Ian Hickson 3252701753 Make it possible to run tests live on a device (#3936)
This makes it possible to substitute 'flutter run' for 'flutter test'
and actually watch a test run on a device.

For any test that depends on flutter_test:

1. Remove any import of 'package:test/test.dart'.

2. Replace `testWidgets('...', (WidgetTester tester) {`
      with `testWidgets('...', (WidgetTester tester) async {`

3. Add an "await" in front of calls to any of the following:
    * tap()
    * tapAt()
    * fling()
    * flingFrom()
    * scroll()
    * scrollAt()
    * pump()
    * pumpWidget()

4. Replace any calls to `tester.flushMicrotasks()` with calls to
   `await tester.idle()`.

There's a guarding API that you can use, if you have particularly
complicated tests, to get better error messages. Search for
TestAsyncUtils.

The files in this directory are used as part of tests in the flutter_tools package. They are here because here these tests need a pubspec.yaml that references the flutter framework (which is intentionally not true of the flutter_tools package).
