If the consumer puts a trigger inside a menu and passes the menu back to the trigger, we'll go into an infinite loop and throw a cryptic error message. These changes detect such a case and throw a better error. Example of a case that will be flagged:

<mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
  <button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu"></button>
</mat-menu>

Fixes #19941.

I've addressed the feedback. I added a dev mode check around the other assertions as well.

Fixes angular#19941.
