Tour of heroes tutorial: incompatible version of angular-in-memory-web-api being installed

[jasonreed7]

I was following the Tour of Heroes Tutorial and in the HTTP section (part 8) I followed the instructions to install angular-in-memory-web-api with npm install angular-in-memory-web-api --save. This installed version 0.6.0 for me and it appears to be incompatible with angular 5 and rxjs 5. This caused the tutorial application to stop working. It took a while to track down the problem and fix by going down to version 0.5.4 of angular-in-memory-web-api. If other people are experiencing this it may make the HTTP section of the tutorial confusing.

This is already fixed in master (https://next.angular.io). We need to backport the fix.

I don't think that backporting the fix is trivial (but I might be wrong).
Alternatively, we could just be explicit about installing angular-in-memory-web-api@0.5 for the Angular v5.x docs (current stable), as discussed here.
