Standard*Codec allows for extensions to support arbitrary types; this
had not previously been implemented for the C++ version.
Overview of changes:
- EncodableValue's std::variant type now allows for a new CustomEncodableValue, which is a thin wrapper around std::any, to store arbitrary extension types.
- ByteBufferStream* has been split into an interface class and the buffer-based implementation, with the former now part of the public API surface to be used in standard codec extensions.
- They also gained utility methods for some common data types to simplify writing extensions.
- StandardCodecSerializer is now part of the public API surface, and is subclassable.
- StandardCodecSerializer's ReadValue has been split into ReadValue and ReadValueOfType to match the structure used when subclassing on the Dart side, for easier porting of custom extensions across languages.
- Standard*Codec now optionally accepts a non-default serializer in GetInstance, providing a shared instance using that serializer.

Instead of a hand-rolled discriminated union (originally used to avoid a C++17
dependency, which is no longer an issue), implement EncodableValue as a
std::variant. Rather than simply changing the internals, this makes EncodableValue
a minimal std::variant subclass with only a handful of added methodS, replacing
the old IsFoo/FooValue APIs with the standard std::holds_alternative/std::get,
so that plugin code will use a standard-based API rather than a Flutter-specific
API for wrapped values.
This is a breaking change for Windows and GLFW plugins. In the short
term USE_LEGACY_ENCODABLE_VALUE can be set in builds to use the old
version, to separate rolling from updating.

Relands #17489 with a fix for the unit test flake.
The previous unit test relied on the new instance not being created at the same memory address, which isn't guaranteed.
Seems to have triggered flaky failures on the Windows bot since landing.
Example failure:
[ RUN ] PluginRegistrarTest.ManagerRemovesOnDestruction
c:\b\s\w\ir\cache\builder\src\flutter\shell\platform\common\cpp\client_wrapper\plugin_registrar_unittests.cc(149): error: Expected: (manager->GetRegistrar<PluginRegistrar>(dummy_registrar_handle)) != (first_wrapper), actual: 000002400A90E3D0 vs 000002400A90E3D0
This reverts commit faf44fed5a5913dcbeebd7ead8e3933a5e72a6fc.
This makes two changes:
- Adds a way to register a callback for when a FlutterDesktopPluginRegistrarRef is destroyed, and implements the logic to call it in the Windows and Linux embeddings.
- Adds a class to the C++ wrapper that handles making a singleton owning PluginRegistrar wrappers, and destroying them when the underlying reference goes away, to avoid needing that boilerplate code in every plugin's source.

Adds StandardMethodCodec support to the C++ client wrapper. This makes it
substantially easier to add Windows and Linux support for existing plugins, as
StandardMethodCodec is the default plugin protocol.
Fixesflutter/flutter#30670
Does not include extensibility for the codec, which will be added later.
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
