Feature Request: Update to latest AngularDart package name: angular ("drop the 2")

[paulreimer]

Last release to angular2 was 3.1.0 on Aug 31, 2017, deprecated and renamed to just angular now. Which is at version 4. Different from upstream 'angular/angular' (which it split from), this one is 'dart-lang/angular'. You can tell because the logo is blue.

Can't even make this stuff up.

Did you have a question, @paulreimer ?

We've gone through some crazy transitions, absolutely. Sorry if they've been confusing. We'll have a lot more information at https://events.dartlang.org/2018/dartconf/ next week

OK I made in clear in the title it is a "feature" request. Specific reasons are to use the latest recommended upstream version of angular and not a deprecated version. All the documentation seems to reflect using this new naming so... just seems like something every angular2 project/library will need to do eventually. I'm at it myself, currently (s/angular2/angular/), just noting it here -- I bet others starting with Firebase + AngularDart are in a similar situation.

These transitions are way more fun than Angular JS 1.x -> 2.x! Watercooler chat about Angular versions is just funny, now, & we all get it -- it is cleaner. Personally I love the whole "red team"/"blue team" thing ("red pill" / "blue pill"?).

FWIW I just worked through this tutorial which uses angular: ^4.0.0 and firebase: ^4.0.0, and demonstrates the use of Auth, RTDB, and Storage:
https://dart.academy/build-a-real-time-chat-web-app-with-dart-angular-2-and-firebase-3/

I think I'll be able to use the structure/logic from that, and the UI setup from here, to achieve a correctly-branded Google Sign In flow.
