Virtual Scrolling stalls when scrolling via keyboard with large set of complex data

#### Bug, feature request, or proposal: Bug

#### What is the expected behavior?
When scrolling down the list by holding down the up or down arrow key, the list should scroll smoothly all the way down to the end

#### What is the current behavior?
When scrolling down the list by holding down the up or down arrow key, at random times and seemingly random circumstances, the scrolling behavior stalls. I believe the focus is being lost on the list for whatever reason as, if you click on the list and press the arrow key, scrolling resumes as normal.

#### What are the steps to reproduce?
StackBlitz [here](https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material-yhc71v). Click on the list and press and hold the down arrow key. It may take a couple attempts, but eventually it should stall.

#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
Reproduced in Chrome 71.0.3578.98 and IE 11. Could not reproduce in Firefox 64.0.

リンクされた StackBlitz の再現から始め、下矢印を押し続けると Chrome または IE では最終的に停止する一方、Firefox では影響を受けないことを確認します。その再現をもとに、仮想スクロールリストのキーボード操作とフォーカス動作を追跡します。大規模で複雑なデータのリストが矢印キーで末尾まで連続的にスクロールし、回帰が適切なテストでカバーされれば完了です。
