(These are changes cherry-picked from in-flight branches since they are
more independent and could be helpful even without those changes.)

- Change RouteBuilder's signature to take a single argument in which the
  other fields are placed, so that we can keep iterating on those
  arguments without having to break compatibility each time. Also, this
  makes defining route builders much simpler (only one argument to
  ignore rather than a variable number).

- Expose the next performance to RouteBuilders, since sometimes the
  route itself might not be where it's used.

- Allow BuildContext to be used to walk children, just like it can for
  ancestors

- Allow BuildContext to be used to get the Widget of the current
  BuildContext

- Allow StatefulComponentElement to be referenced with a type
  specialisation so that you don't have to cast when you know what the
  type you're dealing with actually is.

After this patch, InkWell is driven by gesture recognizers, which lets us
cleanly cancel splashes when the user actually scrolls.

I've also refactored all the clients of InkWell to use InkWell to detect
gestures instead of wrapping InkWell in a GestureDetector.

Fixes #1271

All the use cases for EventDisposition are now addressed by the gesture
detection system.

Also, introduce Colors and Typography to hold the material colors and the
typography declarations. Previously we expected clients of these libraries to
import them into a namespace, but that doesn't play nice with re-exporting them
from material.dart.

What's important about this code is that it's presenting services outside the
VM, not the particular technology used to present the services.

We're now using it at the widget layer for everything except scrolling and
flinging.

This still leaves Flex and FlexDirection available. At some point once
people have transitioned to Row/Column we should rename Flex to _Flex
and stop reexporting FlexDirection from basic.dart.

Fixes #743

- PageableList extends ScrollableList
One fixed width or height item is visible and centered at a
time. Fling and drag gestures scroll to the next/previous item.

- Scrollable.scrollTo(), Scrollable.scrollBy(), ensureWidgetIsVisible() API changed
The named animation parameter for these methods was replaced by
duration and curve. All of the methods now return a Future. The Future
completes when the scroll does.

This change eliminates the need for Scrollable to temporarily take ownership
of a ValueAnimation object (see #645).

- Using Future.then() instead of an AnimationPerformance status listener
In ensure_visible.dart _handleTap() uses ensureWidgetIsVisible() to
center the card roughly as before and then. When the implicit scroll
animation is complete, it changes the centered card's label font. The
change is made when the Future returned by ensureWidgetIsVisible()
completes.

- FixedHeightScrollable's itemHeight parameter is now itemExtent
If scrollDirection is ScrollDirection.vertical (the default) then itemExtent should
be the height of each item; otherwise it should be the width of each item.

Replaced _velocityForFlingGesture() in scrollable.dart with Scrollable._eventVelocity()
The original version clamped pixels/ms against pixels/sec constants. The new version
also deals with scrollDirection.

- Plumbed scrollDirection though FixedHeightScrollable and ScrollableList

Both classes should now support horizontal scrolling.

These properties should apply to foreground images as well as background
images. Also, rename these types from BackgroundFit and BackgroundRepeat
because they apply to things other than backgrounds.
