finalizeTree method

void finalizeTree ()

Complete the element build pass by unmounting any elements that are no longer active.

This is called by WidgetsBinding.drawFrame.

In debug mode, this also runs some sanity checks, for example checking for duplicate global keys.

After the current call stack unwinds, a microtask that notifies listeners about changes to global keys will run.
