Adam Duskett 827da2242c package/flutter-engine: new package
There are many issues with this package:

- The release tarballs from https://github.com/flutter/engine are in no state
  to compile. They are only for the use of gclient to download a source
  directory structure suitable to build the Flutter engine! If you download,
  extract and attempt to run `./tools/gn --no-goma --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk`, you
  receive the error message:
  `No such file or directory: 'flutter/flutter/third_party/gn/gn.'

  But wait! Wasn't the gn binary just called? No, that's a wrapper in the
  Flutter source tree that formats arguments to call the real gn binary.
  The real gn is not provided in the tarball but is downloaded via gclient
  (among many other supporting repositories.)

  Even worse, the flutter buildsystem depends on the .git dirs being present.
  (https://github.com/meta-flutter/meta-flutter/issues/271) This dependency
  means it is not possible to create a reproducible tarball from the downloaded
  sources, which is why there is no .hash file provided.

  I have asked the flutter project to release full tarballs suitable for
  compiling here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/130734

- Flutter engine includes a patched copy of clang that must be used to compile.
  Using a Buildroot-build clang results in linking warning and errors.
  As such, we depend on LLVM_ARCH_SUPPORTS but use the included clang for
  building. On the plus side, this saves time having to compile clang.

- flutter-engine relies on the "PUB_CACHE", that is provided by flutter-sdk,
  so we need a build dependency, even if no tool from host-flutter-sdk-bin
  is used to build flutter-engine

Tested with:
  - Debian 11 and 12
  - Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04
  - Fedora 38
  - Per-package directories

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
  - search gclient.py from PATH
  - indent shell script with 4 spaces
  - reorganise schell script with prepare/cleanup
  - tweak comment about weirdness of flutter buildsystem
  - use suitable-extactor and TAR_OPTIONS
  - use FLUTTER_SDK_BIN_PUB_CACHE
  - add dependency to host-futter-sdk-bin (Adam)

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user
experience 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.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting
Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core
libraries, including animation and graphics, file and
network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture,
and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers
will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework,
which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich
set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
