feat($interpolate): extend interpolation with MessageFormat like syntax

For more detailed information refer to this document: https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1pbtW2yvtmFBikfRrJd8VAsabiFkKezmYZ_PbgdjQOVU/edit **Example:** ```html {{recipients.length, plural, offset:1 =0 {You gave no gifts} =1 { {{ recipients[0].gender, select, male {You gave him a gift.} female {You gave her a gift.} other {You gave them a gift.} }} } one { {{ recipients[0].gender, select, male {You gave him and one other person a gift.} female {You gave her and one other person a gift.} other {You gave them and one other person a gift.} }} } other {You gave {{recipients[0].gender}} and # other people gifts. } }} ``` This is a SEPARATE module so you MUST include `angular-messageformat.js` or `angular-messageformat.min.js`. In addition, your application module should depend on the "ngMessageFormat" (e.g. angular.module('myApp', ['ngMessageFormat']);) When you use the `ngMessageFormat`, the $interpolate gets overridden with a new service that adds the new MessageFormat behavior. **Syntax differences from MessageFormat:** - MessageFormat directives are always inside `{{ }}` instead of single `{ }`. This ensures a consistent interpolation syntax (else you could interpolate in more than one way and have to pick one based on the features availability for that syntax.) - The first part of such a syntax can be an arbitrary Angular expression instead of a single identifier. - You can nest them as deep as you want. As mentioned earlier, you would use `{{ }}` to start the nested interpolation that may optionally include select/plural extensions. - Only `select` and `plural` keywords are currently recognized. - Quoting support is coming in a future commit. - Positional arguments/placeholders are not supported. They don't make sense in Angular templates anyway (they are only helpful when using API calls from a programming language.) - Redefining of the startSymbol (`{{`) and endSymbol (`}}`) used for interpolation is not yet supported. Closes angular#11152

+## MessageFormat extensions 
+
+AngularJS interpolations via `$interpolate` and in templates
+support an extended syntax based on a subset of the ICU
+MessageFormat that covers plurals and gender selections.
+
+Please refer to our [design doc](https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1pbtW2yvtmFBikfRrJd8VAsabiFkKezmYZ_PbgdjQOVU/edit)
+for a lot more details.  You may find it helpful to play with our [Plnkr Example](http://plnkr.co/edit/QBVRQ70dvKZDWmHW9RyR?p=preview).
+
+You can read more about the ICU MessageFormat syntax at
+[Formatting Messages | ICU User Guide](http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages#TOC-MessageFormat).
+
+This extended syntax is provided by way of the
+`ngMessageFormat` module that your application can depend
+upon (shipped separately as `angular-messageFormat.min.js` and
+`angular-messageFormat.js`.)  A current limitation of the
+`ngMessageFormat` module, is that it does not support
+redefining the `$interpolate` start and end symbols. Only the
+default `{{` and `}}` are allowed.
+
+This syntax extension, while based on MessageFormat, has
+been designed to be backwards compatible with existing
+AngularJS interpolation expressions.  The key rule is simply
+this: **All interpolations are done inside double curlies.**
+The top level comma operator after an expression inside the
+double curlies causes MessageFormat extensions to be
+recognized.  Such a top level comma is otherwise illegal in
+an Angular expression and is used by MessageFormat to
+specify the function (such as plural/select) and it's
+related syntax.
+
+To understand the extension, take a look at the ICU
+MessageFormat syntax as specified by the ICU documentation.
+Anywhere in that MessageFormat that you have regular message
+text and you want to substitute an expression, just put it
+in double curlies instead of single curlies that
+MessageFormat dictates.  This has a huge advantage.  **You
+are no longer limited to simple identifiers for
+substitutions**.  Because you are using double curlies, you
+can stick in any arbitrary interpolation syntax there,
+including nesting more MessageFormat expressions!  Some
+examples will make this clear.  In the following example, I
+will only be showing you the AngularJS syntax.
+
+
+### Simple plural example
+
+```
+{{numMessages, plural,
+      =0 { You have no new messages }
+      =1 { You have one new message }
+   other { You have # new messages }
+}}
+```
+
+While I won't be teaching you MessageFormat here, you will
+note that the `#` symbol works as expected.  You could have
+also written it as:
+
+```
+{{numMessages, plural,
+      =0 { You have no new messages }
+      =1 { You have one new message }
+   other { You have {{numMessages}} new messages }
+}}
+```
+
+where you explicitly typed in `numMessages` for "other"
+instead of using `#`.  They are nearly the same except if
+you're using "offset".  Refer to the ICU MessageFormat
+documentation to learn about offset.
+
+Please note that **other** is a **required** category (for
+both the plural syntax and the select syntax that is shown
+later.)
+
+
+### Simple select (for gender) example
+
+```
+{{friendGender, select,
+       male { Invite him }
+     female { Invite her }
+      other { Invite them }
+}}
+```
+
+### More complex example that combines some of these
+
+This is taken from the [plunker example](http://plnkr.co/edit/QBVRQ70dvKZDWmHW9RyR?p=preview) linked to earlier.
+
+```
+{{recipients.length, plural, offset:1
+    =0 {You ({{sender.name}}) gave no gifts}
+    =1 { {{ recipients[0].gender, select,
+              male {You ({{sender.name}}) gave him ({{recipients[0].name}}) a gift.}
+              female {You ({{sender.name}}) gave her ({{recipients[0].name}}) a gift.}
+              other {You ({{sender.name}}) gave them ({{recipients[0].name}}) a gift.}
+          }}
+       }
+    one { {{ recipients[0].gender, select,
+              male {You ({{sender.name}}) gave him ({{recipients[0].name}}) and one other person a gift.}
+              female {You ({{sender.name}}) gave her ({{recipients[0].name}}) and one other person a gift.}
+              other {You ({{sender.name}}) gave them ({{recipients[0].name}}) and one other person a gift.}
+          }}
+       }
+    other {You ({{sender.name}}) gave {{recipients.length}} people gifts. }
+}}
+```
