Targeted suppression of some deprecation warnings that are build errors under
clang:
- Ignore the deprecation of codecvt's unicode conversion until we decide on
a replacement strategy.
- Allow the deprecated posix names of functions in third_party/txt.

This was only necessary when the Engine had to build in multiple buildroots
where the sources where checked out at different paths relative to the
buildroot. This is no longer the case and there are already cases GN rules
have been written that mix and match variable usage with the direct
specification of the path to the Flutter sources relative to the sole buildroot.
embedder.h is a C API, so has no namespace, and only uses 'Flutter' as a
prefix for most symbol names. This creates potential collisions with
other code; for instance, FlutterEngine is the name of a type in
embedder.h, but also an ObjC class in the iOS Flutter API.
This adds a macro that can be set to prefix symbol names, allowing
clients (notably, the macOS embedding) to adjust the names used by the
embedding API internally without breaking ABI or API compatibility for
the standard engine build.
Currently the macro is only applied to FlutterEngine, since that's the
symbol that is currently at issue, but it can be expanded to other
symbols in the future.
Changes include:
- File structure
- Header guards
- Include paths
- Namespaces
- Integration with the engine's GN build
- Conversion from jsoncpp to rapidjson
- Style and clang-format adjustment to match engine repository
