Description

### Is this a regression?

- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

### The previous version in which this bug was not present was

_No response_

### Description

Other than with vanilla radio buttons with angular material radio groups the form is not used as a scope. Radios groups with the same name interfere with each other even if in different forms. This makes it very hard to use them in template driven forms when wanting to pull the data from the NgForm value.

### Reproduction

StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vaq4dq?file=src%2Fexample%2Fradio-overview-example.html
Steps to reproduce:
1.
2.

### Expected Behavior

The form element is used as a scope for radio-groups

### Actual Behavior

Radio groups from all forms are connected by name

### Environment

OS: linux x64

Angular: 16.1.1
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router

Research direction

Start with the StackBlitz reproduction at src/example/radio-overview-example.html and confirm that same-named radio groups interfere across separate forms. Trace the Angular Material radio-group behavior responsible for grouping, then add coverage showing form-scoped groups remain independent and verify the reproduction no longer occurs.
