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.
Rolls in several fixes to web tooling, including better handling of absolute file imports. Updates to latest vm service to unblock null safety mode query

For historical reasons, the flutter tool uploads dill files to paths based on the entrypoint URI. This isn't actually necessary, and the tool can use specific files : main.dart.incremental.dill for incremental dills, and main.dart.dill/main.dart.swap.dill for full dills. This allows hot restarting applications with an entrypoint outside of lib/ and simplifies the devFS code.
Fixes#63243
If the vm of an attached device rejects a hot reload, pretty print the reason. Suggest a hot restart so that users are aware that they do not have to detach and rebuild. Also resets the last compilation time, so a subsequent restart would still apply the last change. Adds an integration test for the const field removal.

* Reland "Re-enable the Dart Development Service (DDS) (#64671)"
This reverts commit 2ae25cc2d7.
* Fix MDNS building Observatory URI with port 0 instead of forwarding the device port
* Added MDNS test
This change re-enables DDS and outputs the DDS URI in place of the VM
service URI on the console. If --disable-dds is not provided,
--host-vmservice-port will be used to determine the port for DDS rather
than the host port for the VM service, which will instead be randomly
chosen.
