[Analyzer] Flutter_lints stack overflow error

[PvtPuddles]

My coworkers and I have started experiencing a Stack Overflow error when running dart analyze immediately after running pub get. The error slows down the analyzer significantly, though does not prevent normal operation.

Notes:

• Subsequent runs of dart analyze function as expected.
• Using flutter analyze instead of dart analyze appears to make the errors go away.
• Downgrading to flutter_lints: '>=4.0.0 <5.0.0' also appears to resolve the issue.
• I have not been able to reproduce this error in a new project. It appears to be caused by one of our project files, but I've been unable to narrow it down.
• Any project that depends on this test_package also exhibits this behavior.
