Dropdown Menu Creates Infinite Build Loop

### Steps to reproduce

1. Add a `DropdownMenu` and assign it a `TextEditingController`.
2. Define a list of `DropdownMenuEntry`.  Important: this list is dynamic, and re-created with each build.
3. Wrap the menu with a `ListenableBuilder` that listens to the text controller.

### Expected results

The `DropdownMenu` should be built a single time.

Our dropdown menu uses the user input to fetch some paged data, which then creates a list of new options based on their input.  I expect that changing the options should not result in the user's input being cleared; this makes it impossible for them to search for an item.
- (Related, but only tangentially: if the options are changed, I expect that the new options are filtered by the existing `TextEditingValue`.  The pre 3.27.0 solution of not doing anything would also be remedial.)

### Actual results

Instead, the `DropdownMenu` enters an infinite loop, spitting out the following error (full stack trace below):
```
======== Exception caught by widgets library =======================================================
The following assertion was thrown while rebuilding dirty elements:
'package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart': Failed assertion: line 5356 pos 12: '!_dirty': is not true.
```

Whenever the list of options change (read: every call to `build`, due to list equality), the text controller's value is reset to the initial value (null).  As a result, the listenable builder is rebuilt, starting the process again.

If there is a delay between modifying the `TextEditingController` and rebuilding the widget (as is the case in my production code), the widget will silently build forever, resetting the text input to empty every frame.

This issue can be mitigated by: 
- Defining the list of entries outside of build, such that the list is not recreated when the widget is built.
- Refactoring my page such that the `DropdownMenu` is not a child of the `ListenableBuilder`.  This is not practical for my use case :/

          dropdownMenuEntries: [
            for (final i in [1, 2, 3])
              DropdownMenuEntry(value: i, label: 'Item number $i')
          ],
        );

======== Exception caught by widgets library =======================================================
The following assertion was thrown while rebuilding dirty elements:
'package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart': Failed assertion: line 5356 pos 12: '!_dirty': is not true.


Either the assertion indicates an error in the framework itself, or we should provide substantially more information in this error message to help you determine and fix the underlying cause.
In either case, please report this assertion by filing a bug on GitHub:
