Provide material implementation of NumberPicker

[lwasyl]

Originally reported on Google issue tracker, but was redirected here.

Framework NumberPicker is highly problematic: there's couple of serious issues with it (e.g. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36952035) and fixing them in framework will take years until workarounds can be dropped. There's high number of closed issues in the tracker, but most of them just because the original poster didn't follow up. It's also difficult to style. There's good summary in a post by Mark Allison here: https://blog.stylingandroid.com/numberpicker/.

Having an implementation of scrollable number picker in Material Components library would be a nice alternative to fighting poor framework implementation.

I can check with our designers if we recently have a plan for this. (Tbh I haven't heard about it, though.)

@drchen Did you get feedback from your designers?

[drchen]

I don't think it's part of our plan this year. : ) (We are being busy at revamping the existing components.)

it's 2023 now, is a new number picker in the plan for this year?
