Currently, core depends on the browser, which means that other platforms (e.g., NativeScript or webworker) cannot use the bootstrapping logic core provides.
This PR extract makes bootstrapping logic in core completely platform-independent. The browser-specific code was moved to "angular2/platforms/browser".
BREAKING CHANGE
A few private helpers (e.g., platformCommon or applicationCommon) were removed or replaced with other helpers. Look at PLATFORM_COMMON_PROVIDERS, APPLICATION_COMMON_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS to see if they export the providers you need.
Closes#5219
The test injector now uses an XHR implementation based on DOM.getXHR,
which allows the current DOM adapter to dictate which XHR impl should
be used.
To prevent the changes to DOM adapter from introducing undesired new
dependencies into the benchmarks, separate the async facade into
a promise facade which is reexported by facade/async.
