Currently, all our host unit-tests that have rendering concerns use the software backend because of OpenGL ES availability and stability issues on the various platforms where we run host tests. Unfortunately, entire subsystems are disabled (and not tested) when rendering with the software backend. This patch pulls in SwiftShader and via pending patches in the buildroot, configures the host unit-tests to optionally use OpenGL ES in a stable manner without relying on the OpenGL drivers being present (and functional).
I have wired up the embedder test fixture in this patch to use the SwiftShader based OpenGL ES driver. I will update the shell and runtime unittests in a subsequent patch as well. The on and offscreen surfaces are configured as 1x1 pbuffer surface because we should be able to write pixel tests using OpenGL directly wihout having to deal with surfaces.
Currently, all Flutter threads are managed by the engine itself. This works for
all threads except the platform thread. On this thread, the engine cannot see
the underlying event multiplexing mechanism. Using the new task runner
interfaces, the engine can relinquish the task of setting up the event
multiplexing mechanism and instead have the embedder provide one for it during
setup.
This scheme is only wired up for the platform thread. But, the eventual goal
is to expose this message loop interoperability for all threads.
All embedder unit-tests have to setup the Flutter project arguments from scratch
before launching the engine. The boilerplate and having to deal with the low
level C API during each engine launch is a hinderance to writing tests.
This patch introduces an EmbedderTest fixture that sets up all the embedder side snapshots before allowing the unit test to create a FlutterConfigBuilder` that
the test can use to incrementally build and edit the Flutter project
configuration. From the given state state of a configuration, multiple engines
can be launched with their lifecylces managed by appropriate RAII wrappers.
This allows the a fully configured Flutter engine to be launched using 4 lines
of code in a fixture.
```
EmbedderConfigBuilder builder;
builder.SetSoftwareRendererConfig();
builder.SetAssetsPathFromFixture(this);
builder.SetSnapshotsFromFixture(this);
auto engine = builder.LaunchEngine();
```
