Previously, SizeChangedLayoutNotifier fired a notification even for
the first layout.

Also, previously its test relied on that, and didn't actually change
size at all. This fixes the test as well.

Also, rename SizeChangedLayoutNotificaion to SizeChangedLayoutNotification.

Closes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/6907

It used to crash when the State never actually used the TickerProvider
interface.

```dart
expect(x, moreOrLessEquals(0.0));
```

...for those cases where `x` might be 1e-11 or whatever.

Also, be more resilient when dumping the tree from inside the test framework.
Also, add an assert that helped me debug something the other day.

This class is just an alias for PlatformMessages. We'll remove it after a short
deprecation period.

This lets you use `Listenable.merge` without having to sanitize your
incoming list of change notifiers, in case your semantics are that
they are optional.

We didn't end up using this mechanism.

More clearly explain the role of child, childWhenDragging, and feedback.

Fixes #6962

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

The docs now include all the information contained in the exception.

Fixes #6994

We were trying to update the tooltip overlay entry, but that cannot work
because the overlay entry might have already built. Instead, we keep the
old value.

Fixes #7151

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

Fixes #7252

This patch makes the CupertinoSwitch follow the style of the iOS switch
more accurately.

This patch contains a first draft of an iOS-style switch. We'll likely need to
tweak the constants upon closer study, but the basics are here.

Dart will parse this path as a URI, and multiple leading slashes will cause
that part of the path to be parsed as an authority.

Port DecelerateInterpolator to Flutter.

Also, hide the Curve subclasses that you can't extend and that have no
statics and are generally not useful.

Callers can manually validate by calling validate(), or tell the Form to
validate on every change by setting the `autovalidate` parameter.

Sometimes you have several listenables, but you want to hand them to an
API (e.g. CustomPainter) that only expects one.

* Animate size of label text over text fields.

Also fade in the hintText so it doesn't pop in immediately as the label
text slides up.
