TextExtensions extension

Extension methods for Text widgets that provide convenient text modification functionality.

This extension adds methods to easily modify existing Text widgets by creating new instances with updated properties. All methods return new Text widgets without modifying the original widget, following Flutter's immutable widget pattern.

The extension provides both granular control (individual property setters) and comprehensive styling (styled method) for text appearance and behavior modification.

Text Properties Supported:

• Layout: textAlign, textDirection, maxLines, overflow, softWrap
• Styling: fontSize, fontWeight, fontStyle, color, decoration
• Advanced: strutStyle, textScaler, semanticsLabel, heightBehavior
• Typography: letterSpacing, wordSpacing, height, fontFamily

Example usage:

Text('Hello World')
  .fontSize(18)
  .bold()
  .textAlign(TextAlign.center)
  .maxLines(2);
