This is a non-breaking addition to the stable Flutter Embedder API and exposes a
subset of the functionality provided by Dart_PostCObject API in a stable and
tested manner to custom embedder implementations.
Send port acquisition can currently be done as described in the unit-test but
there may be opportunities to extend this API in the future to access ports more
easily or create ports from the native side.
The following capabilities of the the Dart_PostCObject API are explicitly NOT
exposed:
* Object arrays: This allows callers to create complex object graphs but only
using the primitives specified in the native API. I could find no current use
case for this and would have made the implementation a lot more complex. This
is something we can add in the future if necessary however.
* Capabilities and ports: Again no use cases and I honestly I didn’t understand
how to use capabilities. If needed, these can be added at a later point by
appending to the union.

* Revert "Add flow test fixtures and tests (#13986)"
This reverts commit 620f5281b8.
* Revert "Dynamically determine whether to use offscreen surface based on need (#13976)"
This reverts commit a86ef94656.
This is a duplicate of flutter/engine#13360 with the test switched to use the software backend instead of the GL backend.
After some debugging and testing on another GL embedder I think the issue with the test is some bug having to do with the GL implementation in the test harness specifically.

The earlier assumption was that the render target would be re-materialized per frame. The render target needs its own picture recorder to be create per frame as well. When render targets are cached in the registry, an existing target will be reused. But submitting the previous frame would have discarded the recorder already. The layer tree paint would then attempt to dererence a null canvas causing a crash at runtime.
Added tests to ensure that this does not happen both with and without a custom compositor specified by the embedder. I am going to rework this code so that the external view embedders thinks of render target access on a per frame basis but that is a larger change. This smaller patchset should unblock broken builds.

Previously the cache was disabled on whether or not PlatformViews were
globally enabled. Instead track their existence in the view hierarchy
and only disable RasterCache if a PlatformView is actually present.
This used to only be handled correctly for non-root layer backing stores. This
was mostly a side effect of the fact that we used recording canvases instead of
rendering directly into the backing store. We now use recording canvases
consistently.

This exposes platform_view_id on the embedder API's FlutterSemanticNode.
In bd0f9085e5 (#8055), platformViewId was
added to SemanticsNode. This field is non-zero when the SemanticsNode
represents a platform view and is typically used by embedders as a means
of identifying locations where a platform view's 'native' accessibility
tree should be injected into the platform-specific accessibility tree
constructed by the embedder.
Due to the intended use of this field, the Flutter framework is meant to
enforce that this node has a child count of zero.
For embedder code that is configured for both AOT and JIT mode Dart execution
based on the Flutter engine being linked to, this runtime check may be used to
appropriately configure the `FlutterProjectArgs`. In JIT mode execution, the
kernel snapshots must be present in the Flutter assets directory specified in
the `FlutterProjectArgs`. For AOT execution, the fields `vm_snapshot_data`,
`vm_snapshot_instructions`, `isolate_snapshot_data` and
`isolate_snapshot_instructions` (along with their size fields) must be specified
in `FlutterProjectArgs`.
