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.

* Added custom radii to RRect.
This is the first commit towads an implementation of
MergeableMaterial. It adds custom radii to RRect.
* Renamed RRect constructors and added BorderRadius.
BorderRadius is a class similar to EdgeInsets that lets you define
all rounded corners of a rounded rectangle easily.
Anywhere that accepted IconData now accepts either an Icon or an
ImageIcon.
Places that used to take an IconData in an `icon` argument, notably
IconButton and DrawerItem, now take a Widget in that slot. You can wrap
the value that used to be passed in in an Icon constructor to get the
same result.
Icon itself now takes the icon as a positional argument, for brevity.
ThemeData now has an iconTheme as well as a primaryIconTheme, the same
way it has had a textTheme and primaryTextTheme for a while.
IconTheme.of() always returns a value now (though that value itself may
have nulls in it). It defaults to the ThemeData.iconTheme.
IconThemeData.fallback() is a new method that returns an icon theme data
structure with all fields filled in.
IconTheme.merge() is a new constructor that takes a context and creates
a widget that mixes in the new values with the inherited values.
Most places that introduced an IconTheme widget now use IconTheme.merge.
IconThemeData.merge and IconThemeData.copyWith act in a way analogous to
the similarly-named members of TextStyle.
ImageIcon is introduced. It acts like Icon but takes an ImageProvider
instead of an IconData.
Also: Fix the analyzer to actually check the stocks app.
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

It's safe to remove the unneeded `void`s from setters since the blocking issues in the
`always_declare_return_types` lint have been fixed (https://github.com/dart-lang/linter/). We can also safely flip the bit on `avoid_return_types_on_setters`.
The 'routes' table is a point of confusion with new developers. By
providing a 'home' argument that sets the '/' route, we can delay the
point at which we teach developers about 'routes' until the point where
they want to have a second route.
Previously, the client of PopupMenuButton needed to build all the menu times
when building the PopupMenuButton. This can get expensive if, for example, each
item in a scrollable list has a popup menu associated with it.
Now the client passes a builder function to the PopupMenuButton that gets
invoked only when its time to show the menu items.
LazyBlock is intended as a replacement for MixedViewport. Rather than
maintaining a table of all the observed child sizes (like
MixedViewport), LazyBlock works by dead reckoning the location of the
children based on the existing viewport. This approach makes it easier
to resize children because LazyBlock doesn't cache any additional
information that would need to be invalidated.
This patch contains a first draft of LazyBlock that works in a simple
usage scenario. Subsequent patches will replace
ScrollableMixedWidgetList with LazyBlock and port the existing
ScrollableMixedWidgetList tests over to LazyBlock.
