A required mat-input field does not show error when the parent form is submitted.

#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:

For the purpose of code re-use and to maintain consistent functionality across my web app, I created an input component in my app whose role is to embed a mat-input in a parent form.

When the mat-input is a required field, the component displays it correctly in the parent form and an error is displayed when a user interacts with the field but does not enter anything. However, no error is displayed when the parent form is submitted without any user interaction with the embedded field.

Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

#### What is the expected behavior?

An error should be displayed when the parent form is submitted.

#### What is the current behavior?

An error is not displayed when the parent form is submitted.

#### What are the steps to reproduce?

See: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material2-issue-jph57r

#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

I am using Chrome. Output of ng --version is given below:

```
#### Is there anything else we should know?

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and inspect how the embedded mat-input is connected to the parent form and submitted without interaction. Reproduce the missing validation error, then confirm that the required-field error appears when the parent form is submitted.
