`RenderSemanticsGestureHandler` is no longer a semantics boundary, which allows us to correctly mark disabled buttons as disabled without having their semantics size and semantics node id change unexpectedly.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/12589.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/11991.

This change also required some refactoring to how we deal with `twoPaneSemantics` scrolling as it previously relied on `RenderSemanticsGestureHandler` being a semantics boundary. This should also make the underlying logic easier to understand.

In addition, the following minor changes are included in this PR:
* Removal of orphaned and unused `SemanticsConfiguration.isMergingDescendantsIntoOneNode`.
* Logic optimizations for `markNeedsSemanticsUpdate` .
* Fix for edge case where `MergeSemantics` failed to merge semantics.
* Use of emojis to better indicate leaf merging in the printed semantics tree.
* Better assert message for adding invisible child semantics nodes.
* Make some semantics tests robuster by not relying on creation order of SemanticsNode ids across test boundaries.

Unlike FractionalOffset, Alignment uses the center as the zero of the
coordinate system, which makes the RTL math work out much cleaner.

Also, make FractionalOffset into a subclass of Alignment so that clients
can continue to use FractionalOffset.

This patch includes:

 * SliverPadding
 * ScrollView
 * PageView

Fixes #11764
Fixes #11836

* Introduce a Directionality inherited widget which sets the ambient LTR vs RTL mode (defaulting to null, which means you cannot use directionality-influenced values).

* Make it possible to configure Padding (including Container.padding and Container.margin) using a directionality-agnostic EdgeInsets variant.

* Provide textDirection and verticalDirection controls on Row and Column to make them RTL-aware.

* Introduce a variant of FractionalOffset based on the EdgeInsets variant. Not yet actually used.

* Fix all the tests that depended on Row defaulting to LTR.

`stiffness` is the name of a spring's `k` input on [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/quartzcore/caspringanimation), [Android](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/preview/spring-animation.html), and the [Web](https://github.com/skevy/wobble/blob/bbc0f831e234f2d24fb905f2ec278c134d69ed68/src/index.js#L11-L22).  To ensure the API is familiar to and easily understood by developers coming from other platforms, Flutter should follow this convention as well.

This is a minimally-breaking change.  Across [all of GitHub](https://github.com/search?l=Dart&q=springConstant&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93), there are only 2 uses of the `springConstant` API (in Mondrian).  Those can be easily changed to use this name.

Rename State.config to State.widget
Rename State.didUpdateConfig to State.didUpdateWidget
Renamed all State subclasses' local variables named config to something else

Aggressively apply the const lint.

This ensures that both timer/microtask queues are cleared out rather
than assuming that all work is completed in a specified amount of time.

Previously we called onPageChanged when the scroll ended, but that is too late.
Now we call onPageChanged when we cross the halfway mark, which, for example,
makes the tab indicator update earlier.

Fixes #8265

Tabs are now fully driven by slivers.

Our previous behavior of hard-coding the unselected label color to 70% of the
selected color was too restrictive.

Fixes #7738
