[H] Move the splitting of licenses to an isolate (#14160)
* Move the splitting of licenses to an isolate

This improves (from horrific to terrible) the performance of the
license screen. It also introduces a feature in the foundation layer
to make using isolates for one-off computations easier.

The real problem that remains with this, though, is that transfering
data between isolates is a stop-the-world operation and can take an
absurd amount of time (far more than a few milliseconds), so we still
skip frames.

More work thus remains to be done.

* - Add profile instrumentation to the isolate compute() method
- Add profile instrumentation to the LicensePage
- Add profile instrumentation to the scheduleTask method
- Make scheduleTask support returning a value
- Make the license page builder logic use scheduled tasks so that it doesn't blow the frame budget
