Now that Flutter requires AGP 7+, we can use Java 11 as the compatibility version in the plugin template rather than 1.8, avoiding warnings with newer toolchains, and we can remove the check for 'namespace' existing that was only necessary to support AGP 4.1.
See also https://github.com/flutter/packages/pull/7795 which made this change in Flutter-team-owned plugins.

Original Description:
Adds support for Android 34 in the following ways:
- Bumps integration tests compile SDK versions 33 --> 34
- Bumps template compile SDK version 33 --> 34
- Also changes deprecated `compileSdkVersion` to `compileSdk`

Part of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/134220
Adds the `namespace` property necessary for AGP 8 compatibility to the plugin templates, with the conditional logic to ensure that it doesn't break AGP <4.2, so that new plugins will be maximally compatible.

`flutter build aar`
This new build command works just like `flutter build apk` or `flutter build appbundle`, but for plugin and module projects.
This PR also refactors how plugins are included in app or module projects. By building the plugins as AARs, the Android Gradle plugin is able to use Jetifier to translate support libraries into AndroidX libraries for all the plugin's native code. Thus, reducing the error rate when using AndroidX in apps.
This change also allows to build modules as AARs, so developers can take these artifacts and distribute them along with the native host app without the need of the Flutter tool. This is a requirement for add to app.
`flutter build aar` generates POM artifacts (XML files) which contain metadata about the native dependencies used by the plugin. This allows Gradle to resolve dependencies at the app level. The result of this new build command is a single build/outputs/repo, the local repository that contains all the generated AARs and POM files.
In a Flutter app project, this local repo is used by the Flutter Gradle plugin to resolve the plugin dependencies. In add to app case, the developer needs to configure the local repo and the dependency manually in `build.gradle`:
repositories {
maven {
url "<path-to-flutter-module>build/host/outputs/repo"
}
}
dependencies {
implementation("<package-name>:flutter_<build-mode>:1.0@aar") {
transitive = true
}
}
