Title: fix(input): use ValidityState to determine validity

In browsers where HTML5 constraint validation is (partially) implemented, an
invalid number entered into an input[type=number] (for example) input element
would be visible to the script context as the empty string. When the required
or ngRequired attributes are not used, this results in the invalid state of
the input being ignored and considered valid.

To address this, a validator which considers the state of the HTML5
ValidityState object is used when available.

---

It is not entirely possible to test this outside of an E2E scenario, because
browsers (or at least Chrome) do not seem to update validity in response to
artificial events.

If I can get some help writing E2E tests for this, then I'll be more confident
that this is an effective solution.

In the mean time, I'll put together another demo.
