RxJs ships generators instead of native async/await #7422

Describe the bug

Talking about v7:

Looking at files like /rxjs/dist/esm/internal/observable/innerFrom.js, it looks like rxjs is shipping code where native async/awaits are converted to generators.

I don't think that's up to the lib to do that conversion.

Soon, zoneless Angular apps should be able to build without using @babel/plugin-transform-async-to-generator (required by zone.js. So I would expect rxjs to ship native async/await and reduce its footprint.

Version

7.8.1

We won't make breaking changes to the target platform we support in v7. If we change transpilation target, consumer need to separately transpile 3rd party pkg (rxjs).
