to track these usages.

This was introduced by: https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/11041

This reverts commit 92ef2b9c.

This requires either runApp() or
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() to have been called before
using any MethodChannels. Plugins broadly rely on MethodChannels and
right now there's no general requirements that they be constructed
within the runApp call, so the ecosystem breakages from this are broader
than originally thought. Reverting for now.

# Description
Currently the benchmarks test prints a scary warning message, even when it passes, that a benchmark is being run with asserts enabled.

Normally we don't want developers to do this, because the performance of code with asserts is not characteristic of what end-users will experience. However, we need to unit-test benchmarkWidgets, so I've added a contraindicated option to suppress the warning for the test.

Revert "Add currentSystemFrameTimeStamp to SchedulerBinding (#33886)"

This reverts commit 61b83d32.

Convert scheduling to use `scheduleMicrotask` instead of `Timer.run`

* Deprecates `BinaryMessages` in favor of a default instance of `BinaryMessenger`, called `defaultBinaryMessenger`
* Platform channels use the `defaultBinaryMessenger` for their binaryMessenger default argument.

* enable lint unnecessary_new

* Upgrade everything except matcher.
* Roll matcher (and test)
* Adjust tests that depend on flutter:test directly to depend on a shim
* Require use of package:test shim and remove other references to package:test

The verbosity change is to help track down timeouts that currently look like:

```
C:\Windows\Temp\flutter sdk>call bin\flutter.bat config --no-analytics
Checking Dart SDK version...

```

* always schedule first frame when creating ticker, regardless of phase or frame

* Lock events during runApp's warm up frame

* move to scheduler binding

* let the one scheduleWarmUpFrame api always lock

* tweak test

* Add more checks to scheduleWarmUpFrame

* review

* add test

...instead of the engine.

* enable lint prefer_foreach

* fix tests

This splits the frame pipeline into two, beginFrame and drawFrame.

As part of making this change I added some debugging hooks that helped
debug the issues that came up:

 * I added debugPrintScheduleFrameStacks which prints a stack whenever
   a frame is actually scheduled, so you can see why frames are being
   scheduled.

 * I added some toString output to EditableText and RawKeyboardListener.

 * I added a scheduler_tester.dart library for scheduler library tests.

 * I changed the test framework to flush microtasks before pumping.

 * Some asserts that had the old string literal form were replaced by
   asserts with messages.

I also fixed a few subtle bugs that this uncovered:

 * setState() now calls `ensureVisualUpdate`, rather than
   `scheduleFrame`. This means that calling it from an
   AnimationController callback does not actually schedule an extra
   redundant frame as it used to.

 * I corrected some documentation.

Also, fix some minor bugs with SynchronousFuture.

* MultiTapGestureRecognizer previously would assert if there was no
   competition.
 * GestureArenaTeam would always select the first recongizer as the
   winner even if a later recognizer actually accepted the pointer
   sequence.
 * debugPrintStack would fail a type check if maxFrames was non-null.
 * FractionalOffset.lerp would throw a null-pointer exception if its
   second argument was null.

Also, add a number of tests for previously untested lines of code.

Previously, the ticker would not stop when it was muted because it thought it
was already not ticking.

Also, fix the bug where apps would assert when you change the time dilation.
Use that mechanism to fix the animation controller tests.
