refactor(compiler): support passing children to foreign components
Previously, any children nested inside a foreign component were ignored during template ingestion. With this change, the compiler now: 1. Identifies when a foreign component has children in the template AST. 2. Compiles these children into a separate template view (using the standard TemplateOp). 3. Passes a `ɵɵforeignContent` expression under the `children` prop inside the foreign component's `props` object. At runtime, the new `ɵɵforeignContent(index)` instruction instantiates the template at the specified slot index in memory (detached from the DOM), extracts its root DOM nodes, and returns them. These root nodes are then passed directly to the foreign component's `props.children` so they can be rendered by the foreign framework. The instantiated children view is registered in the parent LView's child tree, ensuring its change detection and destruction are managed automatically as part of the standard Angular view tree lifecycle.
