This PR marks the `--ios-language objc` flag as deprecated for plugin creation. It introduces a warning message in the `flutter create` tool when the flag is used, but **does not** remove the functionality at this time. This is the first step towards its eventual removal. ## Context As discussed in the issue, usage metrics show that Objective-C is used in less than 4% of newly created plugins. To streamline the tool and align with modern iOS development practices (i.e., Swift), we are beginning the process of phasing out this option **Changes:** - Adds a deprecation warning to the CLI when the `objc` flag is used. - Updates the `--help` text to reflect the deprecation. - Removes obsolete tests for Objective-C plugin creation and usage tracking. ## Testing I have validated these changes by: 1. Manually running `flutter-dev create` with the `objc` flag to confirm the new deprecation warning appears. 2. Verifying that creating a plugin without the --ios-language flag does **not** trigger the warning. 3. Running the tests in the `test/commands.shard` to ensure no regressions were introduced. 4. CI will validate the changes to the devicelab tests.

Flutter reports data to two separate systems:
- Anonymous usage statistics are reported to Google Analytics (for statistics
such as the number of times the
fluttertool was run within a given time period). The code that manages this is in [usage.dart]. - Crash reports for the
fluttertool. These are not reports of when Flutter applications crash, but rather when the command-linefluttertool itself crashes. The code that manages this is in [crash_reporting.dart].
Opting out
Users can opt out of all reporting in a single place by running
flutter config --no-analytics.
