rxjs 6.0.0 breaks strictMetadataEmit as they now publish a .d.ts file with a
structure like:
declare export class Subscription {
static EMPTY: Subscription;
}
This generates metadata which contains an error, and fails the strictMetadataEmit
validation. There is nothing a library author can do in this situation except to
set strictMetadataEmit to false.
The spirit of strictMetadataEmit is to validate that the author's library doesn't
do anything that will break downstream users. This failure is a corner case which
causes more harm than good, so this commit disables validation for metadata
collected from .d.ts files.
