[reland] Unify canvas creation and Surface code in Skwasm and CanvasKit (#179473)
This PR introduces a significant refactoring of the web engine's
rendering layer by unifying the Surface and Rasterizer implementations.
These components have been moved from being renderer-specific to a
generic compositing directory, making the architecture more modular and
easier to maintain. The rasterizers are now renderer-agnostic and are
provided with renderer-specific surface factories via dependency
injection. A new CanvasProvider abstraction has also been introduced to
manage the lifecycle of the underlying canvas elements.

A key outcome of this work is that the Skwasm backend now correctly
handles WebGL context loss events. This was achieved by refactoring
SkwasmSurface to allow the Dart side to manage the OffscreenCanvas
lifecycle. A communication channel between the main thread and the web
worker is now used to gracefully handle context loss and recovery. This
effort also included fixing several related bugs around surface sizing,
resource cleanup, and callback handling in multi-surface scenarios.

To validate these changes, new testing APIs have been added to allow for
the creation of renderer-agnostic surface tests. A new test file,
surface_context_lost_test.dart, has been added to verify the context
loss and recovery behavior across all supported renderers, ensuring the
new architecture is robust and reliable.
