The internal clarity NgControlService should be exposed.

[TodorBonchev]

Describe the bug

We have a component with a clarity selector component and a clarity modal dialog. In the clarity modal dialog we show a clarity datagrid. When the modal is opened the NgControlService sets the control to some elements in the clarity datagrid and after the modal is closed the control is not returned to the clarity selector and the validations couldn't be triggered. In order to workaround this problem I have to write this code:

        const controlStateService: IfControlStateService = this.comboboxComponent['controlStateService'];
        if (!controlStateService) {
            console.error('controlStateService of clarity combobox is undefined.');
        } else {
            const ngControlService = controlStateService['ngControlService'];
            if (!ngControlService) {
                console.error('ngControlService of IfControlStateService is undefined');
            } else {
                ngControlService.setControl(this.controlBase);
            }
        }

to access the NgControlService and set the control to the selector component manually.

The clarity components should either expose the NgControlService as a public service or automatically detect which is the active control and make the validation working in all cases.
