Polymer defines its own `Element` class, shadowing the standard global `Element` class. This means that references to `Element` within the `Polymer` namespace inadvertently reference `Polymer.Element`. Here we define an alias of the global `Element`, so that we can reference it from declarations within the `Polymer` namespace. See microsoft/TypeScript#983 for general discussion of this shadowing problem in TypeScript. Fixes #5074
