This is a PR addressing #57226 - Proposal: New UI for Licenses Page.
This PR replaces the previous single panel license page with one that uses a master/detail flow (MDFlow) to display packages and their respective licenses.
The License Page API remains unchanged. The logic for processing the license data is kept largely the same. This PR changes how the licenses are displayed, by introducing a responsive UI using the master/detail UI pattern. For now I am calling it Master Detail Flow, or MDFlow.
MDFlow manifests as two layouts depending on the screen size. On small and medium displays, as determined by the breakpoints given by the Material Design Spec, MDFlow utilises a nested layout. On large displays, MDFlow uses a two panel (lateral) layout. MDFlow is implemented in this PR using a Navigator for the nested layout, and a Stack for the lateral layout. The master and detail views are built using builders. For the interactive component, detail pages are requested from the master view using a proxy obtained by a widget lookup on the build context; MasterDetailFlow.of(context).
A frequent request from the last Flutter developer survey was for an easier method of testing light/dark mode changes. Currently, a user needs to manually change the theme settings or adjust phone settings to see the difference. Instead we should add a toggle from the CLI, and eventually devtools/Intellij/Vscode that allows developers to override the current setting.
Fixes#59495
Adds flutter.ext.brightnessOverride service protocol which either queries the current platform brightness, or overrides it to a new value. This accepts either Brightness.light or Brightness.dark as a value.
Adds a CLI toggle b which allows the setting to be toggled manually.
Requires an update to the MediaQuery, to conditionally use a debug override when not in release mode
This removes a dependency from Flutter (package:collection) by copying the implementation of mergeSort into Flutter's foundation/collections.dart.
Also, removed a reference to UnmodifiableSetView from the shortcuts code by just returning a copy instead.
* Add instructions for updating a localized string
* gem_missing_localizations does nothing when I test this out, seems to not be required
* Explain generation of new locale strings
