Update for use with Firestore (#5793)

Google seems to be deprecated the legacy realtime database and moving towards default use of Firestore, although it's still officially in beta. This PR migrates towards Firestore and the recommended loading methods for the Firebase 5.6.0 libraries. Note: the Firebase and Firebase-Admin dependencies should be updated to 5.6.0 and 6.3.0 respectively.
