[native assets] Roll dependencies (#160672)
This PR rolls in a number of breaking changes from dart-lang/native:

* `BuildMode` is no longer part of the protocol, so Flutter no longer
passes it in.
* This means all code dealing with the name conflict between
`native_assets_cli.BuildMode` and `flutter_tools.BuildMode` has been
cleaned up.
  * Also, the logs no longer mention the build mode.
* The tests still exercise both modes, because linking only happens in
release mode.
* `OS` is no longer part of the main protocol, but of the "code"
"protocol extension".
* The code now aligns more with `OS?` being nullable in a bunch of
places, since it is nullable if there's no code assets.
* The OS-specific config is nested in an object per OS.
* `CCompilerConfig`s fields are non-nullable now.
* So instead of passing an object with nullable fields around, a null
instead of the object is returned in various places.
* `FileSystem` is now passed in to the native assets builder.

This PR contains no feature changes.

This PR will need to be followed up by restricting what environment
variables are passed in (similar to
https://github.com/dart-lang/native/pull/1764), I will do this in a
follow up PR.

Tests:

* All existing features should be covered by existing tests.

Native assets support for MacOS and iOS (#130494)
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.

For more info see:

* https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/129757

### 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.
