Add support for ES6 transpilation. Change dependency injection in order to match the `class` and `constructor` keywords. Update istanbul to latest version as its previous versions do not support ES6. Remove bluebird.d.ts as it conflicts with Promises from TypeScript's ES6 d.ts. Remove bluebird as dependency - we will use native Promises from now on. Add support for Node.js 4 and 5 - both versions have limited support for ES6 features, so in order to support them we have to: - pass --harmony flag to Node.js - do not use some features like default values of method arguments. - do not use spread operator - it's implementation in Node.js 4 is limited only to arrays. Even this implementation has issues. So use `.apply` instead of using spread operator. Remove all other usages of spread operator (for objects). Add tests scripts for istanbul and mocha, as they both will need the `--harmony` flag as well, so we cannot execute them directly with Node.js 4 and 5. Instead we'll execute a custom script, that will start a new node process. Introduce `test-scripts` directory with JavaScript executables to start the tests. Set them in package.json. They are required as when Node 4 or Node 5 is used, the tests will need `--harmony` flag as well. Exclude `test-scripts` directory from npm package (add it to `.npmignore`) - users do not need these files. Exclude `.vscode/launch.json` from `.gitignore` and add predefined launch configurations. They can be used for debugging CLI process and unit tests.
