This resolves Duplicate Identifier issues seen by many users,
at the expense of more typings installation required in some
cases.
Removes the quickstart hack of placing all needed dependencies
typings files in our distribution. Removes dependencies on
nodejs from angular2/core.

Angular now depends on es6-promise and es6-collections
(and a handful of manual typings) rather than all of es6-shim.
Fixes#5242
We previously had an undocumented breaking change, this is now
documented in this commit.
Fixes#6817
BREAKING CHANGE:
Transitive typings are no longer included in the distribution.
You may need to install typings in your project using
http://github.com/typings/typings
Users now must rely on getting typings from:
- one of the peerDependencies, such as rxjs, which exposes
typings via the moduleResolution=node mechanism.
(see https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Typings-for-npm-packages)
This happens automatically.
- Using --target ES5 now requires manual installation of
es6-promise and es6-collections typings.
- Using some angular APIs may introduce a dependency on eg. nodejs
or jasmine, and those typings need manual installation as well.
Closes#6267
This was a poorly typed attempt to mimic TypeScript's index signatures,
which we can use instead.
This eliminates a very strange type that we were exposing to users, but
not re-exporting through our public API.
