⚠️Disclaimer⚠️ this PR implements syntax that is still in an open RFC. It will be adjusted once the RFC is closed.
These changes implement the `BlockGroup` and `Block` AST nodes that will then be used to generate instructions based on the new syntax. A `BlockGroup` is a container for `Block` instances. The first block of a block is always implicit and required while any subsequent blocks are optional.

⚠️Disclaimer⚠️ this PR implements syntax that is still in an open RFC. It will be adjusted once the RFC is closed.
These changes extend the lexer to recognize the concepts of a block group (`{#foo paramA; paramB}{/foo}`) and a block (`{:foo paramA; paramB;}`) which will be useful later on for the control flow and defer proposals. Block groups can be used anywhere and require a closing tag while block can only be used inside of a block.
The idea is that in the next PRs the markup AST will be expanded to have some more specialized node like `ConditionalBlock` or `DeferBlock` which will then be turned into instructions.

The expression `a()?.b` should expand into `(tmp = a()) === null ? null : tmp.b`, in order to avoid calling the function `a()` twice.
This commit modifies the null-safe-expansion algorithm to emit temporary assignments, and provides the reification code to actually generate the declarations, assignments, and reads.
Note also that, with our bottom-up algorithm, there are some tricky cases when a function call exists inside an indexed access, such as `f1()?.[f2()?.a]?.b`. We add some special logic to avoid generating a double-assignment to the temporary storing the result of `f2()`.
Finally, there are opportunities to reuse the same temporary in expressions like `a?.[f()]?.[f()]`. We save this for the next commit.

We have a lint rule configured that enforces that any abstract member
implementation uses an explicit `override` identifier. This ensures that
downstream classes will have errors if the parent abstract class
suddenly removes the abstract member.
The lint rule, living in the dev-infra repository, occasionally does
miss some places due to a temporary TS version mismatch that causes
syntax kind indices to be different. Looks like we are now matching
again and there is a new lint failure that got introduced recently. This

If a library is compiling with Angular v16.1.0, the library will break
for users that are still on Angular v16.0.x. This happens because the
`DirectiveDeclaration` or `ComponentDeclaration` types are not expecting
an extra field for `signals` metadata. This field was only added to the
generic types in `16.1.0`- so compilations fail with errors like this:
```
Error: node_modules/@angular/material/icon/index.d.ts:204:18 -
error TS2707: Generic type 'ɵɵComponentDeclaration' requires between 7 and 9 type arguments.
```
To fix this, we quickly roll back the code for inserting this metadata
field. That way, libraries remain compatible with all v16.x framework
versions.
We continue to include the `signals` metadata if `signals: true` is set.
This is not public API anyway right now- so cannot happen- but imagine
we expose some signal APIs in e.g. 16.2.x, then we'd need this metadata
and can reasonably expect signal-component library users to use a more
recent framework core version.

Angular's null-safe access operators differ from Javascript's built-in semantics, in that they short-circuit to `null` instead of `undefined`. This necessitates providing a custom transformation, instead of relying on Typescript or Javascript itseld.
The old TemplateDefinitionBuilder uses a top-down approach based on the Visitor pattern, in which it recursively extracts the left-most safe access, and hoists it to a null check at the top. See `expression_converter.ts` for details.
In this commit, we replace that approach with a new bottom-up algorithm, as part of the template pipeline. This requires an intermediate expression type to represent the not-yet-expanded ternary operators, and is split into its own pass.
Null-safe function calls are not yet implemented, since they will rely on a future temporary variable allocation pass.

Create a pass that expands nullish coalescing operators into null checks.
This is not yet finished because we need to emit temporary variable assignments, which we will do using a future temporary variable allocation pass. Also, TemplateDefinitionBuilder is a bit quirky, and we still need to exactly match its behavior.
Nevertheless, this is good enough to prevent the diffs from getting ruined as a result of nullish coalescing operations.

