[flutter_tools] Fix legacy version file not being ensured (#133097)
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/133093 When I introduced the new, more robust version file `//flutter/bin/cache/version.json` in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/124558, I changed `class FlutterVersion` into an abstract interface, implemented by `_FlutterVersionFromGit` (which is essentially the previous behavior) and `_FlutterVersionFromFile`, which merely reads the data it would have computed via git from `//flutter/bin/cache/version.json`. While doing this, I made `_FlutterVersionFromGit.ensureVersionFile()` to be a no-op, since I assumed this would not be necessary since we already had a version file in the cache. However, this method was what was previously responsible for ensuring `//flutter/version` existed on disk. This means that if, for whatever reason, the user had `//flutter/bin/cache/flutter.version.json` present but NOT `//flutter/version`, the tool would have never created that file, and they would hit the tool crash seen in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/133093. This fixes the tool by ensuring `//flutter/version` exists regardless of if we're hydrating `FlutterVersion` from `//flutter/bin/cache/flutter.version.json` or not.
