fix(@angular/build): allow missing HTML file request to fallback to i…

…ndex

If a HTTP request is made to the development server that explicitly requests
an HTML file (i.e., `/abc.html`), the development server will now attempt to
fallback to the root `index.html` file if the requested HTML file does not exist.
Since this may indicate a defect or other application misconfiguration such as a
missing asset, a warning will also be issued in the console during development to
notify the developer that something may be wrong.
