Fixes #195627. See the issue for context.

When there is no surface, Rasterizer::GetAiksContext() now tries to get an AiksContext using the snapshot surface producer. This is similar to #194506's fix for Picture.toImage() when there is no surface (here).

Adds tests similar to #194506, but for this issue's Image.toByteData() case.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Rasterizer to safely retrieve an AiksContext when no window surface is present by utilizing the snapshot_surface_producer_ to create a snapshot surface and use its context on OpenGL ES. It also refactors GLES context creation in the unit tests and adds a new regression test (ImageToByteDataWithoutSurfaceOnImpellerGLES and imageToByteDataWithoutSurface) to verify Image.toByteData behavior on raster-owned images when there is no window surface. I have no feedback to provide.

I reused this test file because the new test uses the same setup as the existing SceneToImageWithoutSurfaceOnImpellerGLES test. But the added test is for Image, not Scene, so the filename is kind of misleading. I think I should rename the file to something more generic that fits both of the tests now (impeller_gles_without_surface_unittests.cc?).

I renamed it. I also moved it to ui/, which I'm not sure is a great place for it, but I don't know where else would be better because it now spans both ui/compositing and ui/painting stuff.

lgtm, just a slight renaming request

Can we rename this to ClearCurrentGLContext? Clear is kind of of an overloaded word with opengles

Test-only support for backporting flutter#194506 and flutter#195629 onto
3.47.9: their lib/ui tests depend on the //flutter/impeller/renderer/
backend/gles:mock_gles target (split out upstream in flutter#193306) and on
MockGLESImpl's CreateShader, CreateProgram, GetShaderiv and GetProgramiv,
added upstream after 3.47.9. Copies upstream's definitions; no shipped code
changes.

…xt without a surface (flutter#195629)

Fixes flutter#195627. See the issue
for context.

When there is no surface, `Rasterizer::GetAiksContext()` now tries to
get an AiksContext using the snapshot surface producer. This is similar
to flutter#194506's fix for `Picture.toImage()` when there is no surface
([here](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/194506/changes#diff-5d98a88b599a9d73af3f6acda580a3f03bce1eab9c7abd1f29f425f7279768c0R99-R110)).

Adds tests similar to flutter#194506, but for this issue's `Image.toByteData()`
case.

(cherry picked from commit 1ea585c)

Backport note: ImageToByteDataWithoutSurfaceOnImpellerGLES is dropped on
3.47.9. It guards flutter#195627, a regression from flutter#191747, which
3.47.9 doesn't have: here Image.toByteData doesn't go through
Rasterizer::GetAiksContext, so the test reaches the older encode path and
waits forever for a current context.
