Currently HttpClient sends requests for JSON data with the
XMLHttpRequest.responseType set to 'json'. With this flag, the browser
will attempt to parse the response as JSON, but will return 'null' on
any errors. If the JSON response contains an XSSI-prevention prefix,
this will cause the browser's parsing to fail, which is unrecoverable.
The only compelling reason to use the responseType 'json' is for
performance (especially if the browser offloads JSON parsing to a
separate thread). I'm not aware of any browser which does this currently,
nor of any plans to do so. JSON.parse and responseType 'json' both
end up using the same V8 code path in Chrome to implement the parse.
Thus, this change switches all JSON parsing in HttpClient to use
JSON.parse directly.

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
`Object.assign` is not available in all supported browsers and one had to
provide a polyfill. This commit replaces `Object.assign` with the spread
operator (`...`), which TypeScript will transpile to ES5-compatible code.
Destructuring of the form:
function foo({a, b}: {a?, b?} = {})
breaks strictNullChecks, due to the TypeScript bug https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/10078.
This change eliminates usage of destructuring in function argument lists in cases where it would leak
into the public API .d.ts.
Only one h1 is allowed per document, and this is provided by the template.
So we cannot have any h1 tags (or `#` markdown shorthand) in any API docs.
Closes#16193
* feat(common): support `as` syntax in template/* bindings
Closes#15020
Showing the new and the equivalent old syntax.
- `*ngIf="exp as var1”`
=> `*ngIf="exp; let var1 = ngIf”`
- `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async as items”`
=> `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async; let items = ngForOf”`
* feat(common): convert ngIf to use `*ngIf="exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): convert ngForOf to use `*ngFor=“let i of exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): expose NgForOfContext and NgIfContext

Before this change there was a single injector tree.
Now we have 2 injector trees, one for the modules and one for the components.
This fixes lazy loading modules.
See the design docs for details:

BREAKING CHANGES
`ComponentFactory.create()` takes an extra optional `NgModuleRef` parameter.
No change should be required in user code as the correct module will be used
when none is provided
DEPRECATIONS
The following methods were used internally and are no more required:
- `RouterOutlet.locationFactoryResolver`
- `RouterOutlet.locationInjector`
