Mat-Table : Add vertical scrolling only on mat rows and not on mat header row.

[razorhenry1]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Proposal

What is the expected behavior?

Scroll should start from mat-rows ( tbody ) and not mat-header-rows (thead) .

What is the current behavior?

Right now , adding a scroll to mat-table, adds an overflow, starting from the header row level.

What are the steps to reproduce?

https://stackblitz.com/angular/jxdglymymvg?file=app%2Ftable-filtering-example.ts
Scroll appears at thead level ( mat-header- rows )

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

The header usually remained fixed and overflow starts from tbody level.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular Version : 5.1
Angular Material Version : 5.1.1
