This removes an implicit coupling on core Skia and PNG encoders/decoders. While flutter uses SkPictures, I don't believe it ever serializes them (which would invoke the legacy code) so we
should be good to disable that (unused by Flutter) legacy path.

Code Review

This pull request disables legacy PNG encoding and decoding features in Skia by adding two new build flags. This is a good change to remove unused code and dependencies. My review includes a suggestion to add a comment explaining the purpose of these new flags to improve code maintainability.
