The compilation error is
./src/testing/http-client.spec.ts - Error: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@ngtools/webpack/src/ivy/index.js):

```
I’m not sure what to say about unit testing HTTP in a full Standalone app. Is it different?
_This is the only known remaining defect in this conversion of HTTP to Standalone._
**Edited content of `http-request-data-from-server.md`**
The current version of this page is confusing. In particular
* It tells readers they **should always unsubscribe** from the HttpClient method calls. This is *not true* and this example doesn't even do it. I replaced this instruction with more nuanced advice and an explanation of why it is OK to not unsubscribe to HttpClient methods.
* There is a "helpful" note about using the RxJS `map` operator to transform the response. This is *not "helpfulf"*. It is *confusing* because the sample doesn't use `map` anywhere. It was unnecessary here, even if it might be helpful elsewhere. I removed this note.
* The "Requesting a typed response" section seemed unclear to me, particularly because the guide begins with a `get` request that already has the `Config` return type specification. My revision attempts to make this more clear.
* The bold "callout" about the `observe` and `responseType` options appears out of nowhere after "Requesting a typed response". It's disconcerting at best. I moved it to the bottom of the page and linked to it from the `options` discussion at the top.
I made a few other revisions that I hope improve the readability of this page.
**Corrected `http-make-jsonp-request.md`**
The JSONP example, handwritten in the guide page, would not have compiled. I added one that does to `heroes.service.ts` and displayed it on this page.
**Corrected `http-handle-request-errors.md`
This page ended with a section called "Sending data to a server" that introduces PUT, POST, and DELETE. These features have nothing to do with error handling and the verbiage here duplicates the opening paragraphs of the next topic which does: "Send data to a server". So I deleted this section from the error handling guide page.
**Archived http-setup-server-communication.md**
`http-setup-server-communication.md` appears to be the original long document that has since been divided over the other pages in this folder.
It shouldn’t be in the reader’s flow. I did update it for Standalone. But I also removed it from left-nav and marked as archived.

This commit removes deprecated properties on the Router. These are meant
to be configured through DI and not meant to be changed during runtime.
BREAKING CHANGE: The following Router properties have been removed from
the public API:
- canceledNavigationResolution
- paramsInheritanceStrategy
- titleStrategy
- urlUpdateStrategy
- malformedUriErrorHandler
These should instead be configured through the `provideRouter` or
`RouterModule.forRoot` APIs.

**Pipes Sample Code**
Migrated all sample code in the `examples/pipes` folder. Did not touch the pipes in the ToH or Testing folders.
>The existing, complex discussion of the `CurrencyPipe` within `pipes-transform-data.md` cried out for a new `concurrency-formatting.component` example`.
**Extracted "pipe precedence" into its own page**
The topic had been extracted from `pipe.md` and tacked on to the bottom of the `pipes-overview.md` page.
It's an advanced and somewhat obscure topic that doesn't belong in the overview. Rather than throw it away, I created a new `pipe-precedence.md` page and added it to the bottom of the pipes section navigation.
I also tried to improve both the guide text and the companion component, `precedence.component`.
**How to create a pipe is missing**
The readers are told they can create their own pipes in several places throughout the docs. But there are no links and you can't navigate to a page that covers the topic. This is a serious omission!
The topic is introduced in the `pipes-custom-data-trans.md` page (extracted verbatim from `pipes.md`). But you can't navigate to this page and their are no links to it.
TODO: restore this page and add it to the left-nav.
**Change `pipes.md` references to `pipe-overview.md`**
The original, kitchen-sink page, `pipes.md`, was disconnected from navigation long ago, in favor of multiple pages such as `pipe-overview.md`. The page is still in the AIO documentation and can be found by searching or by links from 3rd party documenters. Landing on that page hides the left-nav.
In this commit, we treat `pipes.md` as deprecated (which it seems to be). Therefore, this commit retargets previous `pipes.md` references to `pipe-overview.md`.
>The `change-detection-slow-computations.md` is the exception. It refers to "pure pipes", a subject not covered in the current pipe documentation. That reference is retargeted to `api/core/Pipe#pure`.
Certain code files are only referenced in `pipe.md`. They still work and are displayed in the overall pipes code sample as before. Now they are marked with deprecation comments for future treatment or removal.
For consistency, certain sections of `pipes.md` were replaced by the contents of the corresponding current pages.
