Issue description

Current behavior: Currently not able to get values from an nb-button-group while used with Reactive Forms. Clicking on any of the buttons in the button group does not update the value in the form. Actually, nb-button-group does not even support the formControlName attribute.

Expected behavior: Similar to how the nb-radio-group works, there should be similar functionality like the nb-button-group. I should be able to use the nb-button-group in a Reactive Form and be able to detect changes when a button is pressed.

Steps to reproduce: I have supplied a Stackblitz showing the issue displayed in the Console and the difference of functionality between button groups and radio groups.

Hi @KyleInfante currently nb-button-group doesn't support reactive forms. This feature request depends on activity in this or similar request.

It would be so awesome to get it ready for Reactive Forms!

Is this still something on the timeline? I'd love to be able to use the button groups with form controls.
