Implement RawMenuAnchor (#158255)
This PR adds a `RawMenuAnchor()` widget to widgets.dart. The purpose of
this widget is to provide a menu primitive for the Material and
Cupertino libraries (and others) to build upon. Additionally, this PR
makes MenuController an inherited widget to simplify nested access to
the menu (e.g. if you want to launch a context menu from a deeply-nested
widget).

This PR:
* Centralizes core menu logic to a private class,` _RawMenuAnchor()`, 
  * Provides the internals for interacting with menus:
    * TapRegion interop
    * DismissMenuAction handler
    * Close on scroll/resize
    * Focus traversal information, if applicable
* Subclasses override `_open`, `_close`, `_isOpen`, `_buildAnchor`, and
`_menuScopeNode`
* State is accessible by descendents via
`MenuController.maybeOf(context)._anchor`
* Adds 2 public constructors, backed by a `_RawMenuAnchor()` that
contains shared logic.
  * `RawMenuAnchor()`
    * Users build the overlay from scratch.
* Provides anchor/overlay position information and TapRegionGroupId to
builder
    * Does not provide FocusScope management. 
  * `RawMenuAnchorGroup()`
    * A primitive for menus that do not have overlays (menu bars). 
* This was previously called RawMenuAnchor.node(), but @dkwingsmt made a
good case for splitting out the constructor.

Some issues that need to be addressed:

I'm basing the menu semantics off of the comment
[here](ef3ca70db2/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/semantics/semantics.dart (L382)),
but I'm unsure whether the route should be given a name. There is no
menubar/menu/menuitem role in Flutter, so I'm assuming the menu should
be composed of nested dialogs

<s>Unlike the menubar pattern from
[W3C](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/menubar/examples/menubar-navigation/),
the RawMenuAnchor

- does not close on tab/shift-tab. I left this behavior out of the menu
so that users could customize tab behavior, but I'm not opinionated
either way
- does not open on ArrowUp/ArrowDown, because this could interfere with
user focus behavior in unconventional menu setups (e.g. a vertical
menu).
- does not automatically focus the first item in a menu overlay when
activated via enter/spacebar, but does focus the first item when
horizontal traversal opens a submenu. Automatically focusing the first
item whenever an overlay opens interferes with hover traversal, and I
couldn't think of a good way to only focus the first item when an
overlay is triggered via enter/spacebar.
- doesn't focus disabled items (I wasn't sure how to address this
without editing MenuItemButton)

While it is possible to nest menus -- for example, a dropdown anchor
within a full-app context menu area -- nested menus behave as a single
group. I was considering adding an additional parameter that separates
nested root menus from their parents, and am interested to hear your
feedback.</s>

This directory contains several examples of using Flutter. To run an example, use flutter run inside that example's directory. See the getting started guide to install the flutter tool.

Notes

Note on Gradle wrapper files in .gitignore:

Gradle wrapper files should normally be checked into source control. The example projects don't do that to avoid having several copies of the wrapper binary in the Flutter repo. Instead, the Gradle wrapper is injected by Flutter tooling, and the wrapper files are .gitignore'd to avoid making the Flutter repository dirty as a side effect of running the examples.
