fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): ensure native async is downlevelled in third-party libraries

Application code (TS files) will only contain native async if the TypeScript configuration target is ES2017+. However, third-party libraries can contain native async regardless of the target option. To address these third-party libraries, all non-application files need to be analyzed to determine if they must have native async downlevelled. The analysis is first resource path based and then a string match search for the async keyword. This approach has the potential for rare false positives (for example, the word async in a comment) but the outcome would only be a small amount of additional processing for that one file due to the no-op transformation. This is in contrast to a more exact method covering those rare false positives but that would require a more expensive analysis operation on every file and result in longer overall build times.
