fix(menu): unable to open same sub-menu from different triggers and not picking up indirect descendant items

* Reworks the relationship between the menu items and the menu panel to allow for the items to be indirect descendants of the menu, while also allowing for `mat-menu` instances to be declared inside of other `mat-menu` instances without having the root `mat-menu` pick up all of the descendant items.
* Adds the ability to pass in an array to the `ListKeyManager`, in addition to a `QueryList`.
* Fixes not being able to re-use the same sub-menu between multiple sub-menu triggers.

Fixes #9969.
Fixes #9987.
