This commit adds an operator to help rxjs observables important for rendering
keep the application unstable (and prevent serialization) until there is
an event (observable emits, completes, or errors, or the subscription is
unsubscribed). This helps with SSR for zoneless and also helps for when
operations are intentionally executed outside the Angular Zone but are
still important for SSR (i.e. angularfire and the zoneWrap helper hacks).

Angular DevTools is working on developing signal debugging support. This commit is a step in the direction of making available debug information to the framework that will allow Angular DevTools to provide users with more accurate information regarding the usage of signals in their applications.
Follow up PRs that will use this arg will:
- Develop a typescript transform that will detect usages of signal functions and attempt to add a debugName without the user needing to specify one directly
- Develop debug APIs for discovering signal graphs within Angular applications (using debugName as a way to label nodes on the graph)

Implementations of two rxjs-interop APIs which produce `Resource`s from
RxJS Observables. `rxResource()` is a flavor of `resource()` which uses a
projection to an `Observable` as its loader (like `switchMap`).
PR Close#58255
Implement a new experimental API, called `resource()`. Resources are
asynchronous dependencies that are managed and delivered through the signal
graph. Resources are defined by their reactive request function and their
asynchronous loader, which retrieves the value of the resource for a given
request value. For example, a "current user" resource may retrieve data for
the current user, where the request function derives the API call to make
from a signal of the current user id.
Resources are represented by the `Resource<T>` type, which includes signals
for the resource's current value as well as its state. `WritableResource<T>`
extends that type to allow for local mutations of the resource through its
`value` signal (which is therefore two-way bindable).

The keyvalue pipe sorts the entries of the input by key. This has been the subject of debate in the past (https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/42490). The core of the discussions is that it is often desirable (and perhaps expected) that they natural ordering of the input is respected. There are at least two workarounds to restore natural ordering, such as a `compareFn` that simply returns `1` or a custom pipe. However, both of these require code for pipe consumers to maintain or copy around to many places.
Allowing `null` as `compareFn` and treating it as "natural order" is fairly simple to understand, backward compatible and was suggested a few times on https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/42490 where it seemed to be received well. Using `null` is also possible in templates without any component code changes.

The shared style host now has the capability to add component styles as
link elements with external style references. This is currently unused
within the runtime but is an enabling feature for upcoming features such
as automatic component style HMR and development server deferred
stylesheet processing. Instead of inline style content that is then
added to a `style` element for each host node, a `link` element with a
stylesheet `rel` attribute and a `href` attribute can now be created.
The development server must be configured to provide the relevant
component stylesheet upon request. The Angular CLI development server
will provide this functionality once this capability is enabled.
Since the primary use of this capability is development mode and will
not be used for production code, server (SSR) style reuse is currently
not yet implemented but may be implemented in the future.
A component feature is used to provide the DOM renderer access to any
external styles that were emitted at compile time. When external styles
are present, the `getExternalStyles` function will be present on the
runtime component metadata object. The DOM render will use this function
to access and encapsulate the external style URLs as required by the
component.

Adds a `manualCleanup` flag to `afterRender` and `afterNextRender`, similarly to `effect`. The reason is that currently if the hook is created outside of an injection context, it requires an injector to be passed in. In some cases that injector might be an injector that is never destroyed (e.g. `EnvironmentInjector`) which can give a false sense of security users thinking that the hook will be cleaned up automatically. We fell into this in the CDK which caused a memory leak (see https://github.com/angular/components/pull/29709). With the `manualCleanup` option users explicitly opt into cleaning the hook up themselves.

`@angular/upgrade` writes to inputs when downgrading an Angular 2+ component
into an Angular.JS adapter. Previously, it wrote directly to the input
property, which isn't compatible with input signals. It also handles
`ngOnChanges` directly.
The correct way to support input signals would be to refactor upgrade to use
`ComponentRef.setInput`, which also handles `ngOnChanges` internally.
However, this refactoring might be more breaking since it would change the
timing of certain operations. Instead, this commit updates the code to
recognize `InputSignal` and write it through the `InputSignalNode`. This
avoids the above breaking changes for now, until a bigger refactoring can be
tested.

