commit 223bd2a9d70bbbd235909c733ac8b821e887a4fa

    Provide creation extras to ViewModel lazy
   
    When using by viewModels, since they are normally called as part of
    initialization, there is normally no application context attached yet.
    This means creation extras passes has a null application associated with
    its key, causing a failure. We should make sure the Creation extras are
    accessed just in time.
   
    RelNote: "The `by viewModels()` and `by activityViewModels()` Kotlin property extensions
    now correctly pass `CreationExtras` to your `ViewModelProvider.Factory` when your `ViewModelStoreOwner` implements `getDefaultViewModelCreationExtras()`."
    Test: modified existing tests
