fix(ngOptions): select disabled option when set from model

When a disabled option is set as the ngModel, ngOptions will now select the option
in the select element, which will set select.val() to the option hash value and visually
show the option value / label as selected in the select box. Previously, disabled
options forced the unknown value.
The previous behavior is inconsistent with both default HTML behavior and select with
ngModel but without ngOptions. Both allow disabled values to be selected programmatically.

Common use cases for this behavior include options that where previously valid, but have
been disabled, and cannot be selected again.

Fixes angular#12756
