fix(ngOptions): override select option registration

When ngOptions is present on a select, the option directive should not be able to
register options on the selectCtrl since this may cause errors during the
ngOptions lifecycle.

This can happen in the following cases:

- there is a blank option below the select element, an ngModel
directive, an ngOptions directive and some other directive on the select
element, which compiles the children of the select
(i.e. the option elements) before ngOptions is has finished linking.

- there is a blank option below the select element, an ngModel
directive, an ngOptions directive and another directive, which uses
templateUrl and replace:true.

What happens is:
- the option directive is compiled and adds an element `$destroy` listener
that will call `ngModel.$render` when the option element is removed.
- when `ngOptions` processes the option, it removes the element, and
triggers the `$destroy` listener on the option.
- the registered `$destroy` listener calls `$render` on `ngModel`.
- $render calls `selectCtrl.writeValue()`, which accesses the `options`
object in the `ngOptions` directive.
- Since `ngOptions` has not yet completed linking the `options` has not
yet been defined and we get an error.

This fix moves the registration code for the `option` directive into the
`SelectController.registerOption()` method, which is then overridden by
the `ngOptions` directive as a `noop`.
