Current behavior

When using *ngFor, the compiler will generate a reference to NgFor in the provider for the component. NgFor is deprecated in favor of NgForOf<T> and will issue warning if the code is checked for references to deprecated symbols.

Expected behavior

The compiler should only generated references to deprecated classes only if a depreciated class is declared or imported into the module it is declared in and part of the template matches the selector for the component or directive.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Any template with a *ngFor.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Avoiding deprecated references.
