cf7292fcb1 refactor(router): improve recognition and generation pipeline
This is a big change. @matsko also deserves much of the credit for the implementation.

Previously, `ComponentInstruction`s held all the state for async components.
Now, we introduce several subclasses for `Instruction` to describe each type of navigation.

BREAKING CHANGE:

Redirects now use the Link DSL syntax. Before:

```
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/foo', redirectTo: '/bar' },
  { path: '/bar', component: BarCmp }
])
```

After:

```
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/foo', redirectTo: ['Bar'] },
  { path: '/bar', component: BarCmp, name: 'Bar' }
])
```

BREAKING CHANGE:

This also introduces `useAsDefault` in the RouteConfig, which makes cases like lazy-loading
and encapsulating large routes with sub-routes easier.

Previously, you could use `redirectTo` like this to expand a URL like `/tab` to `/tab/posts`:

@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/tab', redirectTo: '/tab/users' }
  { path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }

Now the recommended way to handle this is case is to use `useAsDefault` like so:

```
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }

@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/posts', component: PostsCmp, useAsDefault: true, name: 'Posts' },
  { path: '/users', component: UsersCmp, name: 'Users' }
])
TabsCmp { ... }
```

In the above example, you can write just `['/Tab']` and the route `Users` is automatically selected as a child route.

7d83959be5 refactor(router): rename "as" to "name" in RouteConfig
BREAKING CHANGE:

This is a rename to make routing concepts easier to understand.

Before:

```
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/', component: MyCmp, as: 'Home' }
])
```

After:

```
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/', component: MyCmp, name: 'Home' }
])
```
