With these changes, the types are a little stricter now and also not
compatible with Protractor's jasmine-like syntax. So, we have to also
use `@types/jasminewd2` for e2e tests (but not for non-e2e tests).
I also had to "augment" `@types/jasminewd2`, because the latest
typings from [DefinitelyTyped][1] do not reflect the fact that the
`jasminewd2` version (v2.1.0) currently used by Protractor supports
passing a `done` callback to a spec.

This propagates other custom equality testers added by users. Additionally, if
an Angular project is using jasmine 2.6+, it will allow Jasmine's custom object
differ to print out pretty test error messages.

It's illegal to coerce a Symbol to a string, and results in a TypeError:
TypeError: Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string
Previously, the custom jasmineToString() method monkey-patched onto Maps
in platform-browser/testing/src/matchers.ts would coerce keys and values
to strings. A change in a newer version of Jasmine calls this method more
often, resulting in calls against Maps which contain Symbols in some
applications, which causes crashes.
The fix is to explicitly convert keys and values to strings, which does
work on Symbols.
