Remove the hack used to get the runtimeType without using an additional class in key.dart (#178219)
some context :
[#33297](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/33297) suggested that
`Type literals should support generics` which means that this would
become a valid syntax `Type type = List<int>;`.
the hack used here directly references to that issue :
2981516d74/packages/flutter/lib/src/foundation/key.dart (L109-L120)
because something like :
```dart
Type type = List<int>;
typedef MakeNullable<T> = T?;
typedef TypeOf<T> = T;
```
was not a valid syntax at the time of writing `key.dart`
since that issue is closed and those are valid syntax now , it is safe
to remove this hack and use what @lrhn suggested in this
[comment](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/33297#issuecomment-1108974509)
```dart
typedef TypeOf<T> = T;
```
in other words , before:
```dart
if (runtimeType == _TypeLiteral<ValueKey<T>>().type) {
}

class _TypeLiteral<T> {
  Type get type => T;
}
```
after:
```dart
if (runtimeType == _TypeOf<ValueKey<T>>) {
}

typedef TypeOf<T> = T;
```
