angular: use inject() instead of constructor injection

Replace using constructor injection with using the inject function.
Constructor injections is discouraged by angular's lint rules starting with Angular 20.

 This does not affect the Composition API where `Translator` is accessed directly from a `ComputedRef`.
 
+### Angular renderers use `inject()` instead of constructor injection
+
+All Angular base classes (`JsonFormsAbstractControl`, `LayoutRenderer`, `JsonFormsOutlet`, `JsonForms`) now use Angular's `inject()` function instead of constructor parameter injection.
+
+If you have custom renderers that extend these base classes and pass `JsonFormsAngularService` (or other dependencies) to `super()`, you need to remove those constructor parameters and the `super(...)` call.
+
+The `JsonFormsAngularService` is now provided as a `protected` field on `JsonFormsAbstractControl`, so custom control renderers can use `this.jsonFormsService` directly without injecting it themselves.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```ts
+@Component({ ... })
+export class MyCustomRenderer extends JsonFormsControl {
+  constructor(
+    private myService: MyService,
+    jsonFormsService: JsonFormsAngularService
+  ) {
+    super(jsonFormsService);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```ts
+@Component({ ... })
+export class MyCustomRenderer extends JsonFormsControl {
+  private myService = inject(MyService);
+}
+```
+
+If your custom renderer extends `LayoutRenderer`, the same applies.
+Remove the constructor parameters for `JsonFormsAngularService` and `ChangeDetectorRef`, as both are now injected by the base class.
+The `ChangeDetectorRef` is available as a `protected` field `this.changeDetectionRef` on `LayoutRenderer`.
+
 ### Angular material removes hammerjs
 
 The angular material package no longer depends or imports the `hammerjs` package.
