feat(core): add ability to reflect DOM properties as attributes

By binding the token `DOM_REFLECT_PROPERTIES_AS_ATTRIBUTES` provided by 
the dom_renderer module to `true` in the root injector (i.e. bootstrap()), 
all elements whose properties are set by angular will be reflected as 
attributes with the prefix "ng-reflect-".

Fixes angular#2910
