[CP-stable] Revert "Fix DropdownMenu does not rematch initialSelection when entries have changed" (#161177)
This pull request reverts the changes in #155757.

The auto-formatter created conflicts in the master branch, so the revert was performed manually in #160643.
For this cherry-pick PR, I was able to run `git revert 21381d843f3feb32640ae385aedd8e5c4003696b` without any problems.

### Issue Links

bug reports: #160196, #160555
cherry-pick request: #161176

### Target

stable

### Changelog Description

Passing a list literal to a `DropdownMenu` causes the widget to reset to the `initialSelection` after each build.

### Impacted Users

This affects anyone using the [DropdownMenu](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/DropdownMenu-class.html) widget.

### Impact Description

The impact usually consists of the text value being inconveniently reset each time the widget is rebuilt. (In some cases it can be a fatal crash: the code sample from #160196 shows how this change can lead to an infinite build loop.)

### Workaround

This regression can be mitigated by caching & modifying a single list instance, rather than using a list literal for the `DropdownMenu` constructor.

### Risk

low

### Test Coverage

yes

### Validation Steps

#160643 added a regression test for this revert.

The fix can also be verified by running the code sample from #160196 and verifying that there is no infinite build loop.

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.
