Flutter should continue making frames in iOS app switcher #5449

Description

@eseidelGoogle

We presumably get some sort of lifecycle event from iOS when we get moved out of foreground and into the app-switcher.

At that time we stop making frames. If we're in the middle of scrolling, we'll jump to the current/new scroll position when the app is brought forward again. This is wrong. Try scrolling the Settings app on iOS (or any app) and then double-tap the home button to bring up the app switcher. The app will keep scrolling (as well as video will keep playing, etc).

Flutter doesn't keep scrolling in this mode, but should. We just need slightly better lifecycle handling.

This is a small nit, but worth tracking. FYI @chinmaygarde
