refactor(ivy): remove ngBaseDef - #33264

Initial set of presubmits:

• VE Presubmit
• Ivy Presubmit

Quick update after running presubmit in g3: it looks like there are some regressions, but they seem to be caused by the fact that there is a problem with inheriting inputs from base classes (annotated with @Directive()), which is used in this PR as a replacement for ngBaseDef. The problem should be resolved by PR #33131, but it's hard to tell whether it's the only problem in g3 or not. My proposal is to land PR #33131 first, rebase this PR and run g3 presubmit again (if time permits). As an option, we can create a draft PR that would include the changes from this PR and PR #33131 to see if there are any regressions in g3. Thank you.

Are those compile-time errors or runtime? If I remember correctly, we have a lot of inheritance tests for the runtime which are passing.

@crisbeto yes, the errors happen at runtime, so I guess I was incorrect assuming that #33131 will fix those. Let me collect more information and get back with specific use-cases that regressed. Thank you.

FYI, VE and Ivy presubmits were successful (g3 regression was resolved) at the point when I started them (see my comment here). I believe CI was "green" at that time as well, so I'm wondering if we can roll back recent changes (based on CR) in this PR if they are not critical, so we can unblock this PR. The remaining comments/improvements (if they are not critical) can be performed as a followup, especially given that we became blocked on #32987.

Caretaker: these are being done preemptively. Once #32987 lands, this should be in a good state.
