    Semantics no-op cleanups
   
    Partly in response to lmr's broad code review, I did a pass of
    superficial API/implementation cleanup.  The main changes are:
   
    - I changed each Boolean SemanticsProperty where false is equivalent to
      not being present to take "Unit" instead.  This is conceptually
      clearer: it avoids questions like "can I cancel out a semantics from a
      merged child by setting it to false?"  Because "property = Unit" looks
      weird, I also changed the style of these to "property()".
   
    - I moved the Semantics id generator closer to where it's used, in
      SemanticsModifierCore.  I made it internal and an AtomicInt.
      (Note that integer ids are heavily used in the Android
      AccessibilityNodeInfo APIs so I can't simply remove them entirely.)
   
    - I deleted dead code.  Some examples include SemanticsHintOverrides,
      a public API not connected to anything, and SemanticsPropertyKey
      merge() open method which is never called.  (In both cases I have
      a different plan in mind for accessibility.)
   
    Fixes: 145951226
    Fixes: 145955412
    Test: existing tests
    Relnote: "Single-value semantics properties now use a calling style.
    For example, 'semantics { hidden = true }' is now written as:
    'semantics { hidden() }'."

I also ran into this today while trying to add a FragmentScenario test. Followed the testing documentation and arrived at the same place. AppBarConfiguration attempts to interact with NavGraph and crashes.

Yep, we should have a better testing story that doesn't depend on using mocks.

One and only solution is to use Mockito in Espresso tests. Which is actually is almost equal to no solution. We strictly do not use Mockito in our integrations tests running on devices because that is very fragile and causes huge amount of issues when using on different SDK versions. This makes Navigation lib no go for us.

So current situation:
- Navigation library is already released with stable API.
- API is created without test-ability in mind. Huge classes with large amount of public methods, no interfaces. Using such tools as Mockito is not a solution, but workaround for situations when API is not testable.

After 10 years of creating un-testable Android SDKs there was possibility to have clean slate opportunity. And here we go again. API released and needs to be maintained now. Please recognize this problem now and bump priority from lowest (P3) to something higher. Because until we won't have possibility to test our app navigation flows we can't use this library.
