Charles Lyding 41e2a68e30 feat(router): add type properties to all router events (#44189)
All router events now have a `type` property with a string name identifying the specific type of the event.
The `type` property can be used to perform TypeScript type narrowing using an `if` statement, `switch`
statement, or similar. This removes the need to perform `instanceof` checks but still allows them if
preferred. An `instanceof` check requires the use of the event class value which may not be available
or preferred in certain situations.
The Router's `enableTracing` option is also now guarded with the `ngDevMode` flag which combined with
the use of a new `stringifyEvent` function allows the tree-shaking of the string generation code for
each router event class. However, the original `toString` class methods are still present to prevent
a potential breaking change. As a result, full benefits of the tree-shaking potential will not be realized
until they are removed.

Angular Router

Managing state transitions is one of the hardest parts of building applications. This is especially true on the web, where you also need to ensure that the state is reflected in the URL. In addition, we often want to split applications into multiple bundles and load them on demand. Doing this transparently isn’t trivial.

The Angular router is designed to solve these problems. Using the router, you can declaratively specify application state, manage state transitions while taking care of the URL, and load components on demand.
