This re-lands #20496 and #21780 after fixing the semantics-enabling code that was causing the post-submit web_smoke_test to fail.
Below is the description from the original PR:
This is a PR for converting the dart:ui code in the engine to use a multi-window API. The goal here is to convert from the window singleton to an API that has the concept of multiple windows. Also, I'm matching up the new PlatformDispatcher class to talk directly to the PlatformConfiguration class in the engine. I'm not attempting to actually enable creating multiple windows here, just migrate to an API that has a concept of multiple windows. The multi-window API in this PR currently only ever creates one window.
The design doc for this change is here.
The major changes in this PR:
Move the platfom-specific attributes out of Window, and into the new PlatformDispatcher class that holds all of the platform state, so that the platform code need only update the configuration on this class.
Create FlutterView, FlutterWindow, and SingletonFlutterWindow classes to separate out the concepts of a view (of which there may be multiple in a window), a window (of which there may be multiple on a screen, and they host views), and a window where there is only ever expected to be one (this hosts the entire API of the former Window class, and will eventually be the type of the window singleton).
Next step after this PR lands:
Remove the Window class entirely (it is replaced by SingletonFlutterWindow). Some minor changes in the Framework are needed to switch to using SingletonFlutterWindow directly first.
The Window class still exists in this PR, but will be removed as soon as the framework is converted to point to the SingletonFlutterWindow class instead. They share the same API, just have different names (Window is currently a subclass of SingletonFlutterWindow). The intention is that the Window name will be freed up to use as a widget class name in the framework for managing windows. The singleton called window will remain, and keep the same API it has now.
* Revert "Fix documentation build for window changes. (#21780)"
This reverts commit 931a04683d6eb49fc92059b2384ac5b1618d5422.
* Revert "Migration to PlatformDispatcher and multi-window (#20496)"
This reverts commit 85b0031f73544e448354047dc6a236c0b0808252.

Embedders can now notify shell during startup about the various displays and their corresponding settings.
Adds a notion of Display update type which can later include chages to displays during runtime such as addition / removal / reconfiguration of displays.
We also remove the responsibility of providing the refresh rate from `vsync_waiter` to `DisplayManager`.
Rewires existing platform implementations of the said API to use `Shell::OnDisplayUpdate` to notify the display manager of the startup configuration.
DisplayManager is also thread-safe to account for rasterizer and UI thread accesses.
This patch applies the following changes:
* Rename a stray .cc file to .mm (connection_collection.cc).
* Migrate Objective-C #includes to #import as per the style guide.
* #include/#import order updated to reflect the style guide order:
associated header, system/standard library headers, library headers,
platform-specific includes.
* Include cstring where we're using strlen.
* Add a missing copyright header in SemanticsObjectTest.mm.
