When performing a release via the dev-infra `ng-dev` tooling, the release
builds for the packages that will be published are now performed using bazel.
Prior to this, the release builds were performed using a custom build script
that programmatically invoked TypeScript APIs. The Bazel build and discovery
process for the releasable packages is performed by a script that is based on
the scripts from components and framework repositories. Several small modifications
were performed to match the behavior and structure of the cli repository:
* Use of `packages` as the source root in the bazel query
* Use of `pkg_npm` rule in the bazel query
* Partial transition to native Node.js `fs` APIs instead of `shelljs`
* Directory creation per package when copying output (supports multiple package scopes)
* Copying of archives (tgz) for each package
The snapshot and local build capabilities are not modified as part of this change
but will be merged in a followup as part of a larger transition to use bazel
throughout the package build process.
These async methods are a replacement for the Observable based `runSchematicAsync` and `runExternalSchematicAsync` methods.
DEPRECATED:
The Observable based `SchematicTestRunner.runSchematicAsync` and `SchematicTestRunner.runExternalSchematicAsync` method have been deprecated in favor of the Promise based `SchematicTestRunner.runSchematic` and `SchematicTestRunner.runExternalSchematic`.
Prepares the `@angular-devkit/schematics-cli` package for the eventual change of enabling the
TypeScript `useUnknownInCatchVariables` option. This option provides additional
code safety by ensuring that the catch clause variable is the proper type before
attempting to access its properties. Similar changes will be needed in the other
packages in the repository prior to enabling `useUnknownInCatchVariables`.
Code related to decoding buffers into strings and parsing content into JSON can now be removed by using the
support provided directly from the Tree instance for the executing schematic.
.substr() is deprecated so we replace it with .slice() which works similarily but isn't deprecated

rules_nodejs 4 requires that a package_name property be specified within a ts_library rule for the output to be linked into the package repository. Failing to add the property can cause test failures due to unresolved packages.
