Breaking Changes

@schematics/angular: remove `stylus` from `style` options (fd729ac)

`styl` (Stylus) is no longer a supported value as `style` in `application`, `component`, `ng-new` schematics. Stylus is not actively maintained and only 0.3% of the Angular CLI users use it.

(cherry picked from commit 0272fc5)

@angular-devkit/build-angular: change several builder options defaults (656f8d7)

A number of browser and server builder options have had their default values changed. The aim of these changes is to reduce the configuration complexity and support the new "production builds by default" initiative.

Browser builder

Option	Previous default value	New default value
optimization	false	true
aot	false	true
buildOptimizer	false	true
sourceMap	true	false
extractLicenses	false	true
namedChunks	true	false
vendorChunk	true	false

Server builder

Option	Previous default value	New default value
optimization	false	true
sourceMap	true	false

(cherry picked from commit 0a74d0d)
