This PR changes how embedder API's
SendKeyDatasendsui.KeyDatato the framework. This is a reland of #29638, which somehow became empty possibly due to the recent switch frommastertomain.Currently the packet is sent over FFI through a series of
DispatchKeyDatamethods that drill all the way fromWindowtoEmbedderEngine. Not only is it cumbersome, but it also bypasses the existing buffering mechanism, leading to a crash as described in flutter/flutter#89748 (comment).This PR changes the packet to be sent over the existing platform messenger, reusing the entirety of its code path and functionalities while keeping the embedder API unchanged.
This partially fixes flutter/flutter#89748 (comment). Since the buffer size is only 1, if 2 or more events are sent during the restart (which usually means holding multiple keys) the crash will still occur. There's a way to resize the buffer, but I haven't found a way to actually do it yet, and will explore as the next step.
