We can remove all of the entry point resolution configuration from the package.json
in our source code as ng_package rule adds the properties automatically and correctly
configures them.
This change simplifies our code base but doesn't have any impact on the package.json
in the distributed npm_packages.

This flag is picked up by webpack v4 and used for more agressive optimizations.
Our code is already side-effect free, because that's what we needed for build-optimizer to work.

* Remove now unnecessary portions of build.
* Add a compilePackageES5 method to build ES5 from sources

HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
