v4: upgrade to alpha.8 seems to broken

Describe the Bug Upgrading only @ionic/core to alpha.8 does not work as expected. We are running into this errors

ERROR in node_modules/@ionic/core/dist/types/components/gesture-controller/gesture-controller.d.ts(1,30): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@stencil/core'.

Probably there is something missing? Can you also update your starter templates with latest requirements?

@MT-- Yes we have updated the starters to use alpha.9! If you ever want to compare your app to the current base you can find the starter here: https://github.com/ionic-team/starters/tree/master/angular/base

You should be able to update the version number and import the new external css files and be good to go. If you are just using @ionic/core without angular it would be the following imports:

@import "~@ionic/core/css/normalize.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/structure.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/typography.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/colors.css";

@import "~@ionic/core/css/padding.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/float-elements.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/text-alignment.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/text-transformation.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/flex-utils.css";

and the @ionic/angular version will be the following, but we found that the css didn’t get published for this package, so we’re working to get a new release out with it published. 😓

@import "~@ionic/angular/css/normalize.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/structure.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/typography.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/colors.css";

@import "~@ionic/angular/css/padding.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/float-elements.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/text-alignment.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/text-transformation.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/flex-utils.css";

In the meantime pointing to the @ionic/core for the css (my first code block) should work.

We have released an alpha.9 version that should be working much better. We’re going to be releasing an alpha.10 with some more fixes later today. Let me know if you still see these particular errors with alpha.9 though! Thanks!
