[Angular] Update FormArray with patchValue

Currently, patchValue doesn't support update FormArray. 

The workarround is you need to empty the form array first, then add items back.

import {ChangeDetectionStrategy, Component, EventEmitter, Input, OnChanges, Output, SimpleChanges} from '@angular/core';
import {FormBuilder, FormArray, FormGroup, FormControl, Validators} from '@angular/forms';
import {Meal} from '../../../shared/services/meals/meals.service';

  selector: 'meal-form',
