TS project cannot depend only on es6-promise

[alexeagle]

Given an angular2 project, relying on rxjs types available from node_modules/rxjs and only user-installed es6 typings (working on angular/angular#5807 )
If we ask users to eg.
$ typings install es6-collections es6-promise --ambient --save
Then we are missing PromiseConstructor:

node_modules/rxjs/CoreOperators.d.ts(77,31): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PromiseConstructor'.
node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(65,67): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PromiseConstructor'.
node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(159,31): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PromiseConstructor'.

This type is defined in typescript's distributed lib.es6.d.ts and also in es6-shim.d.ts but not in es6-promise.d.ts

Workaround for now is we require users install typings for all of es6-shim but this has the disadvantage that they may type-check usage of all es6 features, even those not polyfilled at runtime.
