Certain code patterns and tools in Google (and possibly 3P world) lead to the situation that a component is bootstrapped/rendered without its ng-module being loaded in the browser. Technically speaking this should be an anti-pattern since the ng-module could contain some runtime logic (e.g., providing something, calling some services, etc) and its not being loaded leads to unexpected behaviour. However, in many cases ng-module is an empty class and its only usage is for providing scope, and since in AoT full compilation mode we already hard-code dependencies into components so we can get away with not loading the ng-module. But in AoT local compilation mode it is not possible to get away since the component's dependencies are computed in runtime and the presence of the corresponding ng-module in the browser is needed. For this reason in this change it is forbidden to attempt to render a component without first loading its ng-module in local compilation mode and an explicit error message is created to make this situation clear. This error message can help with catching such cases when running TGP in Google.
It would be an interesting question as to whether to ban this situation in full compilation mode as well, as it is error prone and these errors are sometimes very hard to debug.

Adds support for passing in `@Component.styles` as a string. Also introduces a new `styleUrl` property on `@Component` for providing a single stylesheet. This is more convenient for the most common case where a component only has one stylesheet associated with it.

Previously effects were queued as they became dirty, and this queue was
flushed at various checkpoints during the change detection cycle. The result
was that change detection _was_ the effect runner, and without executing CD,
effects would not execute. This leads a particular tradeoff:
* effects are subject to unidirectional data flow (bad for dx)
* effects don't cause a new round of CD (good/bad depending on use case)
* effects can be used to implement control flow efficiently (desirable)
This commit changes the scheduling mechanism. Effects are now scheduled via
the microtask queue. This changes the tradeoffs:
* effects are no longer limited by unidirectional data flow (easy dx)
* effects registered in the Angular zone will trigger CD after they run
(same as `Promise.resolve` really)
* the public `effect()` type of effect probably isn't a good building block
for our built-in control flow, and we'll need a new internal abstraction.
As `effect()` is in developer preview, changing the execution timing is not
considered breaking even though it may impact current users.

The View Transitions API enables easy animations when transitioning between different DOM states. This commit adds an opt-in feature to the Router which runs the component activation and deactivation logic in the document.startViewTransition callback. If the browser does not support this API, route activation and deactivation will happen synchronously.

This commit refactors the router internals to track state inside a separate
`StateManager`. This helps open the door to managing the state in
different, swappable providers. The current interface needed by the
Router is: `currentUrlTree`, `rawUrlTree`, `browserUrlTree`,
`routerState`, and `handleNavigationEvent` (other properties are because
some router properties are writeable when they shouldn't be). This is
a suprisingly small interface and can hopefully be made smaller in the
future (i.e. removing 1 or more of the 3 tracked of `UrlTree`s).

This commit switches the signals library from a bidirectional symmetric
dependency graph using weak references, to a bidirectional _asymmetric_
graph which uses strong references. This is made possible with a reference
counting algorithm which only tracks producer -> consumer references for
effect-like "live" consumers, preventing memory leaks.
The new algorithm should be simpler and faster than the previous
implementation as weak references are fairly slow to create and traverse.
A tradeoff is that non-live consumers must now poll their producers when
read, as they cannot rely on dirty notifications.
As part of this refactoring, the `ReactiveNode` class is replaced with an
interface instead, and methods are moved to standalone functions. This is
paired with instantiating individual signals/computeds via `Object.create`
against a prototype node which contains static or initial values. This
technique, in conjunction with the rest, greatly improves the performance
of node creation.

In local compilation mode it is not possible to use an imported string for component's template or styles as it cannot be resolved statically in compile time. There are some such use cases in g3 and potentially devs might incorporate such pattern. At the moment such pattern will cause the local compilation fail with generic error messages (e.g., so and so at position 1 is not a reference, etc). This change makes specific error messages with helpful hints for such cases. These new error messages can help devs to quickly resolve the issue as well as make it possible to identify existing issues in g3.

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.

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.

PR Close#50425
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)]
}
});
}
