This is needed as:
- closure declares globals itself for minified names, which sometimes clobber our `ng` global
- we can't declare a closure extern as the namespace `ng` is already used within Google for typings for angularJS (via `goog.provide('ng....')`).
Fixes#14638
Uses Domino - https://github.com/fgnass/domino and removes dependency on
Parse5.
The DOCUMENT and nativeElement were never typed earlier and were
different on the browser(DOM nodes) and the server(Parse5 nodes). With
this change, platform-server also exposes a DOCUMENT and nativeElement
that is closer to the client. If you were relying on nativeElement on
the server, you would have to change your code to use the DOM API now
instead of Parse5 AST API.
Removes the need to add services for each and every Document
manipulation like Title/Meta etc.
This does *not* provide a global variable 'document' or 'window' on the
server. You still have to inject DOCUMENT to get the document backing
the current platform server instance.
BREAKING CHANGE: `NgProbeToken` has been removed from `@angular/platform-browser` as it was deprecated since v4. Import it from `@angular/core` instead.

Angular can make many assumptions about its event handlers. As a result
the bookkeeping for native addEventListener is significantly cheaper
than Zone's addEventLister which can't make such assumptions.
This change bypasses the Zone's addEventListener if present and always
uses the native addEventHandler. As a result registering event listeners
is about 3 times faster.

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
