perf(@angular-devkit/build-angular): avoid template diagnostics for declaration files in esbuild builder

clydin · dgp1130 · commit 60086dbd016f · 2022-10-25T10:51:01.000-07:00
The experimental esbuild-based browser application builder will now avoid trying to query the Angular
Compiler for template diagnostics when a TypeScript source file is a declaration file (`.d.ts`). This
avoids the overhead of the in-memory diagnostics caching logic as well as any Angular Compiler logic
to determine if the file has any template diagnostics.
