This change reverts the following previous change:
The depot_tools Ninja wrapper looks for Ninja at specific paths within
the tree. The use of "name": "." in the engine's .gclient file is not
expected by the depot_tools logic for locating the engine's source
directory.

This PR creates an alternative layout that is supported by depot_tools.
If the project root directory contains a "buildtools" subdirectory, then
depot_tools will look for Ninja at "third_party/ninja" within the root.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/163487

Flutter Engine

Setting up the Engine development environment

See here

gclient bootstrap

Flutter engine uses gclient to manage dependencies.

If you've already cloned the flutter repository:

  1. Copy one of the engine/scripts/*.gclient to the root folder as .gclient:
    1. Googlers: copy rbe.gclient to enable faster builds with RBE
    2. Everyone else: copy standard.gclient
  2. run gclient sync from the root folder
