Implement macOS wide gamut (Display P3) support (#181769)
Adds wide gamut color support to macOS (matching iOS), upgrades the
surface pixel format from 10-bit BGRA10_XR to 16-bit float RGBA16Float
on both iOS and macOS when enabled, and fixes Impeller's blur filter P3
clamping on macOS.

**macOS Wide Gamut Support**
- Added DoesHardwareSupportWideGamut() hardware capability check
(MTLGPUFamilyApple2 or MTLGPUFamilyMac2)
- Wide gamut enabled when both hardware supports it and
FLTEnableWideGamut plist flag is YES
- Dynamic wide gamut switching when windows move between P3 and sRGB
displays
- Added flutter/screenshot method channel on macOS for integration
testing

**RGBA16Float Surface Format (iOS + macOS)**
- macOS IOSurface: kCVPixelFormatType_64RGBAHalf +
MTLPixelFormatRGBA16Float
- iOS CAMetalLayer: MTLPixelFormatRGBA16Float
- Image decoder: always uses kRGBA_F16_SkColorType for all wide gamut
images (previously only transparent images used 16-bit)

**Fix Blur P3 Clamping on macOS**
macOS uses the compositor/embedder path, not GPUSurfaceMetalImpeller, so
UpdateOffscreenLayerPixelFormat was never called. Added the call in
embedder.cc after wrapping the Metal resolve texture.

**Why RGBA16Float over BGRA10_XR?**
BGRA10_XR has only 10 bits per channel — values outside sRGB gamut get
clamped in intermediate render targets (e.g. blur filters). RGBA16Float
has 16 bits per channel with full floating-point range, preventing P3
color clamping in multi-pass rendering.

**Tests**
- 9 new iOS FlutterView unit tests verifying RGBA16Float pixel format
and extended sRGB color space
- Updated macOS FlutterSurfaceManagerTest for RGBA16Float, dynamic
switching, color space, and pixel format verification
- Updated image decoder and Impeller display list tests for
kR16G16B16A16Float
- 11 macOS/iOS integration tests: image, saveLayer, codecImage, none,
blur, drawnImage, container, linearGradient, radialGradient,
conicalGradient, sweepGradient

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

Documentation

For release and other announcements, join the flutter-announce mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.

Terms of service

The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).

About Flutter

We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.

Beautiful user experiences

We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.

Fast results

Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.

Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart programming language, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.

Productive development

Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.

Extensible and open model

Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.

Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
