Ivy support

[yuri-apanasik]

Here is minimal changes to support Angular 16 (View Engine support was removed in this version, so Ivy distribution is required).
Please, check the possibility to merge the PR and release new version on NPM.
I am open to add some more adjustments if needed.
Thank you.

@muratcorlu using your library with Angular 16 is not possible now because of missing Ivy support

Hi @yuri-apanasik! Thanks for the contribution. I'm not able to use Angular a lot for a few years, so I lost track of new features. I would like to provide an update for this library for sure. But with this PR, library will not able to work with the version prior to 16, right? Can we cover a broader range of Angular versions? #65 suggests Angular 13 or newer would be enough, if I don't understand wrong. Maybe @inorganik can comment as well?

Hi @muratcorlu, he is right; looks like this lib was last current with Angular 11 so it will need to be updated to be compatible with v16 and newer since ngcc compiler (view engine) is no longer supported. It's just a matter of updating the project, which it looks like that's all he did. Angular began using ivy by default in v13 I think.

Ivy-compiled libs should be supported as far back as v9. But that's ok - bump the major version of this package to 16 (it's easiest for developers to see compatibility) before you publish. Then you can direct devs who need to support 8 and older to use whichever version is currently published.

@muratcorlu @inorganik changed to 13+ peer dependency
In addition I've replaced tslint with eslint (first one is no longer supported), removed default e2e project (looks like it was not used anyway), used new build with my application (where we used your library and what we can't update to Angular 16 now) - it was ok.
But sure it is better to double check. Would be so good if you will find time to check if everything is ok and publish new version.
