Description

As pointed out in #20720, our current implementation of the modal bottom sheets aren't following the Material spec, as tapping on a bottom sheet itself will dismiss the sheet. From the Material Guidelines, it should be dismissed by:

• Tapping a menu item or action within the bottom sheet
• Tapping the scrim
• Swiping the sheet down
• Using a close affordance within the bottom sheet’s top app bar, if available

The app would be responsible for the first and last as it would be providing the controls in the sheet. The other two are already handled by the bottom sheet implementation, however we also dismiss on a tap.

This PR removes the GestureDetector responsible for dismissing the sheet when the user taps on it. While this doesn't technically break the API, it does change the behavior of modal bottom sheets to bring it in line with the spec.

In the unlikely event that an application actually wanted this behavior they could wrap their bottom sheet content in a GestureDetector to replicate the previous behavior:

GestureDetector(
   onTap: () => Navigator.pop(context),
   behavior: HitTestBehavior.opaque,
   child: <bottom sheet contents>,
);

Tests

Modified the test to check to see if a tap doesn't dismiss the sheet.
