docs(router): Deprecate public members of Router that are meant to be…

… configured elsewhere (#48006)

None of the public properties of the `Router` are meant to be writeable.
They should all be configured using other methods, all of which have been
documented.

DEPRECATED: router writable properties

The following strategies are meant to be configured by registering the
application strategy in DI via the `providers` in the root `NgModule` or
`bootstrapApplication`:
* `routeReuseStrategy`
* `titleStrategy`
* `urlHandlingStrategy`

The following options are meant to be configured using the options
available in `RouterModule.forRoot` or `provideRouter`.
* `onSameUrlNavigation`
* `paramsInheritanceStrategy`
* `urlUpdateStrategy`
* `canceledNavigationResolution`

The following options are available in `RouterModule.forRoot` but not
available in `provideRouter`:
* `malformedUriErrorHandler` - This was found to not be used anywhere
  internally.
* `errorHandler` - Developers can instead subscribe to `Router.events`
  and filter for `NavigationError`.
