[material/menu_anchor.dart] Add animations to MenuAnchor. (#176494)
* Adds MD3 animations to MenuAnchor. 
* Adds a "hoverOpenDelay" parameter on `SubmenuButton`
* Moves the layout algorithm from SingleChildLayoutDelegate to a custom
render object. <s>This was done because I needed to access the dry
layout of the menu panel for the best effect. I'll demonstrate
below.</s> Turns out using dry layout significantly limits what children
you can use with a widget. As a result, I'm calculating the final height
using the inverse height factor.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/135025

I don't have access to the internal Google documentation, so I did my
best to deduce the spec from
https://github.com/material-components/material-web/blob/main/menu/internal/menu.ts.

This change is currently opt-in via an `animated` parameter on
`MenuAnchor` and `SubmenuButton`. As a result, this is not a breaking
change. Because the PR is already quite large, I chose to not add
animation customization to this PR. I also didn't change any theming
files or `DropdownMenu`.

The only other API addition is a `hoverOpenDelay` parameter on
`SubmenuButton`. This parameter delays the start of a submenu opening by
the specified duration. It is independent of the `animated` parameter.

When `animated == false`, the menu runs its forward and reverse
animations with a duration of 0. I originally disposed of all animation
assets when `animated` was false, but found that the code/testing
complexity to be unwieldy.

Thanks to @QuncCccccc and @dkwingsmt for [their work on this
issue.](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/143416) Sorry for
throwing a wrench into the original PR by introducing `RawMenuAnchor`...

Notes

Note on Gradle wrapper files in .gitignore:

Gradle wrapper files should normally be checked into source control. The example projects don't do that to avoid having several copies of the wrapper binary in the Flutter repo. Instead, the Gradle wrapper is injected by Flutter tooling, and the wrapper files are .gitignore'd to avoid making the Flutter repository dirty as a side effect of running the examples.
