[firebase_auth]Fixing exception on Android when linking phone number to email/password account

[kika]

Fix for flutter/flutter#26477

For completeness this one is also needed: b26b272

Hey, I saw this and you need to include the case on android where phone auth takes place without sending an sms. I had had a fix earlier in #973 to solve that issue as well

[kika]

@cqhchan I'd love to, but for that, I believe I need a real Android device with SIM card and active service and I don't have any physical Android device around. Only emulator.

Flutter team, please review and merge this code. This is blocking so many folks!

this is blocking my team as well, why it's not being addressed?
