New a11y traversal:

- sort direct sibling SemanticsNodes only
- use new sorting algorithm
- implement RTL
- test semantics in traversal order by default
- add AppBar traversal test
- breaking: remove nextNodeId/previousNodeId from the framework
- breaking: remove DebugSemanticsDumpOrder.geometricOrder

* a11y: remove SemanticsSortOrder; sort locally only; semanticsOwner post-test check

* update accessibility test framework

- default nextNodeId/previousNodeId to -1
- stop treating null as opt-out from value testing
- add `id`, `TestSemantics.root`, and `tags` to the suggested code in the TestSemantics failure message
- fix a small bug with raw string escaping
- update all tests accordingly

* fix sortKey doc

* prefer const over final

`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.
See also https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/11993.

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.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/13943.

* Drop invisible SemanticsNodes from tree

A node is invisible if it is outside of the bounds of the screen and if it is not merged into its (partially) visible parent.

Also in this PR: only set `wasAffectedByClip` to true if the nodes has actually been clipped.
