refactor(angular): simplify lazy table initialization

[benjavicente]

🎯 Changes

This can be considered a continuation of #6534.

I saw 2 simplification opportunities in that PR:

• previousOptions isn't needed because the signal will be considered the same with Object.is
• The effect to initialize the lazy object isn't needed. The tableOptionsUpdate effect will initialize the object so the inner effect is redundant. The timing of when it is initialized is the same since those 2 effects were run together. The object will always be initialized after effect runs. Considering all of that, returning an object holding the initialized state and the raw value isn't needed. Calling untracked(object) every time could be slower but it isn't in a hot path.
• [Added due to coderabbit comment]: Removed apply trap for the proxy since that will never be reached, and shouldn't be necessary for the input signal workaround.

✅ Checklist

• I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
• I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.

🚀 Release Impact

• This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
• This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Simplified lazy initialization for Angular table instances.
  • Table instances are available immediately through lazy proxies, with initialization deferred until needed.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved reactive updates when table options or data change.
  • Ensured table reactivity is cleaned up when components are destroyed.
• Tests
  • Expanded coverage for deferred initialization, proxy behavior, row updates, and required inputs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

lazyInit now returns a direct proxy backed by an Angular computed signal. injectTable uses the proxy for options updates and destruction. Tests verify deferred initialization, proxy behavior, and rendered row updates.

Changes

Lazy table initialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Direct lazy proxy implementation packages/angular-table/src/lazySignalInitializer.ts, packages/angular-table/tests/lazy-init.test.ts	lazyInit returns a proxy directly. Initialization occurs on proxied access through a computed signal. Tests cover deferred and single initialization.
Injected table integration and validation packages/angular-table/src/injectTable.ts, packages/angular-table/tests/injectTable.test.ts, .changeset/lazy-tables-initialize.md	injectTable returns and updates the lazy proxy directly, unmounts reactivity during destruction, and validates proxy behavior and row updates. A patch changeset documents the API behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d20f6

The refactor still allows function values while creating a non-callable proxy target, so lazy function values throw when invoked. This bounded API correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly constrained before merge.
