In #34955, we switched to Node.js v12 on master and 9.0.x. This causes
the `aio_monitoring_job` CI job (which checks out files from the stable
branch; currently 8.2.x) to start failing yarn's engines check (since
the 8.2.x branch expects Node.js version <11).
Example failure: https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/602499
Since the job is expected to run with files from both the stable and the
master branches (and since the version of Node.js is not important
here), this commit uses the `--ignore-engines` option to prevent
failures due to Node.js version mismatch.
NOTE:
Typically, the stable and master branch are on the same Node.js version,
because related PRs land on both master and the patch branch. One
exception is during RC periods, when the stable branch is different than
the patch branch. These periods are usually short, but in the case of
9.0.0 the period has lasted several months causing the CI environments
between master and the stable branch to get significantly out-of-sync.

Previously, the `aio_monitoring` job was testing both the stable
(https://angular.io/) and the @next (https://next.angular.io/) versions.
This commit splits the tests into two separate jobs (still run as part
of the same workflow). This speeds up the tests (since the two jobs can
now run in parallel) and makes it easier to isolate failures (e.g.
identify which branch is failing, disable one of the two, etc.).

PR Close#30110
Previously, we were running the e2e tests from master against
`https://angular.io` (deployed from the stable branch). Often the e2e
tests from master do not apply to the stable branch, since the app has
deviated slightly.
This commit fixes this by stop running the full e2e tests against the
deployed versions, but a smaller set of "smoke tests", which check basic
functionality that is less likely to change between versions.

This commit configures a periodic job to be run on CircleCI, performing several
checks against the actual apps deployed to production (https://angular.io) and
staging (https://next.angular.io).