The original effect design for Angular had one "bucket" of effects, which
are scheduled on the microtask queue. This approach got us pretty far, but
as developers have built more complex reactive systems, we've hit the
limitations of this design.
This commit changes the nature of effects significantly. In particular,
effects created in components have a completely new scheduling system, which
executes them as a part of the change detection cycle. This results in
behavior similar to that of nested effects in other reactive frameworks. The
scheduling behavior here uses the "mark for traversal" flag
(`HasChildViewsToRefresh`). This has really nice behavior:
* if the component is dirty already, effects run following preorder hooks
(ngOnInit, etc).
* if the component isn't dirty, it doesn't get change detected only because
of the dirty effect.
This is not a breaking change, since `effect()` is in developer preview (and
it remains so).
As a part of this redesigned `effect()` behavior, the `allowSignalWrites`
flag was removed. Effects no longer prohibit writing to signals at all. This
decision was taken in response to feedback / observations of usage patterns,
which showed the benefit of the restriction did not justify the DX cost.
The new effect timing is not yet enabled - a future PR will flip the flag.

Implement the `afterRenderEffect` primitive, which creates effect(s) that
run as part of Angular's `afterRender` sequence. `afterRenderEffect` is a
useful primitive for expressing DOM operations in a declarative, reactive
way.
The API itself mirrors `afterRender` and `afterNextRender` with one big
difference: values are propagated from phase to phase as signals instead of
as plain values. As a result, later phases may not need to execute if the
values returned by earlier phases do not change.

The custom element implementation previously used a custom code path for
setting inputs, which contained bespoke code for writing input properties,
detecting whether inputs actually change, marking the component dirty,
scheduling and running CD, invoking `ngOnChanges`, etc. This custom logic
had several downsides:
* Its behavior different from how Angular components behave in a normal
template.
For example, inputs setters were invoked in `NgZone.run`, which (when
called from outside the zone) would trigger synchronous CD in the
component, _without_ calling `ngOnChanges`. Only when the custom rAF-
scheduled `detectChanges()` call triggered would `ngOnChanges` be called.
* CD always ran multiple times, because of the above. `NgZone.run` would
trigger CD, and then separately the scheduler would trigger CD.
* Signal inputs were not supported, since inputs were set via direct
property writes.
This change refactors the custom element implementation with two changes:
1. `ComponentRef.setInput` is used instead of a custom code path for
writing inputs.
This allows us to drop all the custom logic related to managing
`ngOnChanges`, since `setInput` does that under the hood. `ngOnChanges`
behavior now matches how the component would behave when _not_ rendered
as a custom element.
2. The custom rAF-based CD scheduler is removed in favor of the main Angular
scheduler, which now handles custom elements as necessary.
Running `NgZone.run` is sufficient to trigger CD when zones are used, and
the hybrid zoneless scheduler now ensures CD is scheduled when `setInput` is
called even with no ZoneJS enabled. As a result, the dedicated elements
scheduler is now only used when Angular's built-in scheduler is disabled.
As a concession to backwards compatibility, the element's view is also
marked for refresh when an input changes. Doing this allows CD to revisit
the element even if it becomes dirty during CD, mimicking how it would be
detected by the former elements scheduler unconditionally refreshing the
view a second time.
As a part of this change, the elements tests have been significantly
refactored. Previously all of Angular was faked/spied, which had a number
of downsides. For example, there were tests which asserted that change
detection only happens once when setting multiple inputs. This wasn't
actually the case (because of `NgZone.run` - see logic above) but the test
didn't catch the issue because it was only spying on `detectChanges()` which
isn't called from `ApplicationRef.tick()`. Even the components were fake.
Now, the tests use real Angular components and factories. They've also been
updated to not use `fakeAsync`.
A number of tests have been disabled, which were previously asserting
behavior that wasn't matching what was actually happening (as above). Other
tests were disabled due to real differences with `ngOnChanges` behavior,
where the current behavior could be seen as a bug.
Fixes#53981
BREAKING CHANGE: as part of switching away from custom CD behavior to the

