Original PR description below

------

This makes various Flutter version information available at runtime.
It's basically the same as executing `flutter --version`. This is
especially useful for tools like Crashlytics or Sentry (see for example
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dart/issues/416).

Usage example:
```dart
FlutterVersion.version;           // 3.16.5
FlutterVersion.channel;           // stable
FlutterVersion.gitUrl;            // https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
FlutterVersion.frameworkRevision; // 78666c8dc5
FlutterVersion.engineRevision;    // 3f3e560236
FlutterVersion.dartVersion;       // 3.2.3
```

This approach has prior art as seen in #134179.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/61814
