Issue description

Current behavior: For project with firebase v8 @nebular/firebase-auth is not working, with the following error:

ERROR in <…>/node_modules/@nebular/firebase-auth/ivy_ngcc/fesm2015/index.js 323:29-33 "export ‘auth’ was not found in ‘firebase/app’

Expected behavior:

According to https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/js

Breaking change: browser fields in package.json files now point to ESM bundles instead of CJS bundles. Users who are using ESM imports must now use the default import instead of a namespace import.

Before 8.0.0 import * as firebase from ‘firebase/app’

After 8.0.0 import firebase from ‘firebase/app’

I get this as well:

ERROR in node_modules/@nebular/firebase-auth/strategies/base/firebase-base.strategy.d.ts:4:34 - error TS2694: Namespace ‘“/Users/MRR/Developer/ngx-admin/node_modules/firebase/index”’ has no exported member ‘auth’.

4 import UserCredential = firebase.auth.UserCredential; ~~~~ node_modules/@nebular/firebase-auth/strategies/password/firebase-password.strategy.d.ts:1:10 - error TS2614: Module ‘“…/…/…/…/firebase”’ has no exported member ‘User’. Did you mean to use ‘import User from “…/…/…/…/firebase”’ instead?

1 import { User } from ‘firebase’; ~~~~
