Subject: [PATCH] docs: standalone component preloading config

The preloading modules documentation were missing information about how to apply preloading strategies to standalone application  ( `ng new AppName --standalone` ).
Feel free to fix anything not in line with the Angular documentation style guide, as this is my first attempt at contributing :)

- Added example for `app.config.ts` providing info on the `withPreloading(<preloading strategy>)` you can add to the `provideRouter()` RouterFeatures.
- Specified that preloading modules also applies for standalone components.
