Reland "Add feature flags to the framework" (#171545)
This relands https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437. The google3
fixes were landed in: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171547,
https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353,
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171933.

This PR is split into two commits:

1. d6253794e8982348c5c21cb63e8f6bf785664be6, code from
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437 without any changes
2. f35d29e4af630d2d4fdb0cda8686b6ff9f77227a, updates the PR to omit
obvious types.

Original PR description:

## Motivation

We'd like to let users opt-in to experimental features so that they can
give early feedback while we iterate on the feature. For example:

Example feature flags:

1. Android sensitive content:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/158473. When enabled, Flutter
will tell Android when the view contains sensitive content like a
password.
3. Desktop multi-window. When enabled, Flutter will use child windows to
allow things like a context menu to "escape" outside of the current
window.

### Use case

Users will be able to turn on features by:

* **Option 1**: Run `flutter config --enable-my-feature`. This enables
the feature for all projects on the machine
* **Option 2**: Add `enable-my-feature: true` in their `pubspec.yaml`,
under the `flutter` section. This would enable the for a single project
on the machine.

Turning on a feature affects _both_ development-time (`flutter run`) and
deployment-time (`flutter build x`). For example, I can `flutter build
windows` to create an `.exe` with multi-window features enabled.

## How this works

This adds a new
[`runtimeId`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R243-R247)
property to the tool's `Feature` class. If a feature is on and has a
`runtimeId`, its `runtimeId` will be [stamped into the Dart application
as a Dart
define](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-bd662448bdc2e6f50e47cd3b20b22b41a828561bce65cb4d54ea4f5011cc604eR293-R327).
The framework uses this Dart define to [determine which features are
enabled](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45).

### Multi-window example

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697 shows how this new
feature flag system can be used to add a multi-window feature flag:

1. It adds a new [multi-window
feature](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R189-R198)
to the Flutter tool. This can be turned on using `flutter config
--enable-multi-window` or by putting `enable-multi-window: true` in an
app's .pubspec, under the `flutter` section.
2. It adds a new
[`isMultiWindowEnabled`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45R7-R11)
property to the framework.
4. The Material library can use this new property to determine whether
it should create a new window.
[Example](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-2cbc1634ed6b61d61dfa090e7bfbbb7c60b74c8abc3a28df6f79eee691fd1b73).

## Limitations

### Tool and framework only

For now, these feature flags are available only to the Flutter tool and
Flutter framework. The flags are not automatically available to the
embedder or the engine.

For example, embedders need to configure their surfaces differently if
Impeller is enabled. This configuration must happen before the Dart
isolate is launched. As a result, the framework's feature flags is not a
viable solution for this scenario for now. For these kinds of scenarios,
we should continue to use platform-specific configuration like the
`AndroidManifest.xml` or `Info.plist` files.

This is a fixable limitation, we just need to invest in this plumbing :)

### Tree shaking

Feature flags are not designed to help tree shaking. For example, you
cannot conditionally import Dart code depending on the enabled feature
flags. Code that is feature flagged off will still be imported into
user's apps.

[tool] Make google3 have to override feature flags (#171933)
_⚠️ Landing this is blocked until: 1)
https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353 lands and 2) google3 is
updated to add the new feature flag introduced in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171903._

Currently, google3's `Google3Features` extends `FeatureFlags`. As a
result, google3 automatically gets the same feature flag values as in
Flutter.

This makes Flutter's feature flag values abstract, thereby requiring
that google3's `Google3Features` must explicitly set each feature flag's
value.

Discussion that motivated this change:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171797
Internal CL: https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353
Part of: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/167668

## How this works

This adds a new

The framework uses this Dart define to [determine which features are
enabled](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45).

3. The Material library can use this new property to determine whether

Add an initial "Using feature flags" doc for the team. (#170767)
Closes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/170456.

There are still some TODOs I'd like to address, but in follow-up PRs:

- Update the `# Framework` sub-sections after #168437 merges
- Add known limitations (i.e. embedder/engine)
- Add best practices (using a feature flag versus just using a
parameter, named constructor, etc)

 - Deprecated flags
 - Deprecated embedder APIs
 - Outdated documentation
 - Documentation instances where "VM service" should have been used
 - Incorrectly named tests / directories

As a part of this change, `--serve-observatory` is no longer a valid
flag.

Observatory is still available for now via the `_serveObservatory` RPC,
but will be removed in a follow up PR once we've prepared for breakages
in G3.

Work towards https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/50233

Remove flutter engine repo links (#167481)
3 notable places I did not migrate. 

1. engine/src/flutter/docs/Engine-disk-footprint.md treemaps and what
hash is used for what upload.
1. engine/src/flutter/lib/gpu/pubspec.yaml, I didnt want this pr to
update code that could need to be reverted and I didnt know what to do
to test that publishing would not break or cause a downstream breakage.
1. engine/src/flutter/build/zip_bundle.gni I wasnt sure how to test my
changes.

Reviewers: Please let me know if you want a different link or if you
would prefer something unmodified.

Commits: 
- **Replace triage links with equivalents, change pull request to
generic flutter/flutter, replace code search link with equivalent**
- **Change link from flutter/engine to engine folder, modify link text
to team**
- **replace engine repo link with engine folder, replace text repo with
folder**
- **replace engine specific security info with flutter generic**
- **replace engine roller comment with a skia roller equivalent**
- **link to same file in new location**
- **Remove comment that some code lives in flutter/flutter and some in
flutter/engine**
- **Say to bump dart in flutter/flutter without mentioning engine**
- **Replace documentation with new locations**
- **replace code printed comments with new locations**

Partially addresses https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/167478

Migrate in-comment links of the flutter/engine repository to the flutter/flutter repository (#166790)
This PR migrates almost all in-comment links that points to the main
branch of flutter/engine repository to the flutter/flutter repository,
ensuring that such links are always up to date.

