Each docs example has an `example-config.json` configuration file. Among
other things, this file can be used to specify what commands to run in
order to test the example. (If not specified, the `run-example-e2e.js`
script will run a default `yarn e2e` command.)
Previously, the property specifying the test commands was called `e2e`.
This is because in the past only e2e tests were run for docs examples.
Since recently, some examples may specify commands for other types of
tests (such as unit tests). Therefore, calling the property that holds
the list of test commands `e2e` no longer makes sense and can be
misleading to people looking at the configuration files.
This commit renamed the property to the more generic `tests`. In the
future, the `run-example-e2e.js` script (and corresponding npm script)
should be renamed and refactored to also avoid giving the impression
that only e2e tests are run.

With TS 3.7, these examples were running into the error below (e.g. on https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/574906#tests/containers/0):
```

This happened because of https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5348.
It's unclear why this typings problem does not affect `ng e2e` runs, and only affects `tsc` runs.
For now it seems sensible to alter the tests to compile only the app and not the e2e, since the intent of 2cc954d5a5 was never to verify the correctness of the e2e in the first place.
We still need a release of protractor that supports TS 3.7 though, but at least it doesn't seem to block our update proper.

Previously, some RxJS-related examples (which are not proper Angular apps) were not
tested on CI as part of the `example-e2e` npm script. This meant that the examples
could get out-of-date or contain compile errors without as noticing.
This commit ensures that the `example-e2e` script picks up these examples and checks
that they compile successfully.
Partly addresses #28017.
