We need to be able to build angular at older shas, without the lock file / shrinkwrap file
the dependencies will resolve differently on different machines and at different times.
This will help us avoid broken builds and hard to track down issues.
I had to manually edit this file after it was generated because `npm shrinkwrap` will install
optional dependencies as if they were hard dependencies.
See: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2679#issuecomment-37361236
My manual edit:

Additionally chokidar doesn't list the dependencies above as optional, but that will hopefully
be soon fixed: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/pull/106
In the meantime the patch from the PR above needs to be applied to
node_modules/karma/node_modules/chokidar/package.json before running `npm shrinkwrap`
----
After this change is applied, angular core developers don't need to do anything differently,
except when updating dependencies we need to call `npm update && npm shrinkwrap --dev`
followed by reappling my patch above until npm's bug.
Closes #6653
