fix(typings): don't expose PromiseConstructor dependency

[alexeagle]

Fixes #1270

(Note: in angular we have a "test.typings" task, which takes the dist folder and ensures the user can type-check against it given pre-requisite dependencies. That would prevent this problem from returning)

Interesting PR, thanks for this. So does PromiseCtor is equivalent to typeof Promise?

[alexeagle]

Yes, simply, because in lib.es6.d.ts

declare var Promise: PromiseConstructor;

It's a tricky distinction.
PromiseConstructor forces a particular constructor signature, static members, etc.
typeof Promise just means a factory of Promise instances.

Thanks @alexeagle , merged with f59225b. I've amended commit message from Fixed # to closes # to met with current convention we're using for automate changelogs, wish you don't mind :) Thanks again!

@Blesh we need to hold the next angular2 release until this is released in rxjs (so that our quickstart guide doesn't need a temporary "install es6-shim.d.ts" step)
Any idea when the next release will land? thx!
