Add scene plugin lifecycle events (#175866)
This PR forwards scene lifecycle events from the SceneDelegate to
registered plugins.

This PR introduced 3 new public APIs:
* `FlutterSceneLifeCycleDelegate` (protocol) - This is the protocol that
plugins conform to
* `FlutterSceneLifeCycleProvider` (protocol) - This is the protocol that
a SceneDelegate can conform to instead of `FlutterSceneDelegate`
* `FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate` (interface) - This is the class
object that a SceneDelegate using `FlutterSceneLifeCycleProvider` can
use to forward scene events to

The flow of events are as followed when SceneDelegate subclasses the
`FlutterSceneDelegate`:
* `FlutterSceneDelegate` receives `sceneDidBecomeActive` event from
UIKit
* `FlutterSceneDelegate` forwards `sceneDidBecomeActive` to
`FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate`
* `FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate` loops through each
`FlutterEngine` it has and forwards `sceneDidBecomeActive` to the
engine's `FlutterEnginePluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate`
* `FlutterEnginePluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate` loops through each plugin
that conforms to `FlutterSceneLifeCycleDelegate` it has and forwards
`sceneDidBecomeActive` to the plugin
* `FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate` forwards `sceneDidBecomeActive`
to `FlutterPluginAppLifeCycleDelegate` using
`sceneDidBecomeActiveFallback`
* `FlutterPluginAppLifeCycleDelegate` loops through all plugins and
calls `applicationDidBecomeActive` if the plugin does not conform to
`FlutterSceneLifeCycleDelegate`
  
When using `FlutterSceneLifeCycleProvider` instead of
`FlutterSceneDelegate`, scene events are manually forwarded to
`FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate` by the iOS developer. For example:

```swift
class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate, FlutterSceneLifeCycleProvider {

  var sceneLifeCycleDelegate: FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate = FlutterPluginSceneLifeCycleDelegate()

  func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
    sceneLifeCycleDelegate.sceneDidBecomeActive(scene)
  }
```

Flutter Engine

Setting up the Engine development environment

See here

gclient bootstrap

Flutter engine uses gclient to manage dependencies.

If you've already cloned the flutter repository:

  1. Copy one of the engine/scripts/*.gclient to the root folder as .gclient:
    1. Googlers: copy rbe.gclient to enable faster builds with RBE
    2. Everyone else: copy standard.gclient
  2. run gclient sync from the root folder
