[macOS] support secure restorable state by default (#151605)
By default, Flutter apps only do default AppKit app serialisation of
Window location etc. and by default, state serialisation in AppKit apps
is compatible with `NSSecureCoding`. AppKit apps generated since Xcode
13.2 include this method in the app delegate generated by the default
app template.

Background
==========

This method was added to opt into having [de]serialization require a
coder implementing the `NSSecureCoding` protocol. Apple wasn't able to
force this across the board, because `NSSecureCoding` limits certain
behaviours during deserialisation, which some third-party apps have have
previously relied on.

Specific background on the sorts of vulnerabilities that
`NSSecureCoding` was designed to prevent are described in the
`NSSecureCoding` documentation:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nssecurecoding?language=objc

A demonstration of a root privilege escalation and SIP bypass
vulnerability is described in the following blog post:

This directory contains tools and resources that the Flutter team uses during the development of the framework. The tools in this directory should not be necessary for developing Flutter applications, though of course, they may be interesting if you are curious.

The tests in this directory are run in the framework_tests_misc-* shards.
