cdk should warn of missing doctype

[isaacplmann]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Currently @angular/material warns if you don't add a doctype to your index.html, but the @angular/cdk does not. That warning should be moved from lib/common to the cdk.

What is the expected behavior?

Using the cdk OverlayModule warns you if you don't correctly set a doctype.

What is the current behavior?

No warning. There is only a warning if you import some module from @angular/material.

What are the steps to reproduce?

This plunker does not import any material modules, but it does import OverlayModule from @angular/cdk. There should be a warning in the console. If you import any modules from @angular/material into the AppModule, there will be a warning about a missing doctype.

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

I have a library that uses the cdk, but the overlay doesn't work correctly if there isn't a doctype specified. I want my users to be warned explicitly if they don't have that set.

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

@angular/cdk@2.0.0-beta.12, angular 4.4.6

Is there anything else we should know?

We used to have this and we removed it, because it requires a lot of boilerplate in a standalone world. It also doesn't seem to come up often.
