fix(chips): focus not restored properly if chip has been removed by c…

…lick

* Currently if someone tries to remove a chip by clicking the `[matChipRemove]`, the click event will bubble up to the potential `MatFormField` and cause the `onContainerClick` to be invoked. This causes the focus to be always moved to the first chip (which is not good for accessibility).

* Replaces multiple subscriptions in the chip list with a `takeUntil`. Also fixes that the chip remove subscription is re-created multiple times but not cleaned up.

* Simplifies and cleans up the logic to restore focus after a chip has been destroyed.

PR is based on: #12416
