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).
