[ Tool ] Enable omit_obvious_*_types and specify_nonobvious_*_types lints (#172018)
Sources under `packages/flutter_tools/` aren't accessible to the average
Flutter user by navigating through sources from their projects, so it
doesn't need to be as explicitly verbose with types for readability
purposes. The `always_specify_types` lint results in extremely verbose
code within the tool which adds little value.

This change disables `always_specify_types` in favor of a new set of
lints that aim to reduce verbosity by removing obvious types while also
maintaining readability in cases where variable types otherwise wouldn't
be obvious:

  - `omit_obvious_local_variable_types`
  - `omit_obvious_property_types`
  - `specify_nonobvious_local_variable_types`
  - `specify_nonobvious_property_types`

Flutter reports data to two separate systems:

  1. Anonymous usage statistics are reported to Google Analytics (for statistics such as the number of times the flutter tool was run within a given time period). The code that manages this is in [usage.dart].
  2. Crash reports for the flutter tool. These are not reports of when Flutter applications crash, but rather when the command-line flutter tool 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.
