chore(deps): replace angularjs xlts.dev with neverendingsupport and update to v1.9.9 (#1368)

Updated `xlts.dev` references to the new `npm` namespace
`neverendingsupport`.

Also updated all textual XLTS references (which are now deprecated) to
the new branding of HeroDevs / AngularJS Never-Ending Support.

Took the opportunity to update these dependencies to the latest version
(v1.9.9).
