Previously, `ExampleZipper` (the tool used for creating ZIP archives
from our docs examples) used the `PackageJsonCustomizer` to generate
`package.json` files for each example type. This had the following
drawbacks:
- The generated files had to be kept up-to-date with the corresponding
boilerplate files in `aio/tools/examples/shared/boilerplate/` and
there was no easy way to find out when the files got out-of-sync.
- The `PackageJsonCustomizer` logic was non-trivial and difficult to
reason about.
- The same information was duplicated in the boilerplate files and the
customizer configuration files.
This setup was useful when we used a single `package.json` file for all
docs examples. Now, however, each example type can have its own
boilerplate `package.json` file, including scripts and dependencies
relevant to the example type. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to
generate `package.json` files for ZIP archives.
This commit eliminates the drawbacks mentioned above and simplifies the
`ExampleZipper` tool by removing `PackageJsonCustomizer` and re-using
the boilerplate `package.json` files for ZIP archives.
The changes in this commit also fix some ZIP archives that were
previously broken (for example due to missing dependencies).

There were some `systemjs.config.web[.build].js` files in the `systemjs`
boilerplate directory that are not used any more. In the past, these
files were used in the Plunker-based live examples, but we no longer use
Plunker for live examples.
This commit removes these obsolete files.
