An activity can use ViewFactory.retainNativeFlutterView to reuse a
FlutterNativeView across multiple instances of the activity. In this
scenario, the FlutterNativeView should continue to handle incoming messages
sent from Dart.
If an app is using retainFlutterNativeView or a plugin wants to keep the
FlutterNativeView active, then the FlutterNativeView should not drop its
handle to the corresponding native platform view.

* Flush all embedded Android view on hot restart.
Adds an OnEngineRestarted method to PlatformView, this is currently only
implemented for Android where we need to use it for embedded views.
* review comments followup
* rename to OnPreEngineRestart, call before Clone
To keep the scope of this CL as small of possible I'm leaving the actual
implementation of the platform view mechanics to a following CL.
This CL introduces:
* A PlatformViewsController class which will be responsible for creating,
resizing, and disposing platform views.
* A PlatformViewRegistry which is exposed through the PluginRegistry
and allows plugins to register factories for platform views.
Android plugin code will add support for a new platform view type by
implementing PlatformViewFactory, and registering a factory with the
registry, e.g:
```java
registrar.platformViewRegistry().registerViewFactory(
'webview',
new FlutterWebViewFactory()
);
```
On the Dart side, the framework will ask the engine to create new
platform views by sending a create message over the platformviews method
channel with the unique platform view type id, dimensions, and a unique
id allocated by the framework for the new platform view instance.
The platformviews method channel is also used for resizing and disposing
platform views.
This allows applications to start a Flutter engine instance during app startup
and keep it running throughout the app process' lifetime.
FlutterActivity subclasses can override createFlutterNativeView to provide a
preinitialized FlutterNativeView instance and override retainFlutterNativeView
to signal that the FlutterNativeView should be kept alive when the activity
is destroyed.
* This adds rpc call to simply set asset path.
This is needed when doing hot reload to pick up updated assets.
* Move asset_directory fetch for after view_id. Clean up return. Fix formatting.
* Add SetAssetBundlePath methods implementations for mac and ios
* Fix mac mm
* Fix formatting
* Merge and use nullptr
