refactor(multiple): replace fromEvent usages (#30201)

Replaces all of our usages of the rxjs `fromEvent` with direct event listeners going through the renderer. This has a few benefits:
* In most cases it made our simpler and easier to follow.
* By going through the renderer, other tooling can hook into it (e.g. the tracing service).
* It reduces our reliance on rxjs.

I also ended up cleaning up the fragile testing setup in `cdk/menu` which would've broken any time we introduce a new `inject` call.
