fix(autocomplete): fix autocomplete with objects containing value pro…

[bschnabel]

fix issue primefaces/primeng#17469 "Autocomplete doesn't work as expected when working with Objects if the Object contains key named value"

Description

When suggestions contanis a list of objects and the objects contained a property named value. i.e. [{display:'one', value: 1}, {display: 'two', value: 2}], selecting the first value would result in the ngmodel containing only 1, instead of {display:'one', value: 1}. Changing value to let's say code puts the object into the ngModel after selecting an option.

This behaviour is fixed by this PR.

NOTE: If you WANT to only have the value in the ngModel this still works by providing the attribute optionValue="value" in the html template to the p-autocomplete element.

Breaking only in case of extreme edge case. Not sure weather to put breaking change or none breaking change. this behaviour used to be working in older versions of primeng.

Breaking changes

if you actually only want the value property inside the ngmodel provide optionValue="value" like you would have to do for any other object-property other than value.

None

Test plan

manual testing plus pnpm run test:unit
