fix: workaround for es2015 inheritance not always working (#13834)

Since the inherited `ctorParameters` can be either a static array or a function that returns an array, the workaround that landed with e9103a6 does not fully solve the issue, which developers experience when using Angular Material with ES2015. This improves the workaround and ensures that it handles both scenarios properly.

Also the workaround has been moved into a separate function in order to remove code duplication. This should also make it easier to delete the workaround if we need to.

 ### Bug Fixes
 
-* **build:** material not working with ES2015 ([#13709](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13709)) ([e9103a6](https://github.com/angular/material2/commit/e9103a6)), closes [#12760](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/12760) [#13695](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13695)
 * **button-toggle:** webkit tap highlight conflicting with ripples ([#13721](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13721)) ([abd0278](https://github.com/angular/material2/commit/abd0278))
 * **cdk-platform:** pass `{}` to `@NgModule` since passing nothing breaks ([#13792](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13792)) ([5abb644](https://github.com/angular/material2/commit/5abb644))
 * **checkbox:** disabled property not being coerced ([#13755](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13755)) ([cee8c65](https://github.com/angular/material2/commit/cee8c65)), closes [#13739](https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/13739)