This commit adds end-to-end support for pipes in the template pipeline. This
support works across multiple steps:
1. Pipes are first ingested as `ir.PipeBindingExpr`s during the ingest step.
2. A "pipe creation" phase inserts operations to instantiate each required
pipe, based on the presence of those `ir.PipeBindingExpr`s.
3. A "variadic pipe" phase transforms pipes with more than 4 arguments into
variadic pipe bindings, which use a literal array argument. This literal
array will be later memoized into a pure function invocation.
4. A special phase (`phaseAlignPipeVariadicVarOffset`) reconciles a
difference in variable slot assignment logic between the template pipeline
and the `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`, to ensure that the pipeline output can
pass the existing tests. This phase should not affect runtime semantics and
can be dropped once matching output is no longer necessary.
5. Reification emits pipe instructions based on the argument count.

According to the HTML specification most attributes are defined as strings, however some can be interpreted as different types like booleans or numbers. [In the HTML standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attributes), boolean attributes are considered `true` if they are present on a DOM node and `false` if they are omitted. Common examples of boolean attributes are `disabled` on interactive elements like `<button>` or `checked` on `<input type="checkbox">`. Another example of an attribute that is defined as a string, but interpreted as a different type is the `value` attribute of `<input type="number">` which logs a warning and ignores the value if it can't be parsed as a number.
Historically, authoring Angular inputs that match the native behavior in a type-safe way has been difficult for developers, because Angular interprets all static attributes as strings. While some recent TypeScript versions made this easier by allowing setters and getters to have different types, supporting this pattern still requires a lot of boilerplate and additional properties to be declared. For example, currently developers have to write something like this to have a `disabled` input that behaves like the native one:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input()
get disabled() {
return this._disabled;
}
set disabled(value: any) {
this._disabled = typeof value === 'boolean' ? value : (value != null && value !== 'false');
}
private _disabled = false;
}
```
This feature aims to address the issue by introducing a `transform` property on inputs. If an input has a `transform` function, any values set through the template will be passed through the function before being assigned to the directive instance. The example from above can be rewritten to the following:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input, booleanAttribute} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input({transform: booleanAttribute}) disabled: boolean = false;
}
```
These changes also add the `booleanAttribute` and `numberAttribute` utilities to `@angular/core` since they're common enough to be useful for most projects.

Fixes#14761.
PR Close#50420
Adds the necessary compiler changes to support input transform functions. The compiler output has changed in the following ways:
### Directive handler
The directive handler now extracts a reference to the input transform function and it resolves the type of its first parameter. It also asserts that the type can be referenced in the compiled output and that it doesn't clash with any pre-existing `ngAcceptInputType_` members.
### .d.ts
In the generated declaration files the compiler now inserts an `ngAcceptInputType_` member for each input with a `transform` function. The member's type corresponds to the type of the first parameter of the function, e.g.
```typescript
// foo.directive.ts
@Directive()
export class Foo {
@Input({transform: (incomingValue: string) => parseInt(incomingValue)}) value: number;
}
// foo.directive.d.ts
export class Foo {
value: number;
static ngAcceptInputType_value: string;
}
```
### Type check block
If an input has `transform` function, the TCB will use the type of its first parameter for the setter type. This uses the same infrastructure as the `ngAcceptInputType_` members.
### Directive declaration
The generated runtime directive declaration call now includes the `transform` function in the `inputs` map, if the input is being transformed. The function will be picked up by the runtime in the next commit to do the actual transformation.
```typescript
// foo.directive.ts
@Directive()
export class Foo {
@Input({transform: (incomingValue: string) => parseInt(incomingValue)}) value: number;
}
// foo.directive.js
export class Foo {
ɵdir = ɵɵdefineDirective({
inputs: {
value: ['value', 'value', incomingValue => parseInt(incomingValue)]
}
});
}
```

Adds a new AST for a `TransplantedType` in the compiler which will be used for some upcoming work. A transplanted type is a type node that is defined in one place in the app, but needs to be copied to a different one (e.g. the generated .d.ts). These changes also include updates to the type translator that will rewrite any type references within the type to point to the new context file.

It's possible to have chains of statements, exclusively in event listeners. A listener with a chain looks like the following:

We handle this by generating multiple statements, one for each expression in the chain, and only making the final statement the return statement. We place this logic in code specific to listeners, since they are the only place this construct can appear.
