[Semantics]: Control over TextField's a11y announcer on maxLength property

[838]

Use case

On TextField widget when setting the maxLength property the screen readers will announce how many character is left on every input, which is a bit annoying for the end user when typing a long text.

Proposal

Could this be possible to add a option to the TextField either to disable the live announcer or to change the frequency of the announcing?

The announcement of the remaining characters is also done on android

sample code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
     home: Screen(title: 'Title'),
    );
  }
}

class Screen extends StatelessWidget {
  const Screen({
    required this.title,
    this.addQueryParams = false,
    Key? key,
  }) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  final bool addQueryParams;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(title),
      ),
      body: const Center(
        child: TextField(
          maxLength: 2000,
          maxLines: 4,
          autofocus: true,
          maxLengthEnforcement: MaxLengthEnforcement.enforced,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

This is controlled by the framework. Removing the engine tag.
