RunPeriodically class

Runs the given callback repeatedly after each given interval period.

When the widget is first initialized, the callback can either be run after the specified interval (default) or immediately if runImmediately is set to true. The callback will then run again periodically after the given interval.

This widget is declarative; if the widget updates and the interval changes, it will run the callback based on the new interval, even calling instantly if the interval is shorter.

A null duration will result in no callbacks.

This widget also respects the app's lifecycle and will not invoke the callback while the app is paused.

If the callback throws, this widget will retry calling the callback again after a backoff period (errorBackoffSeconds) that increases exponentially.
