feat(@schematics/angular): drop polyfills.ts file from new templates

With this change we drop the `polyfills.ts` from new application projects and add the polyfills directly in the `angular.json`. This is possible as now the `polyfills` option accept an array of module specifiers.

This change also fixes another open issue (#14432) which was caused by the missing polyfills file in the library test setup.

Closes #14432
