Guard `PlatformDispatcher.setApplicationLocale` in `_LocalizationsState.locale` behind `widget.isApplicationLevel` so subtree `Localizations` and `Localizations.override` widgets do not overwrite the application-wide locale. Fixes flutter#194696

Code Review
This pull request modifies _LocalizationsState in localizations.dart to only update the application locale via WidgetsBinding.instance.platformDispatcher.setApplicationLocale if widget.isApplicationLevel is true. It also adds a corresponding widget test in localizations_test.dart to verify that the locale is not sent to the engine when Localizations is not at the application level. I have no feedback to provide.
