In some cases, we want to test the AIO app or docs examples against the locally built `angular-in-memory-web-api` for example to ensure that the changes in a commit do not introduce a breaking changes.
PR Close#41313
With this change we move `XhrFactory` to the root entrypoint of `@angular/commmon`, this is needed so that we can configure `XhrFactory` DI token at a platform level, and not add a dependency between `@angular/platform-browser` and `@angular/common/http`.
Currently, when using `HttpClientModule` in a child module on the server, `ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined` is being thrown because the child module has its own Injector and causes `XhrFactory` provider to be configured to use `BrowserXhr`.
Therefore, we should configure the `XhrFactory` at a platform level similar to other Browser specific providers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`XhrFactory` has been moved from `@angular/common/http` to `@angular/common`.
**Before**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common/http';
```
**After**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common';
```
