fix(material/chips): chip set overwriting disabled state (#29795)

The chip set has been set up in a way where it syncs its state to the chips, instead of the other way around which we follow in other components. This means that if its `disabled` state changes later, it can ovewrite the state that the user explicitly set on the chip.

These changes make the logic a bit more robust by writing to a different field.

Fixes #29783.
