add --buildNumber and --buildName to flutter build like
flutter build apk --buildNumber=42 --buildName=1.0.42

* Plumb a --strong option through to the front end server and the engine
so that we can run flutter apps in preview-dart-2 and strong mode

* - Address analyzer lint issues
*- correctly set up strong mode option in the case of AOT builds

* Add support for NDK discovery and add --prefer-shared-library option

We would like to be able to use native tools (e.g. simpleperf, gdb) with
precompiled flutter apps.  The native tools work much better with *.so
files instead of the custom formats the Dart VM uses by default.

The reason for using blobs / instruction snapshots is that we do not
want to force flutter users to install the Android NDK.

This CL adds a `--prefer-shared-library` flag to e.g. `flutter build
apk` which will use the NDK compiler (if available) to turn the
precompiled app assembly file to an `*.so` file.  If the NDK compiler is
not available it will default to the default behavior.

* Rebase, add test for NDK detection, augment flutter.gradle with @Input for flag

* Use InMemoryFileSystem for test

* Remove unused import

* Address some analyzer warnings

* executable.dart#main() depends on runner.dart#run()
* Refactor code such that non-commands don't depend on commands.

No code was actually changed in this PR - code was merely moved from
point A to point B.

* enable lint prefer_asserts_in_initializer_lists

* enable --assert-initializer

This adds --preview-dart-2 flag that enables use of Dart 2.0 Frontend in Flutter tools.

This reverts commit 8d07d3f6.

Gradle APK builds include engine binaries for all applicable architectures

* add @required when there's an assert not null

* address review comments

* Remove unnecessary Android SDK checks.

* Remove unused accessors, skip replay test.

* Remove legacy .apk build.

Print out an error message telling the user to upgrade the project if
it's not Gradle-based. Removed all the obvious traces of the legacy
build.

Added support for Dart VM kernel snapshots in Gradle builds.

Fixed Android installs to verify that the app is actually installed, and
not just rely on the presence of the .sha1 file.

If a target file is specified on the flutter tools command line, pass it
through to Gradle.

It is still possible to statically specify a target file in the flutter
section of build.gradle, but it is now possible to specify it on the
command line as well. The command line option takes precedence.

Fixes #8175.

* Fix bug parsing Gradle version.

Version from pub_semver requires versions of the format X.Y.Z. Gradle
doesn't follow semantic versioning, though, so version parsing would
fail on versions like '3.2'. Fixed by writing a custom Version class.

Also removed a check for apksigner when building Gradle-based projects.

Fixes #8298

This reverts commit 70d7fe3a.

The Java version missmatch on the bots has been resolved.

Artifacts are now located in a central place.
This will enable us to downlaod artifacts when we need them (instead of
downloading them all upfront).
This also makes replacing sky_snapshot with gen_snapshot easier.

* improve the logger ui a bit for elapsed times

* invert param

* update daemon.dart

* Update gradle example to support x86 in debug mode.

Changed the Flutter Gradle plugin a bit to better fit in with the
Android build.

Fixes #6136
Fixes #6864
Fixes #7539

- [x] Wire up dependency checker and plumb flags down to the right place

Fixes #7014

This removes direct file access from within flutter_tools
in favor of using `package:file` via a `FileSystem` that's
accessed via the `ApplicationContext`.

This lays the groundwork for us to be able to easily swap
out the underlying file system when running Flutter tools,
which will be used to provide a record/replay file system,
analogous to what we have for process invocations.

* Remove the workaround that pinned args to v0.13.6
This reverts most of the changes in commit 6331b6c8
* throw exception if exit code is not an integer
* rework command infrastructure to throw ToolExit when non-zero exitCode
* convert commands to return Future<Null>
* cleanup remaining commands to use throwToolExit for non-zero exit code
* remove isUnusual exception message
* add type annotations for updated args package

* convert pubGet to throw ToolExit on non-zero exit code
* convert commandValidator to throw ToolExit for non-zero exit code
* convert flutter commands to throw ToolExit for non-zero exit code
* use convenience method throwToolExit
* only show "if this problem persists" for unusual exceptions

* make showElapsedTime default to true

* support nested progresses

* improve hot reload message

* rethrow
