[ Widget Preview ] Ignore modifications to files in ephemeral directories (#178398)
The `flutter` tool creates various directories for ephemeral state while
executing commands. In some situations, these directories contain or
link to other Dart / Flutter projects with '.dart' sources or
'pubspec.yaml's. If these files change while the widget previewer is
active (e.g., due to a `flutter pub get` downloading and configuring new
plugins for the project), the previewer's directory watcher will detect
the change and attempt to analyze the source. This causes an exception
to be thrown by the analyzer as the modified file path does not have a
valid analysis context.

This change adds additional checks to the `PreviewDetector` that allow
for ignoring changes to `pubspec.yaml`s and `.dart` sources under known
ephemeral directories (e.g., build/,
linux/flutter/ephemeral/, etc), as well as `.dart` files that aren't
associated with an analysis context.
