Support for FFI calls with `@Native external` functions through Native assets on MacOS and iOS. This enables bundling native code without any build-system boilerplate code.

### Implementation details for MacOS and iOS.
Dylibs are bundled by (1) making them fat binaries if multiple architectures are targeted, (2) code signing these, and (3) copying them to the frameworks folder. These steps are done manual rather than via CocoaPods. CocoaPods would have done the same steps, but (a) needs the dylibs to be there before the `xcodebuild` invocation (we could trick it, by having a minimal dylib in the place and replace it during the build process, that works), and (b) can't deal with having no dylibs to be bundled (we'd have to bundle a dummy dylib or include some dummy C code in the build file).
The dylibs are build as a new target inside flutter assemble, as that is the moment we know what build-mode and architecture to target.
The mapping from asset id to dylib-path is passed in to every kernel compilation path. The interesting case is hot-restart where the initial kernel file is compiled by the "inner" flutter assemble, while after hot restart the "outer" flutter run compiled kernel file is pushed to the device. Both kernel files need to contain the mapping. The "inner" flutter assemble gets its mapping from the NativeAssets target which builds the native assets. The "outer" flutter run get its mapping from a dry-run invocation. Since this hot restart can be used for multiple target devices (`flutter run -d all`) it contains the mapping for all known targets.
### Example vs template
The PR includes a new template that uses the new native assets in a package and has an app importing that. Separate discussion in: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/131209.
### Tests
This PR adds new tests to cover the various use cases.
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/native_assets_ios.dart
* Runs an example app with native assets in all build modes, doing hot reload and hot restart in debug mode.
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/native_assets_ios_simulator.dart
* Runs an example app with native assets, doing hot reload and hot restart.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/integration.shard/native_assets_test.dart
* Runs (incl hot reload/hot restart), builds, builds frameworks for iOS, MacOS and flutter-tester.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/build_system/targets/native_assets_test.dart
* Unit tests the new Target in the backend.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/ios/native_assets_test.dart
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/macos/native_assets_test.dart
* Unit tests the native assets being packaged on a iOS/MacOS build.
It also extends various existing tests:
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/module_test_ios.dart
* Exercises the add2app scenario.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/features_test.dart
* Unit test the new feature flag.

The deeplink validation tool will become an static app so it can't no longer access vm services.
The goal will be then to turn them into flutter analyze command similar to `flutter analyze --android --[options]` that static app can use on.
This pr only removes vm services and turn the api to dump a output file instead of printing everything to stdout.
1. Remove vm service registration
2. combine print<variant>ApplicationId and print<variant>AppLinkDomain into one task dump<variant>AppLinkSettings, which dump all the data in a json file
The deeplink validation tool will be a static app in devtool instead of regular app. A Static app doesn't require a running app; therefore, we can't call these API through vmservices. I decided to convert these API into flutter analyzer command, which will be done in a separate PR https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/131009.
The reason these print tasks are converted into file dumps is to reduce the amount of data encoding and decoding. Instead of passing data through stdout, the devtool can read the files generated by gradle tasks instead.
fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/120408
Added two gradle tasks, one for grabing the application id, one for grabbing app link domains.
Added a new vmservices to call these two gradle tasks and return the result.
The expected work flow is that the devtool will first call a vmservices to grab all avaliable build variants. It will then choose one of the build variant and call this new services to get application id and app link domains.
* Starts using the `--source` flag to compile the dart registrant.
* updated general.shard tests
* Fixed the resident compiler flow
* added integration test
* made the integration test self contained
* renamed generated_main to dart_plugin_registrant
* cleaned up for review
* added task runner for ci
* added bringup and TESTOWNERS
* updated failure message
* Don't generate plugin registry in ResidentWebRunner
generateDartPluginRegistry was being set to true unconditionally in
ResidentRunner, bypassing the primary check in
DartPluginRegistrantTarget, and the targetPlatform was not set in that
codepath, bypassing the second after the changes in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/87991. This caused web hot
restarts to be slower due to doing unnecessary work.
This ensures that generateDartPluginRegistry is false in the
ResidentWebRunner to skip that unnecessary step.

Building an application for a desktop platform that transitively included any Dart-based plugins (such as path_provider) broke `flutter test`, because its compilation was overriding the provided main (in this case, the test main) with `generated_main.dart` if it was present. This PR:
- Changes the `flutter test` compilation path to update `generated_main.dart`, so that the tests will work, and will include any registered Dart plugins.
- Makes using `generated_main.dart` during recompile opt-in, to try to reduce the chance of a similar bug happening with other codepaths in the future.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/88794
