Fix VoiceOver does not announce state of ButtonSegment (#175635)
- Fix https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/146987
- As explained at
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/146987#issuecomment-3294737075:
this PR proposes _replacing_ `checked` with `selected` here:
 

f4de70c647/packages/flutter/lib/src/material/segmented_button.dart (L634)
 
Then VoiceOver can indicate when the button segment is selected. It's
_replacing_ action but not _adding_ because _adding_ (keep both
`checked` and `selected`) will cause the button to be read with both
checked and selected states with Android TalkBack reader that may cause
confusion to users (watch demo videos). I also did test with iOS
segmented control (storyboard) and Android Jetpack Compose to compare:
on these native platforms, it announces `selected` state (watch demo
videos).
