Description
#### Please describe the feature you would like to request.
I would like to see the mat-step-header made scrollable in a similar fashion to mat-tab. IOf you have multiple steps on a smaller resolution or inside a container with a specific width the steps simply overflow over the edge and would be better if you have a left/right scroll button on either side of the header like the mat-tab
#### What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?
I have several apps that use the material stepper (specifically the horizontal stepper) where there are many steps in the flow, the stepper is usually displayed inside a mat-card with a specific width (responsive to difference screen sizes)
On smaller screen sizes where there are more steps than permitted on the screen the step headers simply overflow off the screen
#### Is there anything else we should know?
This is a screen shot of one example on a large mobile (width: 425px)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the horizontal mat-step-header behavior with the scrollable mat-tab header, focusing on how each handles many items in a narrow container. Confirm the expected behavior for the mobile screenshot and define done as preventing step headers from overflowing while providing usable left and right scrolling controls.
