This commit introduces a new enum for capturing additional metadata
about inputs. Called `InputFlags`. These will be built up at compile
time and then propagated into the runtime logic, in a way that does
not require additional lookup dictionaries data structures, or
additional memory allocations for "common inputs" that do not have any flags.
The flags will incorporate information on whether an input is signal
based. This can then be used to avoid megamorphic accesses when such
input is set- as we'd not need to check the input field value. This also
avoids cases where an input signal may be used as initial value for an
input (as we'd not incorrectly detect the input as a signal input then).
The new metadata emit will be useful for incorporating additional
metadata for inputs, such as whether they are required etc (although
required inputs are a build-time only construct right now- but this is a
good illustration of why input flags can be useful). An alternative
could have been to have an additional boolean entry for signal inputs,
but allocating a number with more flexible input flags seems more future
proof and more reasonable andreadable.

Currently when a base class defines an input with a transform, derived
classes re-defining the input via `@Input`, or `inputs: [<..>]`, end up
inherting the transform due to a bug in the inherit definitions feature.
This commit fixes this. We verified in the Google codebase that this is
an unlikely occurrence and it's trivial to fix on user side by removing
the re-declaration/override, or explictly adding the necessary
transform.
Conceptually, the behavior was quite inconsistent as everything else of
inputs was overridden as expected. i.e. alias, required state etc. The
exception were input transforms. This commit fixes this.

At this point, we have the following pieces in place:
* the input signature is implemented
* the compiler properly parses and recognizes signal inputs
* the compiler supports type-checking of signal inputs
* input signal metadata is passed to partial output
This commit adds a naive runtime solution to distinguishing between
signal inputs and decorator inputs when the `property` instruction
invokes. This is not ideal and non-performant as we introduce additional
megamorphic reads for every property instruction invocation, or if we'd
use `instanceof`, introducing a hard dependency on `InputSignal` and
risking potentially slower detection.
This code exists purely for testing, to enable playing with input
signals in the playground. In a future commit, we will pass around the
input signal metadata at runtime and can perform highly optimized checks
to distinguish between signal or non-signal inputs- when assigning
values.

This commit introduces the runtime `InputSignal` implementation.
Input initializers using `input` or `input.required` will result in
an instance of `InputSignal` to be created.
An input signal extends the signal primtive, with a couple of small
differences:
- it's a readonly signal. There is no public `set` or `update`.
- equality is non-configurable. As per CD semantics, the value is
guaranteed to be different when the `property` instruction attempts
to update an input signal.
- we support a `transform` function, that allows transforming input
values. The transform is called whenever the input is set. An
alternative could have been to follow computed-semantics and call the
transform upon accessing, if dirty.
In the future, we might change this to extend the computed reactive
node, so that we can support computed inputs that do not rely on
continious bound value assignments. See signal based components RFC.
PR Close#53571
For the implementation of input signals, we want to extend the signal
primitive. The basic methods exposed here are not suitable as we'd like
to store additional metadata on the reactive node, and also have a
custom getter (for required inputs and throwing).
To enable this, one small piece was missing. This commit exposes it and
also improves type safety, now that `SignalNode` is typed properly after
the previous commit.
PR Close#53571
The `SignalNode` interface, describing the reactive node for a `Signal`,
seemingly exposes the `SIGNAL` symbol as a class member. This is not
true as the `SIGNAL` reactive node only exists on the getter function,
as a way to retrieve the signal underlying reactive node.
This commit fixes this, enabling improved type-safety later, in a
follow-up commit where `SIGNAL_NODE` can now be typed to match the
`SignalNode` interface (unlike now where it's typed as just `object`).
PR Close#53571
This commit adds additional type-check transform tests for signal
inputs. These tests verify some of the problems with covariance,
contravariance and bivariance that we were suspecting to be problematic
if we would assign `InputSignal`'s directly to the type constructors.

This flag is not actually read anywhere. It doesn't even have any effect
on the traversal algorithm because embedded views are always refreshed
in `Global` traversal mode during the refresh of their parent views.

