Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
feature request
#### What is the expected behavior?
`MatTableDataSource` should provide a method to get currently rendered data which is filtered, sorted and paginated.
#### What is the current behavior?
At the moment I couldn't find the right way to get rendered data(It may exist but it's not documented).
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
--
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
I have found a hacky way to get currently rendered data on the table page.
The data is filtered, sorted, and paginated, so I have to get the currently visible data, for let's say row selection's page toggle(clicking it will select all filtered and sorted data on the current table page).
I'm using `this.dataSource['_renderData']['value']`, but the problem is that, `_renderData` is a `private` property of type `BehaviorSubject`. So accessing data in this way doesn't look good.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
latest
#### Is there anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start at MatTableDataSource and inspect how its filtered, sorted, and paginated rendered data is currently exposed, including the private _renderData BehaviorSubject mentioned in the report. Compare the existing public APIs and define a documented way to retrieve the current page; done means consumers no longer need private-property access.
