feat(ngHref): bind ng-href to xlink:href for SVGAElement

This change makes the ngHref directive useful for SVGAElements by having it bind
to the xlink:href attribute rather than the href attribute.

fix($parse): reduce false-positives in isElement tests

There are always going to be false positives here, unfortunately. But
testing different properties will hopefully reduce the number of false
positives in a meaningful way, without harming performance too much.

fix(isElement): reduce false-positives in isElement tests

Complimentary change to match changed $parse behaviour.
fix(input): use ValidityState to determine validity

In browsers where HTML5 constraint validation is (partially) implemented, an invalid number
entered into an input[type=number] (for example) input element would be visible to the
script context as the empty string. When the required or ngRequired attributes are not used,
this results in the invalid state of the input being ignored and considered valid.

To address this, a validator which considers the state of the HTML5 ValidityState object is
used when available.

fix($location): parse query string when path is empty in hashbang mode

Before this fix, search queries in hashbang mode were ignored if the hash was not present in the
url. This patch corrects this by ensuring that the search query is available to be parsed by
urlResolve when the hashbang is not present.

chore(examples): remove final traces of examples from the tree

Apparently some example files were referenced in angularFiles.js, and this was missed when
2f4513339337bb8aa6c9dfe1191d169b4fc57999 was checked in. This cleans it up.

Closes #6405
chore(travis): reorganize protractor configs to group by spec instead of by browser

Use the multiConfiguration ability of Protractor to start tests on multiple browsers
from the same travis cell. Group tests by type (jquery, jqlite, or docs tests) instead
of by browser. Turn on tests for jQuery.
perf($cacheFactory): skip LRU bookkeeping for caches with unbound capacity

Closes #6226
chore(doc-app): ensure only canonical paths get sent to Google Analytics

Before we were simply sending the current location, but multiple URLs map
to the same document.
Now, we use the canonical path of the current document if available and
fall back to the $location path otherwise.
Includes tests!!

Closes #6402
chore(docs-app): re-activate docs-app test tasks

Currently there is only a minimal test spec in place. But this will now
be run as part of the test tasks.
chore(protractor-jenkins-config): don't use `this` inside onPrepare

Closes #6406
docs($animate): change @param to use valid types

`{jQuery/jqLite element}` is not a valid jsdoc type and breaks when being
parsed causing the documentation to look wrong.  This commit changes all
such param tags to use `DOMElement` instead, which is what is used for
similar params in `$compile` and `angular.element`.
docs(ngPluralize): corrected "bounded to" to "bound to"
