Breaking change: removed deprecated methods of PlatformMessages, leaving only binary messaging there. All other use of platform communication now goes through PlatformMessageChannel and PlatformMethodChannels. Retained use of String and JSON codecs for now.

* Bump to test `0.12.20`.
Some test `0.12.20` highlights:
* introduces `expectLater()` that returns a `Future` that completes when the matcher has finished running
* deprecates the `verbose` parameter to `expect()` and the `formatFailure()` (to be removed in `0.13.0`)
Otherwise:
* to keep up w/ the deprecation of `verbose`, removes `widget_tester` API to pass `verbose` flag (alternatively we could suppress the warning for now)
* Update stack manipulation.
* Fix framecount.
* Add find.descendant API to support find descendants of an element by passing the current element and the finder of descendant.

- output single-line JSON because iOS 9.x cannot output more than one line
- move the workaround for #7433 into LiveTestWidgetsFlutterBinding so that it works in all cases (e.g. animation_bench.dart on iOS)
Also, make hasOneLineDescription more discerning.
Also, add a test for hasOneLineDescription.
Also, add a test for GravitySimulation, to test the toString.
```dart
expect(x, moreOrLessEquals(0.0));
```
...for those cases where `x` might be 1e-11 or whatever.
Also, be more resilient when dumping the tree from inside the test framework.
Also, add an assert that helped me debug something the other day.
We were trying to update the tooltip overlay entry, but that cannot work
because the overlay entry might have already built. Instead, we keep the
old value.
Fixes#7151
Add an option to provide a custom description to predicate
finders. Without a custom description we default to printing the
predicate function's signature, which is not all that useful.
Use this new option in the driver extension to print the text of the
sought after tooltip.
This requires all AnimationController objects to be given a
TickerProvider, a class that can create the Ticker.
It also provides some nice mixins for people who want to have their
State provide a TickerProvider. And a schedulerTickerProvider for those
cases where you just want to see your battery burn.
Also, we now enforce destruction order for elements.
