feat(core): allow to throw on unknown elements in tests (#45479)

Allows to provide a TestBed option to throw on unknown elements in templates:

```ts
getTestBed().initTestEnvironment(
  BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
  platformBrowserDynamicTesting(), {
    errorOnUnknownElements: true
  }
);
```

The default value of `errorOnUnknownElements` is `false`, so this is not a breaking change.
