Within an Angular package, it can happen that there are
entry-points which do not contain features that belong into
an `@NgModule` or need metadata files to be generated.
For example: the `cdk`, `cdk/testing` and `cdk/coercion`
entry-points. Besides other entry-points in the `cdk`
package, those entry-points do not need metadata to
be generated and no not use the `ng_module` rule.
Currently the "ng_package" rule properly picks up such
entry-points and builds bundles, does downleveling etc.
The only thing it misses is that no `package.json` files
are generated for the entry-point. This means that consumers
will not be able to use these entry-points built with "ts_library"
(except accessing the individual bundlings explicitly).
The "ng_package" rule should follow the full APF specification
for such entry-points. Partially building bundles and doing the
downleveling is confusing and a breaking issue.
The motifivation of supporting this (besides making the
rule behavior consistent; the incomplete output is not
acceptable), is that using the "ng_module" rule does
not make sense to be used for non-Angular entry-points.
Especially since it depends on Angular packages to
be specified as Bazel action inputs just to compile
vanilla TypeScript with `@angular/compiler-cli`.

* No longer depends on a custom CircleCI docker image that comes with Bazel pre-installed. Since Bazel is now available through NPM, we should be able to use the version from `@bazel/bazel` in order to enforce a consistent environment on CI and locally.
* This also reduces the amount of packages that need to be published (ngcontainer is removed)

This lets projects like Material change ng_package "bundle index" files to non-conflicting paths
Currently packages like @angular/core ship with the generated metadata
in a path like 'core.js' which overwrites one of the inputs.
Angular material puts the generated file in a path like 'index.js'
Either way these files generated by ng_module rules have the potential
to collide with inputs given by the user, which results in an error.
Instead, give users the freedom to choose a different non-conflicting name.
Also this refactors the ng_package rule, removing the redundant
secondary_entry_points attribute.
Instead, we assume that any ng_module in the deps with a module_name
attribute is a secondary entry point.

Angular Package Format v6 stops bundling files in the esm5 and esm2015
directories, now that Webpack 4 can tree-shake per-file.
Adds some missing files like package.json to make packages closer to
what we publish today.
Refactor ng_package to be a type of npm_package and re-use the packaging
action from that rule.
