Edge-To-Edge by default on android #86248

Description

@LasseRosenow

Use case

Recently flutter got official android edge-to-edge support for android (#81303). But its not enabled by default even though edge-to-edge is considered to be the new default way of developing modern android applications.
Changing edge-to-edge to be the default behaviour would make all flutter applications look much more modern without the need of specifically opting in, which is something many people would forget to do, or don't even know about.

Proposal

Make this the new default:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.edgeToEdge);
