This also fixes a leak of that scope across all further instances of the
repeated element.

Fixes #16776

What is the current behavior? (You can also link to an open issue here)
The track-by function would get created on the first linking of an ng-repeat and then get cached forever, so each time that ng-repeat was re-linked (when it is repeated, or destroyed+recreated via ng-if etc.) the previous scope would be used. This also "leaks" the scope for the lifetime of that compiled node.

What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
The track-by no longer directly references the scope

For future reference, this was broken in bdd853c.

WDYT about clearing the value here? This way we don't have to touch the trackByIdExpFn method that gets invoked on each element and just add this one assignment at the end.

What about keyIdentifier? Can't is be non-primitive?

The keyIdentifier value is either an index or the itemKey from for (var itemKey in collection). So it should always be a number or string.

I rebased just to add "Ref #16776" to the second commit message, and got the build green again!
