Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
proposal
#### What is the expected behavior?
mat-radio-button should support formControlName
#### What is the current behavior?
get Error:
ERROR Error: No value accessor for form control with name: 'gender'
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-slemqj-ojrv1g
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
mat-radio-button should support formControlName withiout parrent mat-radio-group, like native html input with type radio. There is a lot use cases when you cant use mat-radio-group due to DOM restrictions

Angular: 5.0.0
Material: 5.0.3
OS: Windows
TypeScript: 2.7.0

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and trace how Angular Material's mat-radio-button participates in reactive forms. The work is done when a mat-radio-button can use formControlName without a parent mat-radio-group and the reported value-accessor error no longer occurs.
