TextField autofill for common user properties taken from iOS #33040
Description
Use case
Autofill values that can be automatically retrieved from iOS.
Proposal
It'd be great to add a new property to TextField/TextFormField that will allow to control over iOS' textContentType field. For example it is handy to auto fill the user's name, email or phone number.

I thought that Flutter might already do this via
keyboardType, but it looks like it'stextContentType. This would probably mean adding a field to CupertinoTextField, passing it through to the engine, and then settingtextContentTypein the engine. That's doable and I think this is a very good feature to have.There may be something equivalent to do for Android too.

I have a suggestion of add TextContent.username this properity to let iOS to know that this is a filed of Username (beacuse password textcontenttype already known by ios secure text entry.)

I'm going to close this to focus all autofill discussion on #13015. @Evsio0n your PR is still being mentioned over there.
