Nativescript-angular: Angular 5 support

[sis0k0]

@next tag will be published with NativeScript Angular supporting Angular 5.
Please, use NativeScript Angular 4.4.1 to target Angular 4.

• [x] [5.0.0-rc.0] - Merge initial support #1071
• [x] Update nativescript-dev-webpack to work with the new AngularCompilerPlugin https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-dev-webpack/issues/311
• [x] Update templates and NativeScript Angular apps to use Angular 5, TypeScript 2.4 (ngc depends on that version) and rxjs 5.5
• [x] Update NativeScript Animations module to be compatible with Angular 5 Animations APIs
• [ ] Research if the new i18n tooling can replace the nativescript-intl package. (https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-angular/issues/1133)

Hi, Just wondering which task is available and nobody is working on that?

[sis0k0]

@mhadaily, you can check out the brand new i18n stuff (https://angular.io/guide/i18n) in Angular 5 and how it fits in NativeScript. Right now, we are using NativeScript intl (https://github.com/nativescript/nativescript-intl) for localizations.

Highly interested in this as well.

Now that Angular 5 is out along with angular-cli 1.5, we want to leverage an nx-workspace generated project with both web and {N} apps.

@suburbanantihero We are using NX for our NativeScript Angular and Web project, it works great!

Angular 5 animations were just merged: #1114. Is that what is being mentioned in this issue with animations mention?
