feat(ngMaxlength): add support for disabling max length limit

Previously, setting the maxlength to a negative number, would make all
input values invalid (since their length should be less than maxlength,
which is impossible).
This commit changes the behaviour of maxlength/ngMaxlength, effectively
disabling the maxlength validation (always returning true) when maxlength
is set to a negative number. This is more inline to how the HTML5
`maxlength` attribute works (both in browsers and according to the spec:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-preview/attributes-common-to-form-controls.html#attr-fe-maxlength).

Related to angular#9874
Closes angular#9995
