Use references for C++ MethodResult and EventSink (#20651)
The response APIs for method channels and event channels used pointers
for optional parameters; this kept the API surface simple, but meant
that they couldn't take rvalues. As a result, returning success values
or error details often took an extra line, declaring a variable for the
result just to have something to pass the address of.

This converts them to using references, with function overloading to
allow for optional parameters, so that values can be inlined.

For now the pointer versions are still present, so that conversion can
be done before it becomes a breaking change; they will be removed soon.

This code is intended to be built into plugins and applications to provide
higher-level, C++ abstractions for interacting with the Flutter library.

Over time, the goal is to move more of this code into the library in a way that
provides a usable ABI (e.g., does not use standard library in the interfaces).

Note that this wrapper is still in early stages. Expect significant churn in
both the APIs and the structure of the wrapper (e.g., the exact set of files
that need to be built).
