[FR] Implement SSR via Angular Universal

[benwinding]

What makes nextjs great is the ability to render all pages of the react app as separate html pages which can be loaded fast and indexed by search engines.

Initially I thought that SSR with Angular Universal was complex and hard to implement, but a few blog posts show that it could be quite easy

Initial Plan

• Only SSR with ngext build --ssr or possibly on by default
• Additional build steps:
  1. Generate a small express server
  2. Crawl through every route in the app and SSR render the page on the express server.
  3. Copy output to dist directory
