fix(ngRequired): set error correctly when inside ngRepeat and false by default

Previously, in the required validator, we would read the required setting directly
from attr.required, where it is set by ngRequired.

However, when the control is inside ngRepeat, ngRequired sets it only after a another digest has
passed, which means the initial validation run of ngModel does not include the correct required
setting. (Before commit 0637a2124c this would not have been a problem,
as every observed value change triggered a validation).

We now use the initially parsed value from ngRequired in the validator.

Fixes #16814
Closes #16820
