Alex Rickabaugh 4e0784c2f0 refactor(compiler-cli): optimize InjectorDef imports generation (#45701)
Before standalone, everything that could appear in an NgModule's `imports`
was relevant to DI, and needed to be emitted in the `imports` of the
generated `InjectorDef` definition. With the introduction of standalone
types, NgModule `imports` can now contain components, directives, and pipes
which are standalone. Only standalone components need to be included in
the `imports` of the generated injector definition - directives and pipes
have no effect on DI. Having them present doesn't cause any errors in the
runtime (they're filtered out by the injector itself) but it does prevent
tree-shaking.

With this commit, the generation of `InjectorDef` now filters the `imports`
to exclude directives and pipes as much as possible. It's not _always_
possible because an expression in `imports` may pull in both a directive and
a `ModuleWithProviders` reference, and we have no way of referencing just
the MWP part of that expression. Therefore this is an optimization, not a
rule of `InjectorDef` compilation.
