The scroll notification events reported for a press-drag-release gesture within a scrollable on a touch screen device begin with a `ScrollStartNotification`, followed by a series of `ScrollUpdateNotifications`, and conclude with a `ScrollEndNotification`. This protocol can be used to defer work until an interactive scroll gesture ends. For example, you might defer updating a scrollable's contents via network requests until the scroll has ended, or you might want to automatically auto-scroll at that time.
In the example that follows the CustomScrollView automatically scrolls so that the last partially visible fixed-height item is completely visible when the scroll gesture ends. Many iOS applications do this kind of thing. It only makes sense to auto-scroll when the user isn't actively dragging the scrollable around.
It's easy enough to do this by reacting to a ScrollEndNotifcation by auto-scrolling to align the last fixed-height list item ([source code](https://gist.github.com/HansMuller/13e2a7adadc9afb3803ba7848b20c410)).

Dragging the scrollbar thumb in a desktop application is a similar user gesture. Currently it's not possible to defer work or auto-scroll (or whatever) while the scrollable is actively being dragged via the scrollbar thumb because each scrollbar thumb motion is mapped to a scroll start - scroll update - scroll end series of notifications. On a desktop platform, the same code behaves quite differently when the scrollbar thumb is dragged.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/assets/1377460/2593d8a3-639c-407f-80c1-6e6f67fb8c5f
The stream of scroll-end events triggers auto-scrolling every time the thumb moves. From the user's perspective this feels like a losing struggle.
One can also detect the beginning and end of a touch-drag by listening to the value of a ScrollPosition's `isScrollingNotifier`. This approach suffers from a similar problem: during a scrollbar thumb-drag, the `isScrollingNotifier` value isn't updated at all.
This PR refactors the RawScrollbar implementation to effectively use a ScrollDragController to manage scrolls caused by dragging the scrollbar's thumb. Doing so means that dragging the thumb will produce the same notifications as dragging the scrollable on a touch device.
Now desktop applications can choose to respond to scrollbar thumb drags in the same that they respond to drag scrolling on a touch screen. With the changes included here, the desktop or web version of the app works as expected, whether you're listing to scroll notifications or the scroll position's `isScrollingNotifier`.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/assets/1377460/67435c40-a866-4735-a19b-e3d68eac8139
This PR also makes the second [ScrollPosition API doc example](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/ScrollPosition-class.html#cupertino.ScrollPosition.2) work as expected when used with the DartPad that's part of API doc page.
Desktop applications also see scroll start-update-end notifications due to the mouse wheel. There is no touch screen analog for the mouse wheel, so an application that wanted to enable this kind of auto-scrolling alignment would have to include a heuristic that dealt with the sequence of small scrolls triggered by the mouse wheel. Here's an example of that: [source code](https://gist.github.com/HansMuller/ce5c474a458f5f4bcc07b0d621843165). This version of the app does not auto-align in response to small changes, wether they're triggered by dragging the scrollbar thumb of the mouse wheel.

*Use `super.key` instead of manually passing the `Key` parameter using super(key: key) in the constructors.*
Since if you create a widget the new default will use `super.key` instead of `Key? key : super(key: key)` this small change is to maintain the consistency, it has no semantic change
also there are some other places that might need to be updated:

this file for example generate l10n project and it has all the dart code as String, it might have tests that validate the output somewhere that I might miss, also there are some other places like the `_Segment` class where it require `ValueKey` instead if `Key` so I didn't update them (even though it's possible)

## API changes
### SystemContextMenu
A widget that shows the system context menu when built, and removes it when disposed. The main high-level way that most users would use this PR. Only works on later versions of iOS.
### SystemContextMenuController
Used under the hood to hide and show a system context menu. There can only be one visible at a time.
### MediaQuery.supportsShowingSystemContextMenu
Sent by the iOS embedder to tell the framework whether or not the platform supports showing the system context menu. That way the framework, or Flutter developers, can decide to show a different menu.
### `flutter/platform ContextMenu.showSystemContextMenu`
Sent by the framework to show the menu at a given `targetRect`, which is the current selection rect.
### `flutter/platform ContextMenu.hideSystemContextMenu`
Sent by the framework to hide the menu. Typically not needed, because the platform will hide the menu when the user taps outside of it and after the user presses a button, but it handles edge cases where the user programmatically rebuilds the context menu, for example.
### `flutter/platform System.onDismissSystemContextMenu`
Sent by the iOS embedder to indicate that the system context menu has been hidden by the system, such as when the user taps outside of the menu. This is useful when there are multiple instances of SystemContextMenu, such as with multiple text fields.
It's now possible to use the native-rendered text selection context menu on iOS. This sacrifices customizability in exchange for avoiding showing a notification when the user presses "Paste". It's off by default, but to enable, see the example system_context_menu.0.dart.

`@visibleForOverriding` + `@protected` unfortunately does not catch the case where a `compute*` method was overridden in a subtype and the overide was called in that same type's implementation.
I did not add a `flutter_ignore` for this because it doesn't seem there will be false positives.

This is a reland for #138521 with an updated g3fix(cl/605555997). Local test: cl/609608958.
## Description
This PR adds more documentation for `TextEditingController(String text)` constructor and it adds one example.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/96245 was a first improvement to the documentation.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/79495 tried to hide the cursor when an invalid selection is set but it was reverted.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/123777 mitigated the issue of having a default invalid selection: it takes care of setting a proper selection when a text field is focused and its controller selection is not initialized.
I will try changing the initial selection in another PR, but It will probably break several existing tests.

The documentation for using `findChildIndexCallback` recommends using `indexOf`, but that causes [this line](05259ca938/packages/flutter/lib/src/rendering/sliver_multi_box_adaptor.dart (L259)) to throw in debug mode, and when using `SliverList`, it breaks the render.
This PR changes the usage to check if the index is not negative before using it, and changes to return `null` instead if the child wasn't able to be found.
There's the related issue #107123, but this doesn't actually fix it.
-----
This PR has been updated to add the snippets that were used in the `findChildIndexCallback` comment as examples with proper tests, as well as updating the comment to reference the new examples.
