how to scroll two listview builder simultaneously inside the pageview builder

The solution is to synchronize the scroll between two ListViews by listening to scroll events with NotificationListener<ScrollNotification>. Whenever a scroll event is emitted from one ListView set the other ListView controller to jump to the same position.

One optimization is to ignore notifications on the other ListView if the first or second one is already scrolling. But it also works without this optimization.

This is the result (Check also out the live demo on DartPad).
