When using `loadChildren` or `loadComponent`, a common pattern is to pass
a function that returns a `Promise` from a dynamic import:
```typescript
{
path: 'lazy',
loadComponent: () => import('./lazy-file').then(m => m.LazyCmp),
}
```
The `.then` part of the expression selects the particular exported
component symbol from the dynamically imported ES module.
ES modules can have a "default export", created with the `export default`
modifier:
```typescript
@Component({...})
export default class LazyCmp { ... }
```
This default export is made available to dynamic imports under the well-
known key of `'default'`, per the ES module spec:
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#table-export-forms-mapping-to-exportentry-records
This commit adds a feature to the router to automatically dereference such
default exports. With this logic, when `export default` is used, a `.then`
operation to select the particular exported symbol is no longer required:
```typescript
{
path: 'lazy',
loadComponent: () => import('./lazy-file'),
}
```
The above `loadComponent` operation will automatically use the `default`
export of the `lazy-file` ES module.
This functionality works for `loadChildren` as well.

This commit deprecates the above two forms of `providedIn`.
DEPRECATED:
- The ability to pass an `NgModule` to the `providedIn` option for
`@Injectable` and `InjectionToken` is now deprecated.
`providedIn: NgModule` was intended to be a tree-shakable alternative to
NgModule providers. It does not have wide usage, and in most cases is used
incorrectly, in circumstances where `providedIn: 'root'` should be
preferred. If providers should truly be scoped to a specific NgModule, use
`NgModule.providers` instead.
- The ability to set `providedIn: 'any'` for an `@Injectable` or
`InjectionToken` is now deprecated.
`providedIn: 'any'` is an option with confusing semantics and is almost
never used apart from a handful of esoteric cases internal to the framework.

This commit applies the changes similar to the ones performed for the `inject()` function in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/46649/commits/df246bb2358794e3aad53870f1554d84bbe390b2.
The `TestBed.inject` function is updated to use previously added object-based API for options: now the flags argument supports passing an object which configures injection flags.
DEPRECATED:
The bit field signature of `TestBed.inject()` has been deprecated, in favor of the new options object.

These dates are week-specific to give some flexibility during the release process which frequently happens. I back-dated the most recent minors mainly to make sure we include them when we eventually update to v16 and beyond.

This commit updates the location of the Image Directive guide link in the left navigation menu. Now the link is located under the Feature Preview section.
Also, this commit updates the Image Directive guides to add a highlighted message that the directive is in the developer preview mode.

replace deprecated --outFile option for ng extract-i18n
The `--outFile` command option was last used in Angular v10 (back when it was still `ng xi18n`), yet there are still references to it in the documentation, alongside the up-to-date option `--out-file`. This commit replaces all mentions to the incorrect option with the correct writing.

As an ongoing effort to stabilize the NgOptimizedImage API before existing the Developer Preview, this commit renames the `rawSrc` attribute used for the NgOptimizedImage selector matching to `ngSrc`. The `rawSrcset` is also renamed to `ngSrcset` for consistency.
The motivation for this change is to align the attribute name better with other built-in directives, such as `ngFor`, `ngIf`, `ngClass`, `ngStyle`, etc.
Note: this is technically a breaking change, but since the NgOptimizedImage directive is in the Developer Preview mode, we land the change in a patch branch.

Previously, the criteria for determining if a request was a
[navigation request][1] did not account for the request method. This
incorrectly identified HTML form submit POST requests as navigation
requests and served `index.html` instead of passing them through to the
server, thus breaking the form submission.
This commit fixes this by ensuring that only GET requests are considered
navigation requests.
> **Note**
> HTML forms with their method set to `GET` will still be affected by
> the issue. This is not a big concern, because using `GET` for form
> submission is quite uncommon and generally discouraged (due to
> limitations and security considerations).
