google_sign_in: Not possible to re-authenticate with existing credentials #88556

Description

@ThetaSinner

The google_sign_in plugin at 5.0.7 deliberately gives back the same user from signIn and signInSilently once a sign in has succeeded. This is great for working with access tokens because a sign in is not required to refresh them.

The Android docs for silentSignIn recommend its use to get a new ID token when required.

It would be great if the application using the plugin could make the decision about whether the platform silent sign in should be called.
