Closes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/158012.
This is (effectively) a user-facing NOP, which is exchanging an
on-by-default command-line argument (`--implicit-pubspec-resolution`)
for an off-by-default global feature flag
(`explicit-package-dependencies`). It matches the mental model better,
is less painstaking to maintain and feed throughout, and will be easier
to globally flip on/off in a future PR.

Work towards https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/157819. **No behavior changes as a result of this PR**.
Based on a proof of concept by @jonahwilliams (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/157818).
The existence of this flag (which for the time being, defaults to `true`) implies the following:
1. The (legacy, deprecated) `.flutter-plugins` file is not generated:
https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/flutter-plugins-configuration
2. The (legacy, deprecated) `package:flutter_gen` is not synthetically generated:
https://github.com/flutter/website/pull/11343
(awaiting website approvers, but owners approve this change)
This change creates `useImplicitPubspecResolution` and plumbs it through as a required variable, parsing it from a `FlutterCommand.globalResults` where able. In tests, I've defaulted the value to `true` 100% of the time - except for places where the value itself is acted on directly, in which case there are true and false test-cases (e.g. localization and i10n based classes and functions).
I'm not extremely happy this needed to change 50+ files, but is sort of a result of how inter-connected many of the elements of the tools are. I believe keeping this as an explicit (flagged) argument will be our best way to ensure the default behavior changes consistently and that tests are running as expected.
