Firebase used to do it automatically (with `cleanUrls: true`), but it
stopped doing it unless the resulting URL corresponds to an existing
file (which is not always the case in angular.io; e.g. the resulting URL
might be matched by a new redirect rule).
This change in Firebase hosting behavior resulted in some URLs not being
correctly redirected (e.g. URLs to the archived v2 site, or `.html`
suffixed URLs from 3rd-party sites).
This commit fixes it, by configuring Firebase hosting to strip off the
`.html` extension and redirect (if no other redirect rule matched).

As part of the tests run in the CircleCI `aio_monitoring` job, we need
to retrieve `sitemap.xml` from the site under test. Previously, the URL
used to retrieve that contained a double-slash (`//`). At some point,
Firebase (which is used for hosting the site) stopped normalizing
double-slashes to a single slash, causing the test to fail.
This commit fixes the problem by ensuring that the constructed URLs do
not contain double-slashes.

This allows URLs to be passed through to the server (where they are
properly redirected), instead of serving `index.html` from the SW.
Known issue:
`/docs/` will be passed through to the server. `/docs` (without the
trailing slash) will be correctly treated as a navigation URL and
handled by the SW.
We don't link to `/docs/` from within the app, but if there are external
links to `/docs/` they will require a round-trip to the server and will
not work in offline mode.

AIO is currently using a beta version of @angular/service-worker.
Since that was implemented, the SW has been rewritten and released
as part of Angular 5.0.0. This commit updates AIO to use the latest
implementation, with an appropriate configuration file that caches
the various AIO assets in useful ways.

The outdated webpack guide has been removed in #24478, but people might
still try to access it (via direct links or search-engine results).
Instead of returning 404, we will now redirect `/guide/webpack` to the
archived version of the guide at `v5.angular.io/guide/webpack`.

Previously, we were running the e2e tests from master against
`https://angular.io` (deployed from the stable branch). Often the e2e
tests from master do not apply to the stable branch, since the app has
deviated slightly.
This commit fixes this by stop running the full e2e tests against the
deployed versions, but a smaller set of "smoke tests", which check basic
functionality that is less likely to change between versions.
