In the past, server-side rendered apps needed to convert URLs used in
API requests to absolute when rendering on the server. Originally, this
was handled in the `universal` guide and corresponding example app by
modifying the `HeroService` to use `APP_BASE_HREF` to derive the
absolute URL.
In #28956, the guide was updated to show an improved method: Specifying
an `HttpInterceptor` that took care of converting the URLs to absolute.
That interceptor was only provided when rendering the app on the server.
By mistake, the corresponding example app was not updated along with the
guide.
Since `@nguniversal/*` v7.1.0, it is no longer necessary to convert the
URLs to absolute inside the app. This is handled in the `@nguniversal`
libs (see angular/universal#897).
This commit updates the example app to remove unnecessary code and
modifies the guide to mention the issue with absolute URLs, but explain
that developers only need to worry about it when not using one of the
`@nguniversal/*-engine` packages.

Previously, there were no tests for the `universal` docs example. This
meant that the project was not tested at all (not even ensuring that it
can be built successfully).
This commit adds e2e tests for the `universal` example (ported from
`toh-pt6` and cleaned up) and also verifies that the project can be
built successfully (including the server).

As mentioned in the `universal` guide, the `toh-pt6` examples is the
starting poitn for the `universal` example. However, the two examples
had become out-of-sync, because some fixes/changes were made to the
Tour-of-Heroes examples.
This commit ports these changes to the `universal` example.

Previously, only e2e tests were run for docs examples on CI. As a
result, unit tests (which are included in the zipped archives we provide
for users to download and play with the examples locally) were often
outdated and broken.
This commit configures specific docs examples that have meaningful unit
tests to run them on CI (via the `run-example-e2e.js` script). Where
necessary, the unit tests are fixed to ensure they pass and reflect the
changes in the corresponding component/service.
This commit also removes some auto-generated unit tests that are not
meaningful (e.g. make trivial assertions, such that a component instance
is truthy) and are often broken anyway (e.g. because the corresponding
component has been changed in ways that make the tests fail).

The `removeSystemJsConfig` and `type` properties (present in some
`zipper.json` files) are now obsolete and are not taken into account by
the example zipper:
- `removeSystemJsConfig` is no longer relevant since most examples have
been migrated to use the CLI.
- `type` is no longer relevant, because the project type is determined
based on the `projectType` property in `example-config.json` files.
This commit removes these properties from `zipper.json` files and
updates the `example-zipper` docs to not mention them.

Clearing array with setting length to 0 replaced with [] for being short
and marginally efficient. For reference: [] is turned into a sequence of
around 15 machine instructions on x64 (if bump pointer allocation succeeds),
whereas a.length=0 is a C++ runtime function call, which requires 10-100x as
many instructions.
