This PR doesn't change new projects to use 2.4 since I have seen some reports of possible problems in `@angular/*`.
Instead, it:
- removes the dependency restrictions on <2.3
- bumps related dependencies to the minimum that supports 2.4 (`rxjs@^5.4.2`, `ts-node@~3.2.0`)
- builds the CLI itself using 2.4
So if you want to install ts 2.4 in your new project, the CLI itself won't stop you.
Fix#6827
- change the URL for the API search
- use google search when --search option is true, since angular.io doesn't have a search page anymore
- improve the help and doc of the doc command

Allow controlling chunk naming via the `--named-chunks` flag, which can be set on `.angular-cli.json` as well.
Defaults to true in development, false in production.
Adds the new flag `--build-optimizer` (`--bo`), usable only with `--aot` (or `--prod` since it auto enables `--aot`).
This feature is experimental, and may not work correctly on your project. Should it work, total bundle size should go down. Savings are heavily dependent on the project.
See https://github.com/angular/devkit/tree/master/packages/angular_devkit/build_optimizer for details about all the optimizations applied.
Usage: `ng build --prod --build-optimizer`. Disabling the vendor chunk has been shown to improve total savings, and is done automatically when `--bo` is specified unless `--vendor-chunk` has a value.
Please let us know if using `--build-optimizer` breaks your project so we can improve it further. Repos are very welcome.
Adds following defaults to `.angular-cli.json` under `defaults`: `sourcemaps`, `baseHref`, `progress`, `poll`, `deleteOutputPath`, `preserveSymlinks`, `showCircularDependencies`.
They can be set via `ng set defaults.build.KEY = VALUE`.
Also removes `apps.0.showCircularDependencies`. This is not a breaking chance since it was only added in 1.3.0-beta.0.
Followup to https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/6884#discussion_r125533830.
* for several options that are saved in .angular-cli.json, I've added an explanation of what setting in the json file controls that options.
* added an explanation about what --dry-run will output.
* added possible values for --style option
* added respective documentation in the command
* also added less, sass and styl(stylus) as possible style extensions
The motivation for this change is that sometimes people would want to change some of the settings set by the cli durig ng new, that they might have not known or cared about, for example, prefix.
Two new flags are added to `ng serve`:
- `--public-host` (aliased by `--live-reload-client): Specify the URL that the browser client will use.
- `--disable-host-check`: Don't verify connected clients are part of allowed hosts.
Setting `--disable-host-check` will output a warning:
```
WARNING Running a server with --disable-host-check is a security risk. See https://medium.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server-middleware-security-issues-1489d950874a for more information.
```
See #6070 for more context about this change.
Fix#6070
before, if both blueprints and options are present, a space was missing between
them, resulting in "service--dryrun" instead of "service --dryrun"
Patch v2:
* use template string
* fix indentation of generated bash output
