Angular 9.0 and Carbon Angular v4

Plan:

• @carbon/icons-angular supports Angular 9
• carbon-components-angular compiles with Angular 9 (but can’t run due to icons-angular)
• ~all outstanding PRs are merged and only critical new PRs are created~ We just kept things up to date
• v4-dev branch created from master
• all icons swapped to their Angular 9 compatible form and peerDependencies updated
• testing
  • v4 works with Angular 6 - 9 with updated icons-angular
  • v3 works with Angular 6 - 8 with updated icons-angular
  • v3 works with Angular 6 - 8 without updated icons-angular
• remove legacy gulp + webpack + ngc build steps - we’re APF only via the CLI going forward
• code freeze on master
• prep for v4-dev merge to master
  • semantic release updated to release v3 from the v3 branch
  • deploy.sh updated to publish latest v3 storybook to /v3
  • v3 branch created
  • travis passes on v3
• local breaking change commit dry run with semantic-release
• point of no return
• merge v4-dev into master
  • ensure BREAKING CHANGE commit correctly added
  • delete once travis passes

Expected breaking changes:

• consumers must upgrade to @carbon/icons-angular@11
• consumers should ensure deep modules imports are removed for both carbon-components-angular and @carbon/icons-angular
  • this will require changes in how icons are used for an app to be compatible with Angular 9

It’s already done! But thanks for the offer @tarablack01 😁

icons-angular was done, so we didn’t see the need for a warning banner 🙂 As far as I understand icons-angular does work with Angular 9 overall, with a handful of exceptions (we pulled v11.1.0, which was causing issues) … I’m hoping to have something more functional next week, with an interim solution published on @next sooner … If you’re finding specific issues with icons-angular please open an issue over on https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-icons-angular (I see that you have already, thanks for that!)

Sorry for the delayed response!
