fix(core): establish proper injector resolution order for @defer bl…

…ocks (#55079)

This commit updates the `@defer` logic to establish proper injector resolution order. More specifically:

- Makes node injectors to be inspected first, similar to how it happens when `@defer` block is not used.
- Adds extra handling for the Router's `OutletInjector`, until we replace it with an `EnvironmentInjector`.

Resolves #54864.
Resolves #55028.
Resolves #55036.

PR Close #55079
