BREAKING CHANGES

• dialog: * The matDialogAnimations.slideDialog symbol has been renamed to matDialogAnimations.dialogContainer.

• elevation: Because mat-elevation usages have been moved out of component stylesheets, users who have
  not invoked a theme mixin will not see any elevation shadows on Material components.
  However, users that have created a custom theme which lacks the elevation property will
  still see the default black shadows.

Additionally, users who want to use themed elevations in their custom components can create
their own shorthand mixin:

@import '~angular/material/theming';

$myTheme: ...

@mixin my-elevation($zValue) {
  @include mat-theme-elevation($zValue, $myTheme);
}

and then invoke angular-material-theme with the $myTheme variable.
