Previously, `ExampleZipper` (the tool used for creating ZIP archives
from our docs examples) used the `PackageJsonCustomizer` to generate
`package.json` files for each example type. This had the following
drawbacks:
- The generated files had to be kept up-to-date with the corresponding
boilerplate files in `aio/tools/examples/shared/boilerplate/` and
there was no easy way to find out when the files got out-of-sync.
- The `PackageJsonCustomizer` logic was non-trivial and difficult to
reason about.
- The same information was duplicated in the boilerplate files and the
customizer configuration files.
This setup was useful when we used a single `package.json` file for all
docs examples. Now, however, each example type can have its own
boilerplate `package.json` file, including scripts and dependencies
relevant to the example type. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to
generate `package.json` files for ZIP archives.
This commit eliminates the drawbacks mentioned above and simplifies the
`ExampleZipper` tool by removing `PackageJsonCustomizer` and re-using
the boilerplate `package.json` files for ZIP archives.
The changes in this commit also fix some ZIP archives that were
previously broken (for example due to missing dependencies).

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.
