Migrate to null-safety

Everything is in title)

Migration to null-safety is currently blocked by the following (direct & transitive) dependencies not supporting null safety yet:

• black_hole_flutter: Migrate to null-safety black_hole_flutter#1
• dartx: Null Safety Migration simc/dartx#112
• crypto: Publish null-safe version? dart-lang/crypto#105
• time_machine: null safety Dana-Ferguson/time_machine#50

@JonasWanke would it be possible to unsound null safety to do a partial migration, I wonder?

[JonasWanke]

@IoanaAlexandru As crypto has published a null-safe version two days ago (unblocking dartx) and there's an open PR for time_machine, I'd rather wait for a few more days, hoping we'll be unblocked very soon.

dartx seems to be done
black_hole_flutter's PR is closed too
time_machine seems to be abandoned

Sorry for the delay and for not keeping this up-to-date. I've recently started the rewrite originally proposed in #17, and as part of this rewrite, also migrated to null-safety and dropped time_machine and dartx dependencies (which wasn't migrated at the time). This rewrite isn't done yet, but I've already managed to overcome the major blockers (visible as layout overflows in the old app).

Hi. Does the work continue? Is there anything I can help with

[JonasWanke]

The work continues, but, unfortunately, quite slowly due to time constraints. I've posted an update here: #17 (comment). I'll try to get the API stable and release a new version very soon. After that, contributions are very welcome!
