Feat: Add momentary varient of CupertinoSlidingSegmentedControl (#164262)
This PR introduces a new boolean flag, `isMomentary`, to the
`CupertinoSlidingSegmentedControl` widget.

When `isMomentary` is set to `true`, the segmented control behaves like
a momentary switch. Selecting a segment triggers its associated action
(e.g., via `onValueChanged`), but the segment doesn't stay visually
selected after the interaction ends. The control visually returns to its
previous state or a default state (often no segment selected).

When `isMomentary` is `false` (the default behavior), the control
maintains the selection state visually, highlighting the last chosen
segment.

**Motivation**

Currently, `CupertinoSlidingSegmentedControl` always maintains a
selected state. There are use cases where developers might want to use
the segmented control purely for triggering actions without persisting a
visual selection state, similar to how a `UISegmentedControl` can be
configured on iOS with `isMomentary = true`. This provides more
flexibility and aligns the Flutter widget closer to its native
counterpart's capabilities.

For example, this could be useful for triggering sorting actions, view
changes, or other immediate operations where maintaining a persistent
"selected" state isn't desired or meaningful.
