docs(core): ionChange will not emit from programmatically changing value (#29407)

Issue number: resolves
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-docs/issues/3588

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

The documentation around `ionChange` not being emitted when
programmatically changing the property associated to the "value" is
either inconsistent or missing from certain components.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- Adds the documentation to the missing components.
- Makes the documentation consistent across components.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.
See
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#footer
for more information.
