MatAutocomplete new component

[sandrohanea]

This new component is based on MatInputTextComponent so all properties from the text input will be on this and usable(e.g. Disabled, etc).

I thought to keep the SelectedItem from MatAutocompleteList as I saw a lot of people are using it(previously named Value). Now Value will be the text and SelectedItem the item in the list which was selected either with the mouse or with the keyboard( Arrows + Enter).

I added IAutocompleteItemsSource to offer the possibility to use this component with a backend filtering instead of filtering on the UI in the component.

Hi @Gareth064
I don't have an ETA on it but I'll try to work on it this weekend to close more issues for it( MatAutocomplete in Dialog, etc). If everything will go as I planned I can provide a PR this week or later next week but I cannot promise it.

That's great dude :) There is 1.5 bugs in MatAutoCompleteList which I was wondering if you could comment on in regards of how the behaviour is handled in this new version. They are #577 and #592

Also I had mentioned about enabling a Vertical scroll on the list via #587. What do you think about that?

I have an app that is fully MatBlazor with the exception of the Auto Complete list component because of those first 2 bug. So I am looking forward to this new one so I can update my app so everything looks great 👍

I couldn't manage to finish it but I got help from @dbereghici so it's ready for review now.

Thanks again @dbereghici !

Many thanks, @sandrohanea. I'll help with documentation and some samples once this is merged in.
