Add structured warning event for slow wireless debugging on iOS 26+ d… (#176673)

This PR improves the developer experience when running or debugging
Flutter apps on iOS 26+ devices connected via WiFi. The tool now emits a
structured `app.warning` event (in addition to a console warning) when
it detects wireless debugging on iOS 26 or later. This allows IDEs and
other tools using `--machine` mode to display a prominent warning to
users, encouraging them to use a wired (USB) connection for better
performance.

## Details

- Detects when an iOS device is:
  - Running iOS 26 or later,
  - Connected wirelessly,
  - Debugging is enabled.
- Emits a human-readable warning to the console.
- Emits a structured `app.warning` event with relevant metadata
(category, deviceId, iosVersion, suggestion, etc.) for IDEs and tools
using `--machine` mode.
- No changes to existing workflows for users not matching these
conditions.

This is sent when output is logged for a running application. The `params` field will be a map with the fields `appId` and `log`. The `log` field is a string with the output text. If the output indicates an error, an `error` boolean field will be present, and set to `true`.
#### app.warning
This is sent when a warning is issued for a running application that an editor may wish to handle specifically. The `params` field will be a map with the following fields:
- `warningId`: A unique string identifying the warning type, suitable for client-side suppression.
- `warning`: A string containing the warning message to be displayed to the user.
- `category`: A string used to categorize the warning (for example, `ios-wireless-performance`).
- `deviceId`: The ID of the device this warning is relevant to.
- `deviceOsVersion`: An optional string representing the OS version of the device.
- `actionable`: A boolean indicating if the warning includes a suggested action for the user.
- `url`: An optional string containing a URL with more information about the warning.
#### app.progress
This is sent when an operation starts and again when it stops. When an operation starts, the event contains the fields `id`, an opaque identifier, and `message` containing text describing the operation. When that same operation ends, the event contains the same `id` field value as when the operation started, along with a `finished` bool field with the value true, but no `message` field.
