Code Review

The pull request effectively addresses the issue where TextFormField did not correctly reset to its initial value after a parent widget rebuilds. By introducing a _initialValue field to store the original value and using it in the reset() method, the component now behaves as expected. The added test case thoroughly validates this fix.

Surprisingly straightforward! I like this solution for the reasons that @loic-sharma shared in #180056 (comment). This seems like something that is the responsibility of TextFormField, so it makes sense to store the initial value there.
