We have some internal proxies for all of the Jasmine functions, as well as some other helpers. This code hasn't been touched in more than 5 years, it can lead to confusion and it isn't really necessary since the same can be achieved using Jasmine.
These changes remove most of the code and clean up our existing unit tests.

Before this change, when Google Chrome cancels a XMLHttpRequest, an Observable of the response
never finishes. This happens, for example, when you put your computer to sleep or just press
Ctrl+S to save the browser page. After this commit, if request is canceled or aborted an
appropriate Observable will be completed with an error.
Fixes#22324

When using the [timeout attribute](https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/#the-timeout-attribute) and an XHR
request times out, browsers trigger the `timeout` event (and execute the XHR's `ontimeout`
callback). Additionally, Safari 9 handles timed-out requests in the same way, even if no `timeout`
has been explicitly set on the XHR.
In the above cases, `HttpClient` would fail to capture the XHR's completing (with an error), so
the corresponding `Observable` would never complete.

1. update jasmine to 3.5
2. update @types/jasmine to 3.5
3. update @types/jasminewd2 to 2.0.8
Also fix several cases, the new jasmine 3 will help to create test cases correctly,
such as in the `jasmine 2.x` version, the following case will pass
```
expect(1 == 2);
```
But in jsamine 3, the case will need to be
```
expect(1 == 2).toBeTrue();
```

Previously, XhrBackend would call JSON.parse('') if the response body was
empty (a 200 status code with content-length 0). This changes the XhrBackend
to attempt the JSON parse only if the response body is non-empty. Otherwise,
the body is left as null.

Currently HttpClient sends requests for JSON data with the
XMLHttpRequest.responseType set to 'json'. With this flag, the browser
will attempt to parse the response as JSON, but will return 'null' on
any errors. If the JSON response contains an XSSI-prevention prefix,
this will cause the browser's parsing to fail, which is unrecoverable.
The only compelling reason to use the responseType 'json' is for
performance (especially if the browser offloads JSON parsing to a
separate thread). I'm not aware of any browser which does this currently,
nor of any plans to do so. JSON.parse and responseType 'json' both
end up using the same V8 code path in Chrome to implement the parse.
Thus, this change switches all JSON parsing in HttpClient to use
JSON.parse directly.
Fixes#18396, #18453.

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
