Fix Flutter 3.24 and later. Support textScaler in favor of the deprecated textScaleFactor. Upgrade the demo project and dependencies

[mlb5000]

This is primarily to fix the issue described here, which can cause crashes and failed rendering on Flutter 3.24.0 and later. I have tested this against Flutter 3.24.3 and went through each example on the Demo app, which appeared to function exactly as we would want.

Since this repo has been unmaintained for a couple of years now, I decided to fork it and merge all the outstanding PR's: https://github.com/FaFre/auto_size_text/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

The package also has been pushed to pub: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_auto_size_text

@FaFre the auto sizing of the text is s bit unpredictable and confronts with accessibility so there are some disadvantages of using it

@vasilich6107 is this an ongoing issue on the flutter side? TextScaler is the official replacement of the deprecated textScaleFactor which will be probably removed in one of the upcoming releases. If there are issues with it, we need to report them to the flutter team.

For my part I checked it in the demo app and ran some test in my app (pretty tight use case) and I didn't had any issues with latest flutter release.
