Add the descendants option to ContentChild

See original GitHub issue

🚀 feature request

Relevant Package

@angular/core

Description

Similar but opposite to how the ContentChildren decorator has descendants option to query all descendants, I would like ContentChild to have an option to query only direct descendants.

Describe the solution you’d like

Add descendants as a metadata property for ContentChild
If descendants is true or undefined, query all descendants (preserves current behavior)
If descendants is false, query only direct descendants

It would be nice if the bot posted a link to the poll itself. I had no idea where to vote.
