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).

There were two `typings.d.ts` files with SystemJS module definitions in
`aio/src/` and `aio/tools/examples/shared/boilerplate/cli/`. These are
remnants from old CLI versions that used SystemJS and are no longer
needed. For docs examples specifically, these files were never copied
over to example projects and thus not included in StackBlitz projects
and ZIP archives.
This commit removes these obsolete files.

In #35381, a new Protractor config file was introduced in docs examples,
`protractor-puppeteer.conf.js`, that was only supposed to be used on CI
and not be shipped with the ZIP archives provided for users to download
and experiment with the docs examples locally.
The logic to ignore the `protractor-puppeteer.conf.js` file was
incorrect, resulting in the file being retained in some examples (e.g.
[universal][1]). The problem was not immediately obvious, because most
examples explicitly specify all `**/*.js` files as ignored, but for
other examples the file was retained in the ZIP archive.
This commit fixes the logic to ensure the file is excluded from all docs
examples ZIP archives.

In #35049, integration and AIO tests were changed to use the browser
provided by `puppeteer` in tests. This commit switches the docs examples
tests to use the same setup.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
The examples are used to create ZIP archives that docs users can
download to experiment with. Since we want the downloaded projects to
resemble an `@angular/cli` generated project, we do not want to affect
the project's Protractor configuration in order to use `puppeteer`.
To achieve this, a second Protractor configuration is created (which is
ignored when creating the ZIP archives) that extends the original one
and passes the approperiate arguments to use the browser provided by
`puppeteer`. This new configuration (`protractor-puppeteer.conf.js`) is
used when running the docs examples tests (on CI or locally during
development).
