feat(MatPaginator): Allow custom content in paginator

[wobkenh]

Hey there,

Feature Description

Add a ng-content tag in the left part of the paginator for custom content. Users could then add additional information like this:

<mat-paginator [length]="100" [pageSize]="10" [pageSizeOptions]="[5, 10, 25, 100]">
  <div>Stuff displayed on the left side!</div>
</mat-paginator>

Use Case

The paginator, depending on the use case, can get quite wide. All controls are aligned to the right side. On the left side, there is a lot of space, which might be used for other information. E.g, imagine a table that lets the user select rows. In the bottom left, one could show the number of selected items - something like this:

I think that this a valid feature request, but one thing to keep in mind is that how the content would wrap on a smaller screen.

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