I've manually verified that all links are valid. There are a few cases
where the migration is not so trivial and I had to look up for the
updated location or line number, but I'm pretty sure the new value is
correct.

The only place that I don't know how to migrate is two links in
[Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects.md](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/docs/platforms/android/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects.md)
pointing to
`https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/main/shell/platform/android/io/flutter/app/FlutterActivity.java`,
which I guess no longer exists.

There are still many links that point to a specific branch or revision
of the engine repo. I don't think we need to migrate these links, since
they're probably not meant to be kept up to date.

Fix ISSUE_TEMPLATE Ordering: 10 < 9, but 10 > 09 (#166455)
Unfortunately `10_google3_bug.yml` comes before `2_bug.yml`.

This changes the name (slightly) of the issue templates based on the
instructions from GitHub on what to do when you have 10+ issue templates
(as a side-note: I wonder if we need/still use umbrella bugs for the
feature tracker, or two types of performance bugs)

remove last usages of min/compile/target SdkVersion, align sourceCompatibility across repo and update android version documentation (#164198)
Related to #149836
- Remove last usages of minSdkVersion/compileSdkVersion/targetSdkVersion
in favor of minSdk/compileSdk/targetSdk. That do not also use
`flutter.minSdkVersion` etc. (that will happen in another pass)
- Update the files that used "SdkVersion" to use equals for setting new
values. [Not yet landed documentation
change](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/164195/files#diff-ee6ec18be8d752e2696c8ccc8bec2f202dfc29a43b3b4f9d8041aa6bc3e852a1)
- align sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility across repo to use
JavaVersion.* and update android version documentation.

This pr updates `kotlinOptions jvmTarget` documentation but does not fix
all existing usages.

This pr is expected to cause no behavioral changes. 
This pr makes logical sense after
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/164195 but can be landed in any
order.

android_host_app_v2_embedding update dependencies and documentation (#164195)
Related to #149836 

Last of the non api 35 references in flutter/flutter for targetSdk and
compileSdk.
`find . -type f -name "build.gradle" | xargs grep -e "targetSdk" | tr -d
'=' | tr -s ' ' | grep -v flutter\.targetSdkVersion | grep -v
engine/src/flutter/third_party/ | grep -v "targetSdk 35"`
`find . -type f -name "build.gradle" | xargs grep -e "compileSdk" | tr
-d '=' | tr -s ' ' | grep -v flutter\.compileSdkVersion | grep -v
engine/src/flutter/third_party/ | grep -v "compileSdk 35"`

rewrite of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/163622 after this
test was updated to run against a newer version of gradle and agp in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/163849/files#diff-83b6ad7c016bffbb682664eb65c576a7ebf9c312fc60727c0e0e20f5641cbc2aR462

Android-API-And-Related-Versions.md was updated to reflect that after
further investigation that android is using "=" in their documentation
and that the space syntax is discouraged. Equals is setting a property
and space is the equivalent to a function call like `compileSdk(35)` and
assignment is prefered.

The use of equals for proprty assignment also aligns with
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/migrating_from_groovy_to_kotlin_dsl.html#prepare_your_groovy_scripts

"Fix failing checks" wiki page for new contributors (#154629)
Resolves https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/154628

<br>

As a contributor, I would expect resources related to testing to be located in the [/docs/contributing/testing](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/docs/contributing/testing) directory. This PR adds a page to that directory geared toward helping new contributors.

<br>

I've noticed that in `team-framework` triage meetings, comments along the lines of "could you take a look at the failing checks?" are a regular occurrence.

I believe we could save quite a bit of effort by changing this:

> [**Understanding a LUCI build failure**](a5ca16ea94/docs/infra/Understanding-a-LUCI-build-failure.md)

to this:

> [**Flutter wiki – How to fix failing checks**](https://github.com/nate-thegrate/flutter/blob/fix-checks-wiki-page/docs/contributing/testing/Fix-failing-checks.md)

Clarify and cleanup the test-exemption wording in tree-hygiene. (#152402)
Based off a [discussion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/608014603317936148/608018585025118217/1266501306852446421),
but I've also anecdotally had a few people ask this before.

Other than a bit of reformatting, I wanted to clarify that the PR
reviewer should still _agree_ an exemption is needed (i.e. not defer
this responsibility entirely to our small volunteer staff of reviewers),
and that _all_ reviewers should feel empowered to push back, and not
wait for a test exemption reviewer to do it. This [matches the guidance
in the
bot](f1b20b6e4c/app_dart/lib/src/service/config.dart (L253-L255)).

If this change LGTY I can make a [minor change to the Github
bot](f1b20b6e4c/app_dart/lib/src/service/config.dart (L239-L255))
as well.

Update Design-Documents.md (#151472)
Make it more clear that every design doc has a corresponding github tracking issue with appropriate label.

*Replace this paragraph with a description of what this PR is changing or adding, and why. Consider including before/after screenshots.*

*List which issues are fixed by this PR. You must list at least one issue. An issue is not required if the PR fixes something trivial like a typo.*

*If you had to change anything in the [flutter/tests] repo, include a link to the migration guide as per the [breaking change policy].*

Update deprecation policy (#151257)
We are pausing our cadence of removing deprecated API from the framework until we can create a new policy.
The last couple of cycles we noticed customers having more difficult migrations, and it being harder to remove the APIs in the scheduled time period. So we need to reevaluate the policy and update it.

This is the policy working as intended. Signals like flutter/tests provide feedback on how we are affecting users - so that for folks that contributed!
