[wiki migration] Leftover wiki pages and links (#148989)
This is waiting on 
- https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/148777
- https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/148790

After this PR lands, there will likely be 1-2 more clean up PRs, after which the migration will be done!

---

This moves the remaining wiki pages as planned in [flutter.dev/go/migrate-flutter-wiki-spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x65189ZBdNiLRygpUYoU08pwvXD4M-Z157c6pm8deGI/edit?usp=sharing) 

It also adds the team labels to the label bot for future PRs.

Changes to the content were only updating cross links, or links to refer to the main branch rather than master.
Remaining links to the wiki will be updated once all other pages have finished moving, they still work in the meantime.

(This wiki page applies to people migrating code written before December 2017. It is unlikely to still be relevant.)
## Introduction
Prior to [#13492](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/13492) (merged on 2017-12-13), Flutter tooling created projects whose Android part used Gradle 3.3 and the Android Studio Gradle plugin version 2.3.3.
After #13492, Flutter tooling creates projects based on Gradle 4.1 and the Android Studio Gradle plugin version 3.0.1.
This page describes how you can manually upgrade your Flutter projects from the old mode to the new one. This may be needed to consume new-mode Flutter plugins.
Where in doubt, please consult https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html.
## Upgrading a Flutter app project
1. In `android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`, replace `3.3` with `4.1` in the last line.
1. In `android/build.gradle`, replace
```gradle
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
```
by
```gradle
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
```
twice.
Also replace
```gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
}
```
by
```gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
```
Finally, replace
```gradle
subprojects {
project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}
```
by
```gradle
subprojects {
project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}
```
This change prevents a "Gradle build failed to produce an Android package" error message when your app
depends on plugins whose name comes before "app" in lexicographic order.
1. In `android/app/build.gradle`, replace version `25` by `27` and `25.0.3` by `27.0.3` (three places total).
If you are using a version of Flutter from before [#13558](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/13558),
add the following to the `android`,`buildTypes` section:
```yaml
profile {
matchingFallbacks = ['debug', 'release']
}
```
Replace configurations named `compile` by `api` (or `implementation`) and `provided` by
`compileOnly` in the `dependencies` section. You may also want to update dependencies with newer
versions as applicable. In the default project templates generated by Flutter tooling we have replaced
```gradle
dependencies {
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:25.4.0'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5'
}
```
by
```gradle
dependencies {
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}
```
loosely following the lead of Android Studio.
## Upgrading a Flutter plugin project
1. Upgrade the `example/` Flutter app project as indicated above.
1. Remove the Gradle wrapper files and folder (`gradlew`, `gradlew.bat`, `gradle/`) from the top-level
`android` folder, if present. The Gradle wrapper is used by the `example` app only, and it should
already contain these files.
1. In `android/build.gradle`, replace
```gradle
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
```
by
```gradle
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
```
twice.
Also replace
```gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
}
```
by
```gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
```
Replace version `25` by `27` and `25.0.3` by `27.0.3`.
Lastly, replace configurations named `compile` by `api` (or `implementation`) and `provided` by `compileOnly`
in any custom `dependencies` section.
