## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
**1. Bundle Size Reductions**
All Ionic UI components and Ionicons are added to the final bundle of an
Ionic Angular application. This is because all components and icons are
lazily loaded as needed. This prevents the compiler from properly tree
shaking applications. This does not cause all components and icons to be
loaded on application start, but it does increase the size of the final
app output that all users need to download.

**2. Standalone Component Support**
Standalone Components are a stable API as of Angular 15. The Ionic
starter apps on the CLI have NgModule and Standalone options, but all of
the Ionic components are still lazily/dynamically loaded using
`IonicModule`. Standalone components in Ionic also enable support for
new Angular features such as bundling with ESBuild instead of Webpack.
ESBuild does not work in Ionic Angular right now because components
cannot be statically analyzed since they are dynamically imported.
We added preliminary support for standalone components in Ionic v6.3.0.
This enabled developers to use their own custom standalone components
when routing with `ion-router-outlet`. However, we did not ship
standalone components for Ionic's UI components.

**3. Faster Component Load Times**
Since Ionic Angular components are lazily loaded, they also need to be
hydrated. However, this hydration does not happen immediately which
prevents components from being usable for multiple frames.

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
The `angular` directory sits at the root of the project instead of in
`packages` with all the other JS Framework integrations. This does not
cause any functional issues with Ionic, but it is confusing since
integrations are not in a consistent place.
## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->
- Moves the `angular` directory to `packages/angular`
Note: Most files should remain unchanged. The only files I changed are
the files that had direct paths to the old `angular` directory:
1. Removes the `angular` path in `lerna.json`. This is now covered by
`packages/*`
2. Updated the angular file path in `.gitignore`
3. Updates the path to the angular package in `stencil.config.ts` for
the Angular Output Targets
4. Updates some of Angular's sync scripts to correctly get the core
stylesheets as well as the core package.
5. Updates the test app sync script to correctly sync core and
angular-server
~I'm not entirely sure why GitHub thinks
