FadeForwardsPageTransitionsBuilder's duration is too slow

[justinmc]

The Fade Forwards transition appears slower than native.

Native Android Settings	Flutter

However, the duration that we use is exactly correct according to the Android source code (800ms).

What's different is that native Android is using Material 3 Expressive springs, and Flutter is not. Even using a very long-tailed curve, Flutter seems way too slow.

Flutter's options are:

1. Wait for a first party Flutter implementation of springs (I'm not sure if/when Flutter will have a spring implementation that could help here).
2. Deal with the transition feeling slow (very soon it will be the default transition and lots of users will see it Predictive back route transitions by default #165832).
3. Shorten the duration.

For now, I support number three.

As seen in #165832, it is quite painful to change the default page transition duration in Flutter. There were several customer test failures and Google test failures because of this. I even created TransitionDurationObserver to help with this.

In order to avoid multiple breakages, we should update this transition duration now as a part of #165832, so our users are only broken once by a changing page transition duration.
