Feature request: Easier use with Bazel-built Angular apps

[pshields]

Hi,

It would be great to use Firebase with Angular apps built with Bazel. Using Angular with Bazel and Closure to bundle Angular apps is becoming increasingly feasible; Angular itself can be built from Bazel, work is in progress to build Angular Material with Bazel, and RxJS has also already made progress becoming more easily consumed from Bazel-built apps.

I tried adding angularfire2 to my Angular/Bazel app, but ran into issues getting it working with the ts_devserver build rule. It looks like I may be able to do some wrangling to load it using SystemJS. But as alexeagle@ mentioned in angular/angular-bazel-example#56, another option worth considering is for angularfire2 to include BUILD files in its distribution and be able to be built by Bazel in addition to the current Rollup build.

Any progress towards making it easier to use angularfire2 from Bazel-built Angular apps would be appreciated!

Chatted with @davideast, I think we'll work together on this next month. It would be the same work for making angularfire available internally at google.

My work-in-progress is on this branch:

if anyone has time to pick this up and get the tests passing, that would be awesome! otherwise maybe David and I can get to it later...
