[web] Allow Flutter apps to have 13% bigger screen after being scrolled down #64572

Description

@tomasbaran

Let browsers know you are scrolling a Flutter app, so it automatically hides the toolbars (like it happens in other websites)

Use case

Watch the upper bar get shrink and the bottom toolbar get disappear, so the app gets the bigger real estate.

This is how a non-flutter competing app does it:
giphy-3

This is how my Flutter app does it:
giphy

Look how much space the non-flutter app gets for their app.

Proposal

We, Flutter developers, should NOT be disadvantaged by choosing Flutter for our apps, while our competing apps get bigger real estate for their apps.

Other apps are able to reduce the toolbars that get in the way from 20% -> 7%. Flutter apps have that 20% in the way all the time.
