Description
### Feature Description
Currently if there is a dialog which is meant to be used with a specific width, height, autoFocus, disableClose, etc... each and every code that opens that dialog need to specify those values. Even if extracted to a const you still need to remember to pass it.
What I wish to have is the ability to specify on the dialog component itself those configuration options or at least some of them that make sense. Allowing to actually "declare" to the one using - If you pass nothing in the `open` function config - this is the recommended and default config for this specific dialog. If you do pass a config object it overrides the recommended one.
### Use Case
When having a dialog that needs for example to have `autoFocus` as false always as it handles it inside - everyone using that dialog has to remember to declare this specific config when opening otherwise the dialog won't work as expected. Even if it was extracted to a const - the one opening the dialog still needs to know that const exists and remember to pass it.
The suggestion allows the dialog creator to specify the default config.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the MatDialog and MatDialogConfig APIs and the existing issue discussion. Define how a dialog component would declare default configuration and how values supplied to open would override it; done means the requested default-config behavior is specified and covered by appropriate tests.
