Andrew Scott f58ad86e51 feat(router): Add feature provider for enabling hash navigation (#48301)
The argument against this feature:

Firstly, this isn't a navigation strategy that's very commonly desired.
Secondly, the hash strategy is a location configuration in `@angular/common`
and you can use it outside of the Router or with any custom router implementations.
So while the net effect of using the router is that it updates the URL which is
controlled by the strategy, this feature provider doesn't necessarily need to
exist in the Router. The location strategy is an application-wide configuration
and affects anything that imports `Location`.  Of course, the Router does this
in a few places but plenty of other things might as well.

The argument for this feature:

* Discoverability. While `LocationStrategy` is technically in `@angular/common`, the most
  common use-case _is_ when using it with the Router.
* Precedence in the `RouterModule.forRoot([], {useHash: true})`
* Precedence in other routing libraries (`createWebHashHistory` in VueJS
  and `HashRouter` in React, for example)
* The implementation of `withHashLocation` is much more clear than
  `useHash` was. You can look at the function and see that all it's
  doing is adding the `HashLocationStrategy` to the providers list.
