Remove deprecated AVFoundation camera APIs, replace with iOS 17+ API videoRotationAngle. This will allow us to check for deprecations higher than iOS 17 in CI, like #9431.

Migrate CameraSetDeviceOrientationTests to Swift Testing while we're at it to take advantage of parameterization.

I tested this manually and orientation worked as expected. I would upload a video but it seems camera capture doesn't work when connected through a DeviceHub session (presumably a privacy protection) and QuickTime stopped the recording whenever there was an orientation change, so you'll have to trust me it worked manually.

Fixes flutter/flutter#170438

Code Review

This pull request replaces the deprecated videoOrientation property with videoRotationAngle on iOS 17 and later in the camera_avfoundation package. This includes updates to the CaptureConnection protocol, the DefaultCamera implementation, and the migration of the device orientation tests from XCTest to the Swift Testing library. Feedback is provided regarding the mock implementation of videoRotationAngle in MockCaptureConnection.swift, where a hardcoded getter returning 90 could cause issues in tests that read back the set value; using a stored property with a didSet observer is recommended instead.
