fix(language-service): Prioritize Angular-specific completions over D…

…OM completions (#45293)

When authoring Angular templates, developers are likely to be most interested in
the current Directive/Component inputs and outputs, then potential
attributes which would match other directives to the element,
and lastly the plethora of DOM events and attributes.

This change ensures that Angular-specific information appears above DOM
information by prepending the first printable ASCII characters to the
sort text.

Fixes angular/vscode-ng-language-service#1537

PR Close #45293
