BREAKING CHANGE: Http now returns Rx Observables directly, so calling .toRx() is no longer necessary. Additionally, Http calls are now cold, so backend requests will not fire unless .subscribe() is called.

This requires delicate handling of type definitions which collide, because
we use TypeScript-provided lib.d.ts for --target=es5 and lib.es6.d.ts for
--target=es6.
We need to include our polyfill typings only in the --target=es5 case,
and the usages have to be consistent with lib.es6.d.ts.
Also starting with this change we now typecheck additional modules,
so this fixes a bunch of wrong typings which were never checked before.

BREAKING CHANGES:
Dart applications and TypeScript applications meant to transpile to Dart must now
import `package:angular2/bootstrap.dart` instead of `package:angular2/angular2.dart`
in their bootstrap code. `package:angular2/angular2.dart` no longer export the
bootstrap function. The transformer rewrites imports of `bootstrap.dart` and calls
to `bootstrap` to `bootstrap_static.dart` and `bootstrapStatic` respectively.
The BaseRequestOptions class is responsible for declaring default values,
while the RequestOptions class is merely responsible for setting values
based on values provided in the constructor.
This implementation only works in JavaScript, while the Observable transpilation
story gets worked out. Right now, the service just makes a simple request,
and returns an Observable of Response.
Additional functionality will be captured in separate issues.
