* 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.

* make @immutable const

* fix build

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

This patch replaces uses of Flexible with Expanded where we're using
FlexFit.tight. We still need to think of a better name for the
FlexFit.loose variant.

Also, improve the docs for Row, Column, Flex, and RenderFlex to be more
problem-oriented and to give a complete account of the layout algorithn.

Fixes #6960
Fixes #5169

This issue got fixed by a recent check-in, but I had a test specifically
for this incarnation so we should probably keep it just in case.
