Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
The `mat-error` directive doesn't display on submit when fields are added in a FormArray. The error is shown when you touch the field. Also when I change the mat-error to a regular div, the div is just being shown.
#### What is the expected behavior?
Show `mat-error` on submit when field is untouched.
#### What is the current behavior?
Does not show `mat-error` on submit when field is untouched.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
Repro: https://angular-material2-issue-ttt1jk.stackblitz.io/
- Add some fields with Angular Validators in a FormArray (this counts for every field, mat-select, matInput, etc.)
I have HTML like this:
- mat-form-field
-- mat-select
-- mat-error
Or:
- mat-form-field
-- input matInput
-- mat-error
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
Validation needs to be shown on submit so the user knows the field has errors.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
- Angular v5.1.0
- Material v5.0.1
- TypeScript v2.4.2
- Every browser
#### Is there anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and compare mat-error behavior for matInput and mat-select controls added to a FormArray. Verify the untouched controls after submit and after being touched. Done means validation errors appear on submit for every invalid field without requiring the field to be touched.
