The version of rxjs used to build the repository has been updated to v7.
This required only minimal changes to the code. Most of which were type
related only due to more strict types in v7. The behavior in those cases
was left intact. The most common type related change was to handle the
possibility of `undefined` with `toPromise` which was always possible with
v6 but the types did not reflect the runtime behavior. The one change that
was not type related was to provide a parameter value to the `defaultIfEmpty`
operator. It no longer defaults to a value of `null` if no default is provided.
To provide the same behavior the value of `null` is now passed to the operator.

A lot of our tests are wrapped in `{}` which serves no purpose, aside from increasing the nesting level and, in some cases, causing confusion. The braces appear to be a leftover from a time when all tests were wrapped in a `function main() {}`. The function declaration was removed in #21053, but the braces remained, presumably because it was easier to search&replace for `function main()`, but not to remove the braces at the same time.

Some libraries could use numbers in headers. this fix prevents Angular from
throwing an error by casting those numerical values into strings.

We have some internal proxies for all of the Jasmine functions, as well as some other helpers. This code hasn't been touched in more than 5 years, it can lead to confusion and it isn't really necessary since the same can be achieved using Jasmine.
These changes remove most of the code and clean up our existing unit tests.

adding optional body for HTTP delete request options. This new param added as an optional so won't break the existing code also provide the capability the send the body when and where it required.
PR Close#41723
This change fixes an incompatibility between the old `@angular/http` package
and its successor (`@angular/common/http`) by re-introducing the types that were supported before.
It now allows to use number and boolean directly as HTTP params, instead of having to convert it to string first.
Before:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page: `${page}` } });
After:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page }});
`HttpParams` has also been updated to have most of its methods accept number or boolean values.
Fixes#23856
BREAKING CHANGE:
The methods of the `HttpParams` class now accept `string | number | boolean`
instead of `string` for the value of a parameter.
If you extended this class in your application,
you'll have to update the signatures of your methods to reflect these changes.

Previously, HttpClient used the overly clever test "body || null"
to determine when a body parameter was provided. This breaks when
the valid bodies '0' or 'false' are provided.
This change tests directly against 'undefined' to detect the presence
of the body parameter, and thus correctly allows falsy values through.

Today, constructing a new GET request with headers looks like:
const headers = new HttpHeaders({
'My-Header': 'header value',
});
http.get('/url', {headers}).subscribe(...);
This indirection is unnecessary. It'd be more ergonomic to write:
http.get('/url', {headers: {'My-Header': 'header value'}}).subscribe(...);
This commit allows that new syntax, both for HttpHeaders and HttpParams.
In the HttpParams case it also allows construction of HttpParams with a map.

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
