Paul Gschwendtner acf98268f8 refactor: update language-service package and tests to work with ESM (#48521)
The Angular Language Service package is now tested & compiled using ESM.
Previously it was a mismatch of CommonJS and ESM.

Still the language-service ESM output is transformed into a single UMD
bundle to allow for module resolution to be overriden. See
`bundles/BUILD`.

This is kept as is. To fully ship ESM (language-service is an exception
here), we need to:

 * Update all code to no longer reference typescript via import. Instead
   typescript needs to be passed around so that the extension can
   control the version
 * The VSCode extension/ the TS server needs to be able to load ESM. It
   looks like the server supports ESM global plugins, but the extension
   might not yet.

This is out of scope for the dev-infra effort as it requires more
insight into VSCode & the extension system & the TS language server.

Override Rename Ts Plugin

When the user wants to rename a symbol in the ts file VSCode will ask the rename providers for the answer in turn. If the first extension returns the result, the VSCode will break the loop and apply the result. If the first extension cannot rename the symbol, VSCode will ask the second extension in the list (built-in TS/JS extension, Angular LS extension, etc.). In other words, VSCode takes the result from only one rename provider and the order depends on registration timing, scoring.

Because the built-in ts extension and Angular extension have the same high score, if the built-in ts extension is the first(depends on the time the extension was registered), the result will be provided by the built-in extension. We want Angular to provide it, so this plugin will delegate rename requests and reject the request for the built-in ts server.

The Angular LS only provides the rename info when working within an Angular project. If we cannot locate Angular sources in the project files, the built-in extension should provide the rename info.

This plugin will apply to the built-in TS/JS extension and delegate rename requests to the Angular LS. It provides the rename info only when it is an Angular project. Otherwise, it will return info by the default built-in ts server rename provider.
