As described in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/155169,
TextFields with hoverColor set can have an issue where they flicker as
the mouse enters and exits their bounds.

_BorderContainerState uses a 15ms animation to transition between
non-hovered and hovered states. Part of this animation is a ColorTween
between Colors.transparent and a given hoverColor. Critically,
Colors.transparent is transparent black. On high refresh rate displays
(any display with faster than 60z), this can result in a frame being
rendered where the TextField fill color is a dark, semi-transparent
version of hoverColor.

The immediate solution to this is to animate between hoverColor and a
hoverColor with alpha 0.
