Colby Mchenry 9a274a4b47 fix(angular): a binding, interpolation or control-flow block links the member it calls (#2398)
The Angular template pass read own-member calls only in event bindings, so
a member a template calls from `[name]="icon()"`, `{{ label() }}`,
`*ngIf="isOpen()"` or `@if (loading())` had no incoming edge. With signals
that is the usual way a template reads state, and the dead-code derivation
listed such members as unused (CleanArchitecture's ThemeToggleComponent
icon and label).

Every render-time expression is now read: property bindings,
interpolations, structural-directive microsyntax, control-flow blocks and
@let. A call of one of the component's own members becomes an
`angular-binding` edge with the binding as `via` and no trigger. It runs at
render, and a trigger drew computed signals as user actions in Steps. A
read without a call counts only for a method-kind member: a getter is
called, a function handed to a child is a fnRef reference, and a field a
call filled is a plain reference. Property reads link nothing, as in
TypeScript. Pipes, object and microsyntax keys, members of other objects,
template locals, strings and comments link nothing either.

Validated on CleanArchitecture, angular-realworld, ngx-admin and Ghostfolio:
272 edges added, none removed, and every registeredAt line checked. The
proshop_mern and next-saas-starter dumps are byte-identical.
