fix(typography): unable to override tag selectors inside .mat-typography

Currently we've got two sets of typography selectors: some that target tags under `.mat-typography` (e.g. `.mat-typography h1`) and others that target a specific class (e.g. `.mat-title`). The intention with the class selectors was also to allow for the styles of a tag to be replaced (e.g. having an `h3` look like an `h2` if necessary), however that wasn't possible while inside `.mat-typography`, because the tag selectors were more specific. These changes update the class selectors to make it possible to override the tag selectors.

Fixes #14597.
