Remove semantics geometry shortcircuit (#178680)
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/173097

The semantics flush is ~200 μs slower with the shortcuircut removed +
#177477 (which reduces the time increase by ~ 100 μs, from 876 μs to 773
μs) I tried to introduce caching in [a different
patch](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/compare/master...LongCatIsLooong:semantics-geometry?expand=1)
but that patch is more risky and still needs a cleanup.

773 μs doesn't seem bad considering there were little to no geometry
updates between frames before the fix. Introducing cache currently only
improves `Semantics.ensureGeometry` by less than 100 μs and is much more
risky / harder to ensure the correctness.
