Alex Rickabaugh 1b1d5f10a1 feat(common): accept object map for HttpClient headers & params (#18490)
Today, constructing a new GET request with headers looks like:

const headers = new HttpHeaders({
  'My-Header': 'header value',
});
http.get('/url', {headers}).subscribe(...);

This indirection is unnecessary. It'd be more ergonomic to write:

http.get('/url', {headers: {'My-Header': 'header value'}}).subscribe(...);

This commit allows that new syntax, both for HttpHeaders and HttpParams.
In the HttpParams case it also allows construction of HttpParams with a map.

Alex Rickabaugh 37797e2b4e feat(common): new HttpClient API
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.

The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:

* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
