For Flutter users on iOS, this fixes a case where images can fail to load and present themselves as magenta boxes when the Flutter app is created in the background state (example: responding to notifications).
### Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

Fixes a memory leak in the Impeller Vulkan back end.
### Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)
The memory usage of apps using Impeller/Vulkan will increase as frames are rendered. Memory consumption will grow until the Android activity enters the stopped state.
### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?
Disabling Impeller
### Risk:
What is the risk level of this cherry-pick?
- [ x ] Medium
### Test Coverage:
Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?
- [ x ] Yes
### Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?
Start an app using Impeller/Vulkan that renders frames nonstop (for example, video playback). Leave it running for several minutes. Check memory metrics with a tool like `adb shell dumpsys meminfo` and verify that memory usage is stable.

### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?
No.
### Risk:
What is the risk level of this cherry-pick?
### Test Coverage:
Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?
pixel diffing is difficult to do without being flakey, video rendering pixel diffing is even harder. Was tested manually in the initial pr.
### Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?
Using a device that utilizes Vulkan rendering, start the video_player example app, press play on the video, then scroll up or down - the visual flickering should be evident.

### Changelog Description:
* [flutter/166905](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/166905) Fixes a performance regression in skwasm when running in single-threaded mode.
### Impact Description:
This fixes a significant regression in the skwasm renderer when running single-thraaded (i.e. in a non-`crossOriginIsolated` browsing context)
### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?
The only workaround is to run skwasm in a multi-threaded context or to disable skwasm.
### Risk:
What is the risk level of this cherry-pick?
- [ x ] Low
This essentially returns the single-threaded renderer to the previous message passing strategy.
### Test Coverage:
Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?
- [ x ] Yes
### Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?
Built the Wonderous app and take a Chrome profile.
Grouping allows us to avoid running the setup function when the tests
are skipped, and the setup function is where it was actually stalling.
Skipping as a group seems to avoid this problem.
We can turn `bringup: true` off of the web unit tests now.
Now that Impeller performs high fidelity tessellation of Conic curves we
will no longer convert Flutter app's conic curves into approximated
quadratic curves.
