There are external resources that link to the old URLs. In order to avoid
breaking them, the old URLs are redirected to the new ones.
Fixes#15795Closes#16133
PR Close#16162
Previously, all URLs were rewritten to `index.html` in order to support
deep-linking. This works when navigating to URLs that correspond to existing
resources. E.g. navigating to `/tutorial` returns `index.html` and then the
`DocViewer` takes over and requests `tutorial.json`.
Navigating to a non-existent URL (e.g. `/foo`), will return `index.html`, which
in turn requests (the non-existent) `foo.json` and throws an error when trying
to parse the returned `index.html` as JSON.
This commit fixes it by only rewriting URLs that do not request a file (i.e. do
not include a `.` in the last path segment).

This reverts commit d0bc83ca27.
Protractor-based prerendering is flakey on Travis and takes several minutes to
complete, slowing down the build. Prerendering has a lower impact now that we
use a ServiceWorker. We will revisit in the future (probably using a
`PlatformServer`-based approach).

All the docs related files (docs-app, doc-gen, content, etc)
are now to be found inside the `/aio` folder.
The related gulp tasks have been moved from the top level
gulp file to a new one inside the `/aio` folder.
The structure of the `/aio` folder now looks like:
```
/aio/
build/ # gulp tasks
content/ #MARKDOWN FILES for devguides, cheatsheet, etc
devguides/
cheatsheets/
transforms/ #dgeni packages, templates, etc
src/
app/
assets/
content/ #HTML + JSON build artifacts produced by dgeni from /aio/content.
#This dir is .gitignored-ed
e2e/ #protractor tests for the doc viewer app
node_modules/ #dependencies for both the doc viewer builds and the dgeni stuff
#This dir is .gitignored-ed
gulpfile.js #Tasks for generating docs and building & deploying the doc viewer
```
