[flutter_tools] PathNotFoundException during native assets cleanup #190234
Description
During native assets cleanup in _copyNativeCodeAssetsForOS, the tool iterates over the target directory and deletes files.
If a file (such as a macOS metadata ._* file or a temporary file) is deleted by the OS or another process after being listed but before the tool attempts to delete it, the tool crashes with PathNotFoundException (ENOENT).
We should use ErrorHandlingFileSystem.deleteIfExists to safely handle this race condition.
Note: This issue was identified as a top-10 crasher in the Flutter stable release version 3.44.8.
