Allow to generate code for files outside of rootDir (e.g. in node_modules) #19337
Description
With current ng5 we don't generate code for libraries outside of rootDir.
We should implement this properly (e.g. so that this also work in watch mode, ...).
Algorithm for mapping path to rootDir:
- take common prefix from path and rootDir
- count all
.. - produce path
rootDir/dotDotCount/suffix
It is important that the generated path can be mapped back to the original file without extra caches, ... as TS might ask for generated files directly when passing an oldProgram, without looking at the base file first.

Note that this is non trivial, as we drive the generated path of a file from the path of the file in several places in Angular.
