Deprecate `ThemeData.dialogBackgroundColor` in favor of `DialogThemeData.backgroundColor`
Summary
#
                  The ThemeData.dialogBackgroundColor
                   parameter was deprecated in favor of
                  the DialogThemeData.backgroundColor
                   parameter.
                
Context
#
                  The defaults for the Dialog
                   and AlertDialog
                   widgets can be
                  overridden with a component-specific theme like DialogThemeData.
                  Previously, the ThemeData.dialogBackgroundColor parameter was used to
                  override the default dialog background color,
                  which was made redundant by DialogThemeData.
                
Description of change
#
                  The ThemeData.dialogBackgroundColor
                   is deprecated in
                  favor of a component-specific theme.
                  Use DialogThemeData
                   to override the default background color.
                
Migration guide
#
                  Replace ThemeData.dialogBackgroundColor
                   with
                  DialogThemeData.backgroundColor
                   to override the
                  default dialog background color.
                
Code before migration:
theme: ThemeData(
  dialogBackgroundColor: Colors.orange,
),
                    
                    
                    
                  Code after migration:
theme: ThemeData(
  dialogTheme: const DialogThemeData(backgroundColor: Colors.orange),
),
