build: remove webpack process and replace with tsc

[CaerusKaru]

We originally recommended using Webpack and a transpilation step to improve 3rd party compatibility since 3rd party modules were often not shipped in a format compatible with NodeJS. Now we believe that the ecosystem has improved with the introduction of the Angular CLI's library bundling feature, so this is no longer needed. We are recommending not using Webpack to improve your developer experience

Looks good, just needs description as to why we're making this change

Angular CLI's library bundling feature

@CaerusKaru do you mean bundleDependencies option in angular.json?
I can't make this option work. Have a look at angular/angular-cli#12273

Hey guys, I was on reading up on the Angular Quickstart guide and it still recommends using Webpack when setting up SSR. https://angular.io/guide/universal#step-5-pack-and-run-the-app-on-the-server Anyway we can get that updated? Not sure who to address but thought this was a good place to start.

@bflopez Unfortunately we had to revert this change in #652
We thought that enough 3rd party packages had updated their build process to include Nodejs compatible artifacts, we were wrong and still rely on webpack to transform any ESM modules into CommonJS

[bflopez]

@Toxicable Ah gotcha. Ok sorry still a little confused, excuse my ignorance. Does #652 still need to be merged into master?

is it now possible to build:ssr with out webpack?
I applied what you did with server.tsconfig.json but didn't work.
I am still using webpack.config
