Allow configuration of PrimeNG via a provider like providePrimeNgConfig()

[jreidgreer]

I'm loving v18! One thing that feels a bit unusual from how most library configurations are set in Angular is requiring configuration in a component via PrimeNGConfig.

Proposal:

I would propose a simple provider to pass in the configuration in the module:

Current:

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private primengConfig: PrimeNGConfig) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.primengConfig.theme.set({ preset: Aura });
    this.primengConfig.ripple.set(true);
  }
}

Proposed:

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideRouter(routes),
    provideHttpClient(),
    providePrimeNgConfig({
      ripple: true,
      theme: { preset: Aura },
    }),
  ],
};

This makes the code more declarative, colocates application config better, and makes it more idiomatic to Angular.
