...now that we have generic methods, their types need to be specified too.

Previously we asserted that the element was not in the dirty list, but there
are scenarios where the element can be in the dirty list already. This patch
makes markNeedsBuild handle those cases by simply resorting the dirty list.

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

Fixes #5873

Somehow we missed this before.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/5615

* Change how navigator prevents redundant operations

Instead of requiring transactions, we now cancel all active pointers that are
interacting with the navigator and absorb future pointers until we get a chance
to build. This approach isn't perfect (e.g., events that trigger off the
cancelled pointers could still interact with the navigator), but it should be
better than the current transaction-based approach.

Fixes #4716

* Remove openTransaction

* test

* fixup

* System chrome overlay style fixes

1) Add a cache to avoid superfluous calls to the embedder
2) Coalesce calls to the embedder that are made in the same event loop
3) Move call site to material's AppBar from Title widget

#4461

Overview
========

This patch refactors images to achieve the following goals:

* it allows references to unresolved assets to be passed
  around (previously, almost every layer of the system had to know about
  whether an image came from an asset bundle or the network or
  elsewhere, and had to manually interact with the image cache).

* it allows decorations to use the same API for declaring images as the
  widget tree.

It requires some minor changes to call sites that use images, as
discussed below.

Widgets
-------

Change this:

```dart
      child: new AssetImage(
        name: 'my_asset.png',
        ...
      )
```

...to this:

```dart
      child: new Image(
        image: new AssetImage('my_asset.png'),
        ...
      )
```

Decorations
-----------

Change this:

```dart
      child: new DecoratedBox(
        decoration: new BoxDecoration(
          backgroundImage: new BackgroundImage(
            image: DefaultAssetBundle.of(context).loadImage('my_asset.png'),
            ...
          ),
          ...
        ),
        child: ...
      )
```

...to this:

```dart
      child: new DecoratedBox(
        decoration: new BoxDecoration(
          backgroundImage: new BackgroundImage(
            image: new AssetImage('my_asset.png'),
            ...
          ),
          ...
        ),
        child: ...
      )
```

DETAILED CHANGE LOG
===================

The following APIs have been replaced in this patch:

* The `AssetImage` and `NetworkImage` widgets have been split in two,
  with identically-named `ImageProvider` subclasses providing the
  image-loading logic, and a single `Image` widget providing all the
  widget tree logic.

* `ImageResource` is now `ImageStream`. Rather than configuring it with
  a `Future<ImageInfo>`, you complete it with an `ImageStreamCompleter`.

* `ImageCache.load` and `ImageCache.loadProvider` are replaced by
  `ImageCache.putIfAbsent`.

The following APIs have changed in this patch:

* `ImageCache` works in terms of arbitrary keys and caches
  `ImageStreamCompleter` objects using those keys. With the new model,
  you should never need to interact with the cache directly.

* `Decoration` can now be `const`. The state has moved to the
  `BoxPainter` class. Instead of a list of listeners, there's now just a
  single callback and a `dispose()` method on the painter. The callback
  is passed in to the `createBoxPainter()` method. When invoked, you
  should repaint the painter.

The following new APIs are introduced:

* `AssetBundle.loadStructuredData`.

* `SynchronousFuture`, a variant of `Future` that calls the `then`
  callback synchronously. This enables the asynchronous and
  synchronous (in-the-cache) code paths to look identical yet for the
  latter to avoid returning to the event loop mid-paint.

* `ExactAssetImage`, a variant of `AssetImage` that doesn't do anything clever.

* `ImageConfiguration`, a class that describes parameters that configure
  the `AssetImage` resolver.

The following APIs are entirely removed by this patch:

* `AssetBundle.loadImage` is gone. Use an `AssetImage` instead.

* `AssetVendor` is gone. `AssetImage` handles everything `AssetVendor`
  used to handle.

* `RawImageResource` and `AsyncImage` are gone.

The following code-level changes are performed:

* `Image`, which replaces `AsyncImage`, `NetworkImage`, `AssetImage`,
  and `RawResourceImage`, lives in `image.dart`.

* `DecoratedBox` and `Container` live in their own file now,
  `container.dart` (they reference `image.dart`).

DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH
==============================

* The `ImageConfiguration` fields are mostly aspirational. Right now
  only `devicePixelRatio` and `bundle` are implemented. `locale` isn't
  even plumbed through, it will require work on the localisation logic.

* We should go through and make `BoxDecoration`, `AssetImage`, and
  `NetworkImage` objects `const` where possible.

* This patch makes supporting animated GIFs much easier.

* This patch makes it possible to create an abstract concept of an
  "Icon" that could be either an image or a font-based glyph (using
  `IconData` or similar). (see
  https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/4494)

This patch starts working through the missing dartdocs in widgets.dart.

For consistency.

Fixes #4142

This reverts commit 55f9145e.

Turns out that this commit breaks apps that use the material library,
because of the _errorTextStyle DefaultTextStyle which has inherit:true.
Just setting it to false doesn't work, unfortunately, because then you
hit some sort of issue with merging that text style with others that
have inherit:true.

To make it clear that this constructor requires an explicit style. Also
throw a descriptive error recommending the inherit constructor for
styles with the inherit bit set.

Fixes #3842

Apps that didn't use [WidgetsApp] were not sending the `'Widgets
completed first useful frame'` notification. This fixes that by making
the code cleaner.

This adds in particular the ability to track the time at which the
framework boots up, and the time at which we are confident we have
completed the first useful frame.

The old names were getting silly and started stepping on valuable namespace.

The new names are consistent and clear.

* Refactored MaterialApp

Previously the widgets layer only provided a concrete binding, which
makes it awkward to extend it compared to other bindings. This moves
widgets to the same style as the other layers.

In a subsequent patch I'll use this to make the tests layer saner.

This only works for apps which use WidgetsApp.  Apps which don't
(like the game) could presumably read the static themselves
off of WidgetsApp.

The defaulting logic for bundles really belongs in the services layer,
not the widgets layer. This way we can tell non-widget code just to use
rootBundle if it just wants to read a JSON file or some such.

Now MediaQuery.of always returns a non-null value. By default, you get the
values associated with the current ui.Window.

Fixes #2894

This matches the pattern from Rect. I've left EdgeInsets.TRBL marked as
deprecated to give clients a chance to update.

Fixes #2860

- Make the textStyle optional
- Remove routes
- Make onGenerateRoute required
- Add some dartdocs

Now that the overlay actually respects the position we give it, put it
somewhere where the keyboard won't overlap it.

Fixes #2353

This patch renames StatelessComponent to StatelessWidget and
StatefulComponent to StatefulWidget.

Fixes #2308

Fixes #1382

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/1346

We get the icons from the iconfont now.

Also, remove the package:flutter CHANGELOG.md.  This file is outdated and the
git history is a more accurate change log these days.

These files are already in the "material" folder. They don't need to be
prefixed with material again.

Fixes #702

Each layer is supposed to reexport the parts of the previous layer
that are part of its API.

- In painting.dart, export from dart:ui all the Canvas-related APIs
  that make sense to be used at higher levels, e.g. PaintingStyle.

- Delete painting/shadows.dart. It was dead code.

- In rendering/object.dart, export all of painting.dart.

- In widgets/basic.dart, export all of painting.dart and
  animation.dart. Some classes in animation/ are renamed to make this
  less disruptive and confusing to the namespace.

- Split out Stocks back into an import model rather than a part model,
  so that it's easier to manage its dependencies on a per-file basis.

- Move Ticker to scheduler library.

- Remove as many redundant imports as possible now.

- Some minor nit picking cleanup in various files.
