Make MdlTextFieldComponent::setFocus() public

[grizzm0]

I've got an input that always needs to keep focus.

I'm switching over to angular2-mdl from angular2-material as it's lacking a lot of features. I had something similar working in angular2-material already and tried the following when switching to angular2-mdl. But setFocus() is protected which breaks the whole thing.

<mdl-textfield #input [autofocus]="true" (blur)="focus()" ...></mdl-textfield>

export class InputScanner implements OnInit {
  @ViewChild('input') input:MdlTextFieldComponent;

  protected focus():void {
    this.input.setFocus();
  }
}

Edit:
Don't forget to create an if-statement to make sure this.inputEl is set. ;)

@mseemann As my edit stated you might want to make sure this.inputEl is actually set. Ran into an error there myself while playing around.
