Remove discontinued device_info and connectivity plugins from flutter_gallery, roll pub packages (#150585 )

Removes these two discontinued plugins from `dev/integration_tests/flutter_gallery`

[`device_info`](https://pub.dev/packages/device_info):
Apparently the video playback doesn't work on iOS simulators (I wasn't able to verify this, as I don't have an iOS simulator installed). I removed the guard against running on those simulators, and replaced with a note in the README.

[`connectivity`](https://pub.dev/packages/connectivity):
This plugin was used to play the bee video from the network. I changed the demo so that the bee video is instead also played from an asset (like its friend the butterfly), and then removed the use of the plugin.

Unblocks the re-land of https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/53462 (itself a reland ð), because of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/150465#issuecomment-2181403712.

external_textures

Tests external texture rendering between a native¹ platform and Flutter.

Part of Flutter's API for plugins includes passing external textures, or textures created outside of Flutter, to Flutter, typically using the Texture widget. This is useful for plugins that render video, or for plugins that interact with the camera.

For example:

Because external textures are created outside of Flutter, there is often subtle translation that needs to happen between the native platform and Flutter, which is hard to observe. These integration tests are designed to help catch these subtle translation issues.

How it works

Each lib/*_main.dart file is a Flutter app instrumenting a test case.
There is a corresponding test_driver/*_test.dart that runs assertions.

To run the test cases locally, use flutter drive²:

flutter drive lib/frame_rate_main.dart --driver test_driver/frame_rate_test.dart

Tip

On CI, the test cases are run within our device lab.

See devicelab/lib/tasks/integration_tests.dart and search for createExternalUiFrameRateIntegrationTest.

The actual tests are run by task runners:
