fix(autocomplete): not implementing setDisabledState from ControlValueAccessor (#8746)

Fixes plain inputs (without a `matInput`) that has a `formControl` and an autocomplete attached not being disabled via `FormControl.disable`. The issue was due to the `MatAutocompleteTrigger` not implementing the `setDisableState`. The current implementation is in line with the approach in the `DefaultValueAccessor`.

Fixes #8735.
