Clean up the examples readme (#22419)

A few changes:

* Remove the search tip (it relies on searching for the new keyword which we no longer use)
* Remove mentioning of examples that are either stale or only used for internal purposes (such as test)
* Cross-link to the samples repo

Flutter Examples
================
This directory contains several examples of using Flutter. Each of these is an
individual Dart application package.
This directory contains several examples of using Flutter. To run an example,
use `flutter run` inside that example's directory. See the [getting started
guide](https://flutter.io/getting-started/) to install the `flutter` tool.

**Tip:** To see examples of how to use a specific Flutter framework class,
copy and paste a URL with this format in your browser. Replace `foo` with the
classname you are searching for (for example, here's the
[query](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/search?q=path%3Aexamples+new+AppBar)
for examples of the
[`AppBar`](https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/material/AppBar-class.html) class).

```
For additional samples, see the
[`flutter/samples`](https://github.com/flutter/samples) repo.
Available examples include:
- **Hello, world** The [hello world app](hello_world) is a basic app that shows
the text "hello, world."
- **Hello, world** The [hello world app](hello_world) is a minimal Flutter app
that shows the text "hello, world."
- **Flutter gallery** The [flutter gallery app](flutter_gallery) showcases
Flutter's widgets, including its implementation of
[material design](https://material.google.com/).
- **Platform Channel** The [platform channel app](platform_channel)
demonstrates how to connect a Flutter app to platform-specific APIs. For
documentation, see <https://flutter.io/platform-channels/>.

- **Platform Channel Swift** The [platform channel swift app](platform_channel_swift)
is the same as [platform channel](platform_channel) but the iOS version is in
Swift and there is no Android version.
- **Layers** The [layers vignettes](layers) show how to use the various layers
in the Flutter framework. For details, see the [layers
README](layers/README.md).
- **Flutter View** The [flutter view app](flutter_view) demonstrates how to
embed Flutter within an iOS or Android app.

- **Stocks** The [stocks](stocks) demo shows how one might structure
an application with several screens.
## Notes
Note on Gradle wrapper files in `.gitignore`:
Gradle wrapper files should normally be checked into source control.
The example projects don't do that to avoid having several copies of the
wrapper binary in the Flutter repo. Instead, the Gradle wrapper is
injected by Flutter tooling, and the wrapper files are .gitignore'd to
avoid making the Flutter repository dirty as a side effect of running
the examples.
