feat: remove uses of rxjs patch operators (#5314)

Refactors the entire codebase not to use the patch operators from RxJS, because they pollute the user's setup. Instead, opts into importing the operators directly and chaining them via the `RxChain` class.

Fixes #2622.

+#### RxJS
+When dealing with RxJS operators, import the operator functions directly (e.g.
+`import "rxjs/operator/map"`), as opposed to using the "patch" imports which pollute the user's
+global Observable object (e.g. `import "rxjs/add/operator/map"`):
+
+```ts
+// NO
+import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
+someObservable.map(...).subscribe(...);
+
+// YES
+import {map} from 'rxjs/operator/map';
+map.call(someObservable, ...).subscribe(...);
+```
+
+Note that this approach can be inflexible when dealing with long chains of operators. You can use
+the `RxChain` class to help with it:
+
+```ts
+// Before
+someObservable.filter(...).map(...).do(...);
+
+// After
+RxChain.from(someObservable).call(filter, ...).call(map, ...).call(do, ...).subscribe(...);
+```
+Note that not all operators are available via the `RxChain`. If the operator that you need isn't
+declared, you can add it to `/core/rxjs/rx-operators.ts`.
+
 #### Access modifiers
 * Omit the `public` keyword as it is the default behavior.
 * Use `private` when appropriate and possible, prefixing the name with an underscore.
