Allow use of virtual scroll with table

[joedjc]

The current method for creating a table (e.g. with 'dataSource' and 'matRowDef') doesn't seem compatible with virtual scrolling (e.g. using 'cdkVirtualFor').

Will it be possible to integrate virtual scrolling in an angular table for the table rows?

What is the expected behavior?

Virtual scroll should be compatible with the Angular Material method of creating tables

What is the current behavior?

Difficult to see how to incorporate virtual scroll in an Angular Material table as it doesn't use a *ngFor method

What are the steps to reproduce?=
What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Allow Angular Material tables to benefit from virtual scrolling

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
Angular CLI: 6.2.2
Node: 8.12.0
OS: win32 x64
@angular/material 7.0.0-beta.1

Is there anything else we should know?

Following this as well.
I think Virtual Scrolling should actually be enabled by default on the table component...

I guess this is related: #10122
