fix(@angular/build): ensure @angular/compiler is loaded for Vitest TestBed initialization

Provide a dedicated setup file to import '@angular/compiler' prior to TestBed initialization. This ensures the compiler facade is published before 'init-testbed.js' or any shared code-split chunks (such as those configured via 'providersFile') are evaluated, avoiding JIT compilation errors when injectable dependencies are resolved during test initialization.

(cherry picked from commit ce57763)
