build: add job that ensures view engine AOT compatibility

Surprisingly with the switch to Ivy, we lost our infrastructure
that ensures View Engine AOT compatibility. View Engine compiler
is sometimes slighlty stricter in AOT as its pre-compiled factories
are in external classes. This requires variables to be "public" when
they are referenced in a template. In Ivy, these properties could
actually be `protected` or `private` too.

We already run tests against View Engine, but not in AOT. This is
because View Engine compiler does not process un-exported test classes.
In the future, with Ivy-only, we can run tests in AOT mode.
