This change fixes an incompatibility between the old `@angular/http` package
and its successor (`@angular/common/http`) by re-introducing the types that were supported before.
It now allows to use number and boolean directly as HTTP params, instead of having to convert it to string first.
Before:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page: `${page}` } });
After:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page }});
`HttpParams` has also been updated to have most of its methods accept number or boolean values.
Fixes#23856
BREAKING CHANGE:
The methods of the `HttpParams` class now accept `string | number | boolean`
instead of `string` for the value of a parameter.
If you extended this class in your application,
you'll have to update the signatures of your methods to reflect these changes.

They aim to improve code readability.
Since they are defined by `const enum` they have zero runtime performance impact
over just using constant literals.

Adds an `appendAll()` method to `HttpParams` that can construct the HTTP
request/response body from an object of parameters and values.
This avoids calling `append()` multiple times when multiple parameters
need to be added.

The `HttpParamsOptions` was not documented or included in the public API even
though it is a constructor argument of `HttpParams` which is a part of the
public API. This commit adds the `HttpParamsOptions` into the exports, thus
making it a part of the public API.

When the response type is JSON, the `put()` overload signature did not have `reportProgress`
and `params` options. This makes it difficult to type-check this overload.
This commit adds them to the overload signature.
