fix(material/autocomplete): mark control as touched once panel is closed

Currently we mark the autocomplete control as touched on `blur`. The problem is that the `blur` event happens a split second before the panel is closed which can cause the error styling to show up and disappear quickly which looks glitchy. These changes change it so that the control is marked as touched once the panel is closed.

Also makes a couple of underscored properties private since they weren't used anywhere in the view.

Fixes #18313.
