Kristiyan Kostadinov be44cc8f40 feat(core): support listening to outputs on dynamically-created components (#60137)
Adds the new `outputBinding` function that allows users to listen to outputs on dynamically-created components in a similar way to templates. For example, here we create an instance of `MyCheckbox` and listen to its `onChange` event:

```ts
interface CheckboxChange {
  value: string;
}

createComponent(MyCheckbox, {
  bindings: [
   outputBinding<CheckboxChange>('onChange', event => console.log(event.value))
  ],
});
```

Note that while it has always been possible to listen to events like this by getting a hold of of the instance and subscribing to it, there are a few key differences:
1. `outputBinding` behaves in the same way as if the event was bound in a template which comes with some behaviors like forwarding errors to the `ErrorHandler` and marking the view as dirty.
2. With `outputBinding` the listeners will be cleaned up automatically when the component is destroyed.
3. `outputBinding` accounts for host directive outputs by binding to them through the host. E.g. if the `onChange` event above was coming from a host directive, `outputBinding` would bind to it automatically.

Currently `outputBinding` is available only in `createComponent`, `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` and `ComponentFactory.create`, but it will serve as a base for APIs in the future.
