fix(drawer): allow for drawer container to auto-resize while open

Adds the `autosize` input that allows users to opt-in to drawers that auto-resize, similarly to the behavior before angular#6189. The behavior is off by default, because it's unnecessary for most use cases and can cause performance issues.

Fixes angular#6743.
