    Reland "Native assets support for Linux" (#135097) · 2def9519
    Daco Harkes authored
    Reland of #134031. (Reverted in #135069.) Contains the fix for b/301051367 together with cl/567233346.
    
    Support for FFI calls with `@Native external` functions through Native assets on Linux. This enables bundling native code without any build-system boilerplate code.
    
    For more info see:

    ### Implementation details for Linux.
    
    Mainly follows the design of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/130494.
    
    Some differences are:
    
    * Linux does not support cross compiling or compiling for multiple architectures, so this has not been implemented.
    * Linux has no add2app.
    
    The assets copying is done in the install-phase of the CMake build of a flutter app.
    CMake requires the native assets folder to exist, so we create it also when the feature is disabled or there are no assets.
    
    ### Tests
    
    This PR adds new tests to cover the various use cases.
    
    * packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/linux/native_assets_test.dart
      * Unit tests the Linux-specific part of building native assets.
    
    It also extends various existing tests:
    
    * packages/flutter_tools/test/integration.shard/native_assets_test.dart
      * Runs (incl hot reload/hot restart), builds, builds frameworks for Linux and flutter-tester.
