This commit removes the ability to configure lazy routes using a string
for `loadChildren`, together with the supporting classes to load an
`NgModuleFactory` at runtime.
BREAKING CHANGE:
It is no longer possible to use `Route.loadChildren` using a string
value. The following supporting classes were removed from
`@angular/core`:
- `NgModuleFactoryLoader`
- `SystemJsNgModuleFactoryLoader`
The `@angular/router` package no longer exports these symbols:
- `SpyNgModuleFactoryLoader`
- `DeprecatedLoadChildren`
The signature of the `setupTestingRouter` function from
`@angular/core/testing` has been changed to drop its `NgModuleFactoryLoader`
parameter, as an argument for that parameter can no longer be created.

With Ivy it's possible to create a `ComponentFactory` instance based on the generated Component def, thus the `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` can accept a Component instance and create a factory inside, rather than requiring additional complexity of creating a ComponentFactory outside (by invoking `ComponentFactoryResolver`).
This should simplify the API that is used for creating components dynamically.
DEPRECATION:
Angular no longer requires component factories to dynamically create components. The factory-based signature of the `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` function is deprecated in favor of a different signature that allows passing component classes instead.

Many of the tests in the router code use the deprecated loadChildren as a string. This
has been deprecated for years and can easily be changed to just a function that
returns the module.

DEPRECATION:
In Ivy, AOT summary files are unused. Passing AOT summary files in TestBed has no effect, so the `aotSummaries` usage in TestBed is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Angular.

DEPRECATION:
Ivy made it possible to avoid the need to resolve Component and NgModule factories. Framework APIs allow to use Component and NgModule Types directly. As a result, the `PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` and a factory-based signature of the `ApplicationRef.bootstrap` method are now obsolete and are now deprecated.
The `PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` calls can be replaced with `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` ones. The `ApplicationRef.bootstrap` method allows to provide Component Type, so this can be used a replacement for the factory-based calls.

According to @atscott:

Since the `strictTemplates` flag has been introduced in Angular the
compiler has been able to type-check input bindings to the declared
input type of the corresponding directive. When a getter/setter pair is
being used for the input it may be desirable to let the setter accept a
broader set of types than what is returned by the getter, for example
when the setter first converts the input value. However, until
TypeScript 4.3 a getter/setter pair was required to have identical types
so this pattern could not be accurately declared.
To mitigate this limitation, it was made possible to declare
input setter coercion fields in directives that are used when
type-checking input bindings. However, since TypeScript 4.3 the
limitation has been removed; setters can now accept a wider type than
what is returned by the getter. This means that input coercion fields
are no longer needed, as their effects can be achieved by widening the
type of the setter.

Fixes that the "Loved by millions" graphic doesn't look correctly on Safari.
Note that this fix is somewhat repetitive, but I couldn't find a better one. These are the other things I tried:
* Setting units on the size of `#angular-logo`.
* Setting the size of `#angular-logo` inside the `style` tag.
* Setting the size with inline styles.
Fixes#43498.
