Description

### Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

virtual-scroll

### Is this a regression?

No

### Description

1. With a default `cdkVirtualForTemplateCacheSize` set to `20` virtuall-scroll keeps `leave` class on a template and uses this template for next row generation; in that case, new rows turn out to be `hidden`.
2. With a `cdkVirtualForTemplateCacheSize` set to `0` to disable cache virtuall-scroll do not remove rows while slow/normal scroll speed, and only removes on a high speed scrolling.

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction in src/main.ts and reproduce both cdkVirtualForTemplateCacheSize settings while scrolling. Trace the virtual-scroll entry point and animation behavior; done means cached rows no longer retain the leave class or become hidden, and uncached rows are removed during slow and normal scrolling as well as fast scrolling.
