With this change ngc now accepts a `-w` or a `--watch`
command-line option that will automatically perform a
recompile whenever any source files change on disk.

Uses Domino - https://github.com/fgnass/domino and removes dependency on
Parse5.
The DOCUMENT and nativeElement were never typed earlier and were
different on the browser(DOM nodes) and the server(Parse5 nodes). With
this change, platform-server also exposes a DOCUMENT and nativeElement
that is closer to the client. If you were relying on nativeElement on
the server, you would have to change your code to use the DOM API now
instead of Parse5 AST API.
Removes the need to add services for each and every Document
manipulation like Title/Meta etc.
This does *not* provide a global variable 'document' or 'window' on the
server. You still have to inject DOCUMENT to get the document backing
the current platform server instance.
In previous version of tsickle abstract class methods were materialized.
The change resulted in 6Kb savings in angular.io bundle.
This change also required the removal of `@private` and `@return` type
annotation as it is explicitly dissalowed by tsickle.
NOTE: removed casts in front of `makeDecorator` due to:

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
`flush()` can now be used from within fakeAsync tests to simulate moving
time forward until all macrotask events have been cleared from the
event queue.
Previous to 2.x there were some source maps distrubted, but they didn't go
all the way back to the TypeScript sources and they weren't available for
all JavaScript distrubted to NPM.
With this change source maps will be available for FESM distributions as
well as UMD and will go all the way back to TypeScript sources.
