TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
Note that this does not yet include enabling the view engine
by default.
Included refactoring:
- view engine: split namespace of elements / attributes already
when creating the `NodeDef`
- view engine: when injecting the old `Renderer`, use an implementation
that is based on `RendererV2`
- view engine: store view queries in the component view, not
on the host element
BREAKING CHANGE: Classes that derive from `AsyncPipe` and override
`transform()` might not compile correctly. Use of `async` pipe in
templates is unaffected.
Mitigation: Update derived classes of `AsyncPipe` that override
`transform()` to include the type parameter overloads.

BREAKING CHANGE:
- `KeyValueDifferFactory` and `IterableDifferFactory` no longer have `ChangeDetectorRef` as
a parameter. It was not used and has been there for historical reasons. If you call
`DifferFactory.create(...)` remove the `ChangeDetectorRef` argument.
Note that the duplication in tsconfig.json files will be fixed in a followup CL now that we have tsconfig inheritance
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular 4 will support only TypeScript 2.1, so we no longer provide backwards compatibility to TS 1.8.
Subclassing errors is problematic since Error returns a
new instance. All of the patching which we do than prevent
proper application of source maps.

Note, this affects the underlying class and should not affect usage.
DEPRECATION:
- the `NgFor` class is now deprecated. Use `NgForOf<T>` instead.
IMPORTANT: Only the `NgFor` class is deprecated, not the `ngFor`
directive. The `*ngFor` and related directives are unaffected by
this change as references to the `NgFor` class generated from
templates will be automatically converted to references to
`NgForOf<T>` without requiring any template modifications.
- `TrackByFn` is now deprecated. Use `TrackByFunction<T>` instead.
Migration:
- Replace direct references to the `NgFor` class to `NgForOf<any>`.
- Replace references to `TrackByFn` to `TrackByFunction<any>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A definition of `Iterable<T>` is now required to correctly compile
Angular applications. Support for `Iterable<T>` is not required at
runtime but a type definition `Iterable<T>` must be available.
`NgFor`, and now `NgForOf<T>`, already supports `Iterable<T>` at
runtime. With this change the type definition is updated to reflect
this support.
Migration:
- add "es2015.iterable.ts" to your tsconfig.json "libs" fields.

Allow NgComponentOutlet to dynamically load a module, then load a component from
that module. Useful for lazy loading code, then add the lazy loaded code to the
page using NgComponentOutlet.
Closes#14043
- Introduce `InjectionToken<T>` which is a parameterized and type-safe
version of `OpaqueToken`.
DEPRECATION:
- `OpaqueToken` is now deprecated, use `InjectionToken<T>` instead.
- `Injector.get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any` is now deprecated
use the same method which is now overloaded as
`Injector.get<T>(token: Type<T>|InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T): T;`.
Migration
- Replace `OpaqueToken` with `InjectionToken<?>` and parameterize it.
- Migrate your code to only use `Type<?>` or `InjectionToken<?>` as
injection tokens. Using other tokens will not be supported in the
future.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Because `injector.get()` is now parameterize it is possible that code
which used to work no longer type checks. Example would be if one
injects `Foo` but configures it as `{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}`.
The injection instance will be that of `MockFoo` but the type will be
`Foo` instead of `any` as in the past. This means that it was possible
to call a method on `MockFoo` in the past which now will fail type
check. See this example:
```
class Foo {}
class MockFoo extends Foo {
setupMock();
}
var PROVIDERS = [
{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}
];
...
function myTest(injector: Injector) {
var foo = injector.get(Foo);
// This line used to work since `foo` used to be `any` before this
// change, it will now be `Foo`, and `Foo` does not have `setUpMock()`.
// The fix is to downcast: `injector.get(Foo) as MockFoo`.
foo.setUpMock();
}
```

- remove outer `<div>` in tests,
- use `<ng-container>` instead of `<template>` where possible,
- use *... instead of template (tag or attr) where possible.
Fixes#13816
CHANGES:
- Remove unused `onDestroy` method on the `KeyValueDiffer` and
`IterableDiffer`.
DEPRECATION:
- `CollectionChangeRecord` is renamed to `IterableChangeRecord`.
`CollectionChangeRecord` is aliased to `IterableChangeRecord` and is
marked as `@deprecated`. It will be removed in `v5.x.x`.
- Deprecate `DefaultIterableDiffer` as it is private class which
was erroneously exposed.
- Deprecate `KeyValueDiffers#factories` as it is private field which
was erroneously exposed.
- Deprecate `IterableDiffers#factories` as it is private field which
was erroneously exposed.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `IterableChangeRecord` is now an interface and parameterized on `<V>`.
This should not be an issue unless your code does
`new IterableChangeRecord` which it should not have a reason to do.

Original PR #12570Fixes#13382
The existing intl.ts file is not a facade but
rather a set of utils used by i18n-related pipes only.
As such moving it back to common module so those utils
are not used accidently from other places.
NgIf syntax has been extended to support else clause to display template
when the condition is false. In addition the condition value can now
be stored in local variable, for later reuse. This is especially useful
when used with the `async` pipe.
Example:
```
<div *ngIf="userObservable | async; else loading; let user">
Hello {{user.last}}, {{user.first}}!
</div>
<template #loading>Waiting...</template>
```
