CupertinoTabScaffold class

Implements a tabbed iOS application's root layout and behavior structure.

The scaffold lays out the tab bar at the bottom and the content between or behind the tab bar.

A tabBar and a tabBuilder are required. The CupertinoTabScaffold will automatically listen to the provided CupertinoTabBar's tap callbacks to change the active tab.

Tabs' contents are built with the provided tabBuilder at the active tab index. The tabBuilder must be able to build the same number of pages as there are tabBar.items. Inactive tabs will be moved Offstage and their animations disabled.

Use CupertinoTabView as the content of each tab to support tabs with parallel navigation state and history.

A sample code implementing a typical iOS information architecture with tabs. 
CupertinoTabScaffold(
  tabBar: CupertinoTabBar(
    items: <BottomNavigationBarItem> [
      // ...
    ],
  ),
  tabBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
    return CupertinoTabView(
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return CupertinoPageScaffold(
          navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
            middle: Text('Page 1 of tab $index'),
          ),
          child: Center(
            child: CupertinoButton(
              child: const Text('Next page'),
              onPressed: () {
                Navigator.of(context).push(
                  CupertinoPageRoute<void>(
                    builder: (BuildContext context) {
                      return CupertinoPageScaffold(
                        navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
                          middle: Text('Page 2 of tab $index'),
                        ),
                        child: Center(
                          child: CupertinoButton(
                            child: const Text('Back'),
                            onPressed: () { Navigator.of(context).pop(); },
                          ),
                        ),
                      );
                    },
                  ),
                );
              },
            ),
          ),
        );
      },
    );
  },
)

To push a route above all tabs instead of inside the currently selected one (such as when showing a dialog on top of this scaffold), use Navigator.of(rootNavigator: true) from inside the BuildContext of a CupertinoTabView.