The zoneless scheduler callback was executed in the root zone rather
than simply in `runOutsideAngular` to allow us to land the hybrid mode
change detection (scheduler always enabled, even for zones) without
breaking a ton of existing `fakeAsync` tests that could/would fail with
the "timer(s) still in queue" error. However, this caused another
problem: when a test executes inside `fakeAsync`, it cannot flush the
scheduled time. A similar problem exists with event and run coalescing (#56767).
This change would allow `fakeAsync` to flush the zoneless-scheduled
change detections and minimize breaking existing tests
by flushing pending timers at the end of the test, which actually now
matches what's done internally.
PR Close#56932
Errors during change detection from `ApplicationRef.tick` are only
reported to the `ErrorHandler`. By default, this only logs the error to
console. As a result, these errors can be missed/ignored and allow tests
to pass when they should not. This change ensures that the errors are
surfaced. Note that this is already the behavior when zoneless is
enabled.
BREAKING CHANGE: Errors that are thrown during `ApplicationRef.tick`
will now be rethrown when using `TestBed`. These errors should be
resolved by ensuring the test environment is set up correctly to
complete change detection successfully. There are two alternatives to
catch the errors:
* Instead of waiting for automatic change detection to happen, trigger
it synchronously and expect the error. For example, a jasmine test
could write `expect(() => TestBed.inject(ApplicationRef).tick()).toThrow()`
* `TestBed` will reject any outstanding `ComponentFixture.whenStable` promises. A jasmine test,
for example, could write `expectAsync(fixture.whenStable()).toBeRejected()`.
As a last resort, you can configure errors to _not_ be rethrown by
setting `rethrowApplicationErrors` to `false` in `TestBed.configureTestingModule`.

This change aligns the behavior of the error handler in the
`ExtraOptions` of `RouterModule.forRoot` with the error handler in
`withNavigationErrorHandler`. The changes are:
* Slightly different timing: The handler is called before the
`NavigationError` emits
* Runs in the injection context, meaning it is more configurable at the
config location rather than needing to assign the value to the
`Router.errorHandler` later to get access to injectables
* Can now return `RedirectCommand` to recover from the error and
redirect without emitting `NavigationError`
* No longer allows arbitrarily overriding return value of the navigation
promise
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Router.errorHandler` property has been removed.
Adding an error handler should be configured in either
`withNavigationErrorHandler` with `provideRouter` or the `errorHandler`
property in the extra options of `RouterModule.forRoot`. In addition,
the error handler cannot be used to change the return value of the
router navigation promise or prevent it from rejecting. Instead, if you
want to prevent the promise from rejecting, use `resolveNavigationPromiseOnError`.

From the internal issue on the matter:
> When using the standard Jasmine version of it promises returned by the body function are automatically awaited. The Catalyst version of it is fake-async, so awaiting the promise does not make sense; however it would be nice if Catalyst automatically flushed the promise to replicate the experience of using standard it. This would allow users to do the following:
```
it('should fail later', async () => {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r));
fail('failure');
});
```
> In Catalyst today the above test will pass. If this proposal to automatically flush the resulting promise were implemented it would fail.
Flushing after the tests complete has been the default behavior inside
Google since 2020. Very few tests remain that use the old behavior of
only flushing microtasks. The example above would actually fail with
`fakeAsync` due to the pending timer, but the argument still remains the
same. We might as well just flush if we're going to fail the test
anyways by throwing if there's no flush at the end.
