Description
I would like to propose Firebase SDK AutoConfig as an option when initializing the app:
`AngularFireModule.initializeAppWithAutoConfig(),`
Right now, I have a workaround by adding this 2 lines in `package.json` so that the build process will pull the config from my Firebase project:
```
"build": "npm run getFirebaseConfig && ng build",
"getFirebaseConfig": "firebase apps:sdkconfig web --json > ./firebaseConfig.json",
```
Then in my `app.module.ts`:
```
import * as firebaseConfig from '../../firebaseConfig.json';
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(firebaseConfig.result.sdkConfig),
```
It works but it has an extra immediate step to generate the `firebaseConfig.json`. So, it will be great if AngularFireModule takes care of it.

Research direction
Start with the Firebase reserved-URLs SDK auto-configuration reference and the AngularFireModule.initializeApp call shown in app.module.ts. Compare it with the package.json build/getFirebaseConfig workaround and firebaseConfig.json flow; done means initialization can use Firebase SDK auto-configuration without that generated file or extra build step.
