ng new creates massive node_modules folder

[RedFour]

Currently using angular-cli@webpack version. When I create a new project it creates this massive node_modules folder with hundreds of things I don't need. This is even more problematic when I delete the node_modules folder and do a npm install, I get errors ng build on dependencies I didn't know I had.

Part of that is the deduping behaviour of npm3. The other part of that is that our install is currently very big. Second bit is being tracked in #1263
