`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
}
}

This is done via `flutter build bundle`. As a consequence, this PR introduces a new way to disable analytics via the `FLUTTER_SUPPRESS_ANALYTICS` env flag.
* Gradle generates ELF shared libraries instead of AOT snapshots.
* `flutter build apk/appbundle` supports multiple `--target-platform` and defaults to `android-arm` and `android-arm64`.
* `flutter build apk` now has a flag called `--split-per-abi`.

* `flutter build apk` now has a flag called `--split-per-abi`.
This is a replacement for the old implementation of --build-shared-library
that emits an AOT assembly snapshot and feeds it to the Android NDK toolchain.
Some parts of the appbundle build process were based on the logic for building
APK packages. However, these steps (copying to a directory shared by all
build variants, and calculating a SHA) are not necessary for an appbundle.
* Added support for authentication codes for the VM service.
Previously, a valid web socket connection would use the following URI:
`ws://127.0.0.1/ws`
Now, by default, the VM service requires a connection to be made with a
URI similar to the following:
`ws://127.0.0.1:8181/Ug_U0QVsqFs=/ws`
where `Ug_U0QVsqFs` is an authentication code generated and shared by
the
service.
This behavior can be disabled with the `--disable-service-auth-codes`
flag.
* Use source list from the compiler to track invalidated files.
* Revert accidental change
* Fix first-time-seen-the-file logic
* Fix/simplify invalidate logic now that we can rely on compiler to let us know what is the cut-off point for invalidation.
* Update devfs mock to accommodate for new fields
* Fix deleted files case
* Analyzer found missing final
* some space formattings
* always use blocks in if-else if a block is used
* format spaces in for and while
* allow multiline if conditions
* fix missing space
