DefaultAssetBundle class Null safety

A widget that determines the default asset bundle for its descendants.

For example, used by Image to determine which bundle to use for AssetImages if no bundle is specified explicitly.

This can be used in tests to override what the current asset bundle is, thus allowing specific resources to be injected into the widget under test.

For example, a test could create a test asset bundle like this:

class TestAssetBundle extends CachingAssetBundle {
  @override
  Future<ByteData> load(String key) async {
    if (key == 'resources/test') {
      return ByteData.view(Uint8List.fromList(utf8.encode('Hello World!')).buffer);
    }
    return ByteData(0);
  }
}

...then wrap the widget under test with a DefaultAssetBundle using this bundle implementation:
await tester.pumpWidget(
  MaterialApp(
    home: DefaultAssetBundle(
      bundle: TestAssetBundle(),
      child: const TestWidget(),
    ),
  ),
);

Assuming that TestWidget uses DefaultAssetBundle.of to obtain its AssetBundle, it will now see the TestAssetBundle's "Hello World!" data when requesting the "resources/test" asset.
