* General improvoments to the loader app:
* Show a message after 8 seconds if no connection comes in.
* Show a progress bar as files are being uploaded.
* Hide the spinner just before launching the application.
* General improvements to the "flutter run" UI:
* Add "?" key as a silent alias for "h".
* Make the help text bold so it doesn't get mixed with the logs.
* Make "R" do a cold restart when hot reload is enabled.
* Supporting features and bug fixes:
* Add support for string service extensions.
* Other bug fixes:
* Expose debugDumpRenderTree() outside debug mode.
* Logger.supportsColor was missing a getter.
* Mention in the usage docs that --hot requires --resident.
* Trivial style fixes.
The new `empty_statements` lint (in the next DEV roll), flags these empty statements. Harmless, except the one in `basic.dart` that fixes a real-life bug. :)
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.
This prevents multiple simultaneous runs of the analyzer from stomping
over each other (e.g. multiple runs of 'update-packages'). Certain
long-lived commands (like analyze, run, logs) are exempted once they've
done enough work to be safe from most stomping action.
This still doesn't make us entirely safe from craziness, e.g. if you're
half way through an 'update-packages' run and you call 'git pull', who
knows what state you'll end up in. But there's only so much one can do.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/2762
Also, make it clear the screen between results so it's more obvious
what's going on when you have new results (especially when you have
fixed everything).
