__decorate helper should not use `this` when targeting modules

TypeScript Version: 3.7.x-dev.201xxxxx

Search Terms: __decorate this module

Code

class Foo {
  @property() x = 1;
}

Expected behavior:
Top-level this reference is not emitted.

Actual behavior:

The __decrate variable is declared like:

var __decorate = (this && this.__decorate) || function (decorators, target, key, desc) {

Since top-level this is always undefined in modules, (this && this.__decorate) || can be omitted. It's only a few bytes, but the presence of top-level this also causes warnings in other downstream tools like Rollup.

A few other things could be fixed for an ES6+ helper, btw:

• Use const instead of var (allows for some VM optimizations)
• Remove Reflect.decorate
• Don't use arguments

Reproduce the example from the linked TypeScript Playground using the reported 3.7.x-dev version or current compiler, and inspect the emitted __decorate helper. Trace the compiler entry point that emits this helper; done means module output no longer includes the top-level this reference while decorator behavior remains intact.
