Typescript errors on fresh install

See original GitHub issue

Intended outcome:

Installing should not produce any errors in typescript.

Actual outcome:

Typescript produced the following errors, immediately after installing apollo-client:

You have two options:

a) add dom to tsconfig.json > compilerOptions.lib b) install typings that contains fetch, Response and RequestInit

First option is recommended 👍

@helfer Just so you know about it, this could be a popular topic in github issues 😃
