MdDialog cannot display AngularJS content upgraded via UpgradeModule

[MikeMatusz]

Bug:

Content upgraded via the UpgradeModule cannot be displayed in a modal.

What is the expected behavior?

Dialog displays with the upgraded component.

What is the current behavior?

What are the steps to reproduce?

Clicking "Show Upgraded Component" works, but showing the same component in a dialog via the "Show Dialog" button does not.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

We have rewritten our app in Angular, but still rely on a few AngularJS components. They work everywhere else in our app except for inside of a modal.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

Tested with both Angular 2.4.7 and 4.0 beta 5. Material 2.0 beta 2. Chrome, IE, Firefox on Windows 8.

So of course, after fighting with this for a day and a half, I figure it out a solution 30 minutes after posting an issue. It's using an undocumented config option (well, the option is listed on the docs page: https://material.angular.io/components/component/dialog, it just has no description) to pass the viewContainerRef of the component that's showing the dialog. If anyone from the material team would like to comment on whether that is the correct use of that option, or to update the documentation with more info, that would be great, but I think this issue can be closed.

Here is the updated plunk:

Thanks for the report- I've filed #3651 to track the missing docs.
