* Switches all examples to use dev-infra's canonical ESM-compatible
`http_server`.
* Uses ESBuild for bundling ESM into a single file, compared to having
to load hundreds of individual ESM files in the browser (potential
source of flakiness & slowness).

nodejs rules 0.34.0 now includes protractor_web_test_suite rule (via new @bazel/protractor rule) so we switch to that location for that rule in this PR so that /packages/bazel/src/protractor can be removed in a future PR
this PR also brings in node toolchain support which was released in nodejs rules 0.33.0. this is a prerequisite for RBE for mac & windows users
bazel schematics also updated with the same. @bazel/bazel 0.28.1 npm package includes transitive dep on hide-bazel-files so we're able to remove an explicit dep on that as well.

* No longer builds the example e2e tests using "tsc". The examples are now built with Bazel and can therefore be built with Ivy by using the `--define=compile=aot` switch.
* No longer runs the example e2e tests using the protractor CLI. example e2e tests are executed with the Bazel protractor rule and can therefore run incrementally.
NOTE: Unit tests found within the examples are still running within the legacy jobs.
