**This PR contains a breaking API change:**
`SemanticsConfiguration.addAction()` has been removed and replaces by action-specific setters (`onTap`, `onLongPress`, etc.) to take care of the fact that some action handlers (those, who take arguments) have different signatures.

Make material slider respect textScaleFactor

Fixes #5938

Fixes #11358

* Properly update semantics when Material/Cupertino Slider are disabled

* whitespace fix

* fix style

Add Diagnosticable base class and documentation

Refactor RenderObject.toStringDeep and Widget.toStringDeep code to use DiagnosticsNode.

* adds inactiveColor and showThumb to Slider

* add customizable color and showThumb tests

* remove showThumb, add negative tests

Minor fixes throughout, e.g. removing trailing commas from the end of sample code expressions, changing headings to "sample code" more consistently, removing stale todos, fix typos in a private method name, minor grammar fixes, added some clarifications to CircularProgressIndicator, LinearProgressIndicator, CrossAxisAlignment, added some cross-references to various members, made it slightly clearer that layout algorithms are implementation details.

Clarified "elevation" throughout.

Added docs to InkResponse and InkWell.

Added sample code for: SliverAppBar, Card, ListTile, EdgeInsets, Row, Column, CustomScrollView, ListView, SliverFixedExtentList, and SliverGrid.

Previously it was (arbitrarily?) set to 144.0 pixels wide.

Instead just disable the slider.

I've been using these locally, but they're likely to be useful to other people
as well.

Previously, the Slider used a drag gesture recognizer to move the head
of the slider, but when the slider was in a vertical scroller, the
recognizer would wait until the user moved the pointer by enough pixels
to disambiguate between sliding the slider and scrolling the scroller.

That worked fine for actual drags, but the slider should also move when
the user taps the track. This patch introduces a tap recognizer to
handle that behavior.

To avoid the slider's drag and tap recognizers from competing with each
other in the arena, this patch introduces the notion of a
GestureArenaTeam, which lets several recognizers combine to form one
entry in the arena.  If that entry wins, the team picks the first of its
recognizers as the winner, avoiding latency.

Fixes #7454

This patch changes the default appearance of Slider to not have the
thumb be an open circle at its minimum position. The `thumbOpenAtMin`
property can enable drawing an open thumb at the min position, which was
the previous behavior.

Fixes #6941

This widget matches the style of the iOS slider widget. We don't yet
have the proper visual design for the disabled state.

These define a TextTheme and IconTheme that contrast with the accent
colour brightness. Also adjust default accentColorBrightness to match
Material spec examples (dark text/icons on teal in Dark theme).

Update material components to use accentTextTheme, accentIconTheme:
* DatePicker selection
* Floating action button icon
* TimePicker selection
* Slider label text

Add some docs to explain how to use setState() wiht Checkbox, Radio,
Slider, and Switch.

This change might make our grammar less perfect, but it will increase our
sanity.

This requires all AnimationController objects to be given a
TickerProvider, a class that can create the Ticker.

It also provides some nice mixins for people who want to have their
State provide a TickerProvider. And a schedulerTickerProvider for those
cases where you just want to see your battery burn.

Also, we now enforce destruction order for elements.

This feature is the implementation of an accessibility feature that changes the
size of text by a constant factor.

Fixes #5873

Fixes #5393.

We have so many render objects going on these days that showing every
box that gets an event just makes the screen blue. This limits it down
to only the ones that are actually doing something with the events.

Also, make SemanticsOwner into a real class and use it instead of a static in
several places.

We now use the `@required` annotation to encourage developers to
explicitly set onPressed and onChanged callbacks to null when that would
disable the widget.
