chore(docs): Document disabling the control flow

* Added information about `SELENIUM_PROMISE_MANAGER` to `docs/control-flow.md`,
  including pointing to `/spec/ts/` for examples
* Added `docs/async-await.md`, which redirects to
  `exampleTypescript/asyncAwait/README.md`.
* Updated `exampleTypescript/asyncAwait/README.md`, including pointing to
  `/spec/ts/` for more examples.
* Added `docs/typescript.md`, which redirects to `/exampleTypescript/`.
* Added information about `@types/jasminewd2` to `exampleTypescript/README.md`.

Website updates to come in a future change.

Closes angular#3692.

 A short summary about how Protractor interacts with the control flow is presented below.
 
+Disabling the Control Flow
+--------------------------
+
+In the future, the control flow is being removed (see
+[SeleniumHQ's github issue](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2969)
+for details).  To disable the control flow in your tests, you can use the
+`SELENIUM_PROMISE_MANAGER: false` [config option](/lib/config.ts#L644).
+
+Instead of the control flow, you can synchronize your commands
+with promise chaining or the upcoming ES7 feature `async`/`await`.  See
+[`/spec/ts/`](/spec/ts/) for examples of tests with the control flow disabled.
+
+Because `async`/`await` uses native promises, it will make the Control Flow
+unreliable.  As such, if you're writing a library or plugin which needs to work
+whether or not the Control Flow is enabled, you'll need to handle
+synchronization using promise chaining.

 Compiling `async`/`await` syntax
 ================================
 
 `async`/`await` syntax is currently accessible via typescript if you compile
-using `tsc -t ES2015 <files>`.  You can also compile it using [regenerator](
+using `--target ES2015` or above.  You can also compile it using [regenerator](
