[flutter_tool] support --use-application-binary in flutter drive (#68060)

--use-application-binary allows running with an already built APK. This can be useful for speeding up CI test cases, or in our case eventually supporting some sort of build server. Demonstrate that this works by updating the old gallery test to use it. Fixes #56604
