* Currently the `0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER` is still inside of the `package.json` of the material2-builds. Similar as for every other Angular package the version placeholder should be replaced with the version of the current "build commit".
Closes#5320
* Updates the version of Sauce Connect to avoid potential flakes within the Saucelabs tunnels
* Fixes the invalid path for the `deploy-dashboard` script that runs in the deploy build stage
* build: add dashboard firebase functions
* Adds a new folder for the dashboard project that for now only contains firebase functions.
* The firebase functions will be used to securely make API calls to the Github API (e.g payload status)
* Functions will be automatically deployed as same as screenshot functions.
* Address feedback
