SDK depends on Angular even when used in pure Node.js

When installing microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk, it said @angular/common>=5 is required.

I think should either specify the peer deps in package.json, or not requiring Angular.

If the SDK can be targeted to headless environment (a.k.a. on Node.js and not browser), Angular should not be a requirement. But in fact, it is.

The scenario will be worsened as npm@7 will automatically install all missing peer dependencies. Using this SDK in a pure Node.js environment will need to install/run Angular.

@compulim Version 1.18.1 of the JS Speech SDK has been released with a fix for this issue. Thanks again for reporting it, and using Speech SDK.