The `ComponentFixture` code needlessly dances around the `ngZone` being
`null` when the `ComponentFixtureNoNgZone` option is set. Instead, it

In #52931, Kristiyan fixed a TemplateDefinitionBuilder bug in which derived alias variables in for loops (`$even`, `$first`, etc) were referring to the wrong level of nested `@for` block. (These variables are unique because they become inlined expressions, and are not "real" context variables.) He fixed this by appending level information to the generated alias name.
Template Pipeline actually suffered from the same bug. We fix it in a very similar way -- in particular, whenever these derived context variables are used, we make them depend on versions of `$index` and `$count` that have been suffixed with the xref of the enclosing repeater.
I have added a few more pipeline goldens, because we are not quite as clever as TDB about only generating the duplicate suffixed index and count variables when inside nested loops. This is fine, since in the long run, we want to refactor it more fundamentally.
I have also added a TODO to fix this more rigorously. In particular, it would be nice if we had proper support for shadowed variables, as well as unlimited levels of variables depending on one another.

The diagnostic was catching the following case:
```ts
name = signal('Angular');
```
but not the following ones:
```ts
name = signal('Angular').asReadonly();
name = computed(() => 'Angular');
name!: Signal<string>
```
This was not catched in the tests because the type of `Signal` is different than the one actually used in core.
It turns out the real type forces the diagnostic to check both the `symbol.tsType.symbol` and the `symbol.tsType.aliasSymbol`.

Use of the `SpyLocation` is problematic because it prevents location

In order to provide a reasonable experience for Angular without Zones,
we need a mechanism to run change detection when we receive a change
notification. There are several existing APIs today that serve as the
change notification: `ChangeDetectorRef.markForCheck`, signal updates,
event listeners (since they mark the view dirty), and attaching a view to
either the `ApplicationRef` or `ChangeDetectorRef`. These operations
are now paired with a notification to the change detection scheduler.
The concrete implementation for this scheduler is still being designed.
However, this gives us a starting point to partner with teams to
experiment with what that might look like.

The way we were handling ICU placeholders was not compatible with using
interpolations on attributes of elements inside the ICU. This change
refactors the handling of ICU placeholders and unifies the way
expression and tag placeholders work inside ICUs.
The new approach modifies the ingest logic to add the placeholder on to
the TextOp rather than the TextInterpolationOp. This is because, in
ICUs, we may need multiple i18n expressions created from the
interpolation expressions to roll up into the same placeholder. ICUs
essentially do the interpolation at compile time, combining the static
strings with special placeholder strings that represent the expression
values.

Consider a case when an explicit `this` read is inside a template with a context that also provides the variable name being read:
```
<ng-template let-a>{{this.a}}</ng-template>
```
Clearly, `this.a` should refer to the class property `a`. However, in today's Angular, `this.a` will refer to `let-a` on the template context.
Amazingly, both TemplateDefinitionBuilder and the Typecheck block have the same bug, and are consistent with each other! This is because `ImplicitReceiver` extends `ThisReceiver` in the parser AST, which is an insane gotcha.
In this commit, I patch the template pipeline to emulate this behavior as well.
To actually fix this nastiness, we have to:
- Update `ingest.ts` in the Template Pipeline (see the corresponding comment)
- Check `type_check_block.ts` in the Typecheck block code (see the corresponding comment)
- Turn off legacy TemplateDefinitionBuilder
- Fix g3, and release in a major version

`ng-content` elements, and thus their corresponding projection instructions, can have many attributes on them. Some of these attributes may result in special behavior. For example, `ngProjectAs` and `i18n-foo` both result in special const collection, into the approprate BindingKind slot in the const array. Additionally, `i18n-foo` needs to recieve all the additional i18n attribute processing.
We solve this by subjecting `ng-content` attributes to all the same pipeline logic that applies to attributes on elements, and then allow the element const collection phase to collect them.

For regular templates, any listener will have its name const collected into the bindings section of the element consts.

We has some special behavior for naming identifiers in Template Pipline, for the sake of compatibility with TDB's source maps tests.

When an application does not use zones, it does not need a default value
for the zone stableness token. This will allow zoneless applications to
tree-shake a lot of rxjs operators out of `ApplicationRef`.
Note that at the moment, `provideZoneChangeDetection` is included in all
applications as well as the `TestBed` environment. It is not currently
possible to remove the zone stable code as a result. This will be
possible only when we make zones an opt-in rather than opt-out.
