As with regular Angular components, Angular elements are expected to
have their views update when inputs change.
Previously, Angular Elements views were not updated if the underlying
component used the `OnPush` change detection strategy.
This commit fixes this by calling `markForCheck()` on the component
view's `ChangeDetectorRef`.
NOTE:
This is similar to how `@angular/upgrade` does it:
3236ae0ee1/packages/upgrade/src/common/src/downgrade_component_adapter.ts (L146).

`ComponentNgElementStrategy` is supposed to call `ngOnChanges()` on the
underlying component instance if available, but not fail if the
component does not have an `ngOnChanges()` method. This works as
expected. However, the test used to verify that was invalid; i.e. the
test would pass even if `ComponentNgElementStrategy` would try to call
`ngOnChanges()` on a component without such a method.
This commit replaces the invalid test with a new one that correctly
verifies that `ComponentNgElementStrategy` does not try to call
`ngOnChanges()`.

Previously, the `componentRef` property of `FakeComponentFactory` used
in `elements` tests was initialy set to a spy object with all mock
properties defined as spied methods. Later, the properties where
overwritten to the actual mock values.
This commit simplifies the creation of `componentRef` by correctly using
the arguments of [jasmine.createSpyObj()][1] to specify the desired
shape of the spy object (separating spied properties from methods and
directly providing the mock values).

Default change detection fails in some cases for @angular/elements where
component events are called from the wrong zone.
This fixes the issue by running all ComponentNgElementStrategy methods
in the same zone it was created in.

Previously, event listeners for component output events attached on an
Angular custom element before inserting it into the DOM (i.e. before
instantiating the underlying component) didn't fire for events emitted
during initialization lifecycle hooks, such as `ngAfterContentInit`,
`ngAfterViewInit`, `ngOnChanges` (initial call) and `ngOnInit`.
The reason was that `NgElementImpl` [subscribed to events][1] _after_
calling [ngElementStrategy#connect()][2], which is where the
[initial change detection][3] takes place (running the initialization
lifecycle hooks).
This commit fixes this by:
1. Ensuring `ComponentNgElementStrategy#events` is defined and available
for subscribing to, even before instantiating the component.
2. Changing `NgElementImpl` to subscribe to `NgElementStrategy#events`
(if available) before calling `NgElementStrategy#connect()` (which
initializes the component instance) if available.
3. Falling back to the old behavior (subscribing to `events` after
calling `connect()` for strategies that do not initialize `events`
before their `connect()` is run).
NOTE:
By falling back to the old behavior when `NgElementStrategy#events` is
not initialized before calling `NgElementStrategy#connect()`, we avoid
breaking existing custom `NgElementStrategy` implementations (with
@remackgeek's [ElementZoneStrategy][4] being a commonly used example).

Previously, when an input property was initially set to `undefined` it
would not be correctly recognized as a change (and trigger
`ngOnChanges()`).
This commit ensures that explicitly setting an input to `undefined` is
correctly handled the same as setting the property to any other value.
This aligns the behavior of Angular custom elements with that of the
corresponding components when used directly (not as custom elements).

Previously, when an input property was set on an `NgElement` before
instantiating the underlying component, the `SimpleChange` object passed
to `ngOnChanges()` would have `firstChange` set to false, even if this
was the first change (as far as the component instance was concerned).
This commit fixes this by ensuring `SimpleChange#firstChange` is set to
true on first change, regardless if the property was set before or after
instantiating the component. This alignthe behavior of Angular custom
elements with that of the corresponding components when used directly
(not as custom elements).
