Component used: Lifecycle

Version used: 2.5.0-alpha01

Currently the call to enableSavedStateHandles() creates a ViewModel using the ViewModelStore. This requires that the ViewModelStore be set on any component attempting to make the call, but there are scenarios where the call to enableSavedStateHandles needs to happen before that in particular in the Fragment and Navigation components where the call is not immediately made when the object is constructed or sometimes not at all.

If we remove the reliance on SavedStateHandles (and therefore view models), we can lean into the SavedStateProvider APIs and the call to enableSavedStateHandles() can be made before the ViewModelStore is set.
