[webview_flutter] Add new entrypoint that uses hybrid composition on Android

[blasten]

This is a feature request to support hybrid composition. The plan is to add a new Dart entrypoint that doesn't change the public API of the webview plugin, but internally uses this new mode.

Once this is done, we will ask folks to try it out, and we will learn from their experiences.

I hope it works

[aaron-chu]

May I ask when this fix is going to release to the beta or stable channel? I rely on it for solving #41089. Thanks!

[blasten]

@tvolkert this fixes pretty much all keyboard and a11y related issues.

@chinmaygarde Thanks for the reply. Can you please confirm one thing? Will it work on my own webview integration created by platform view? Because we are using a payement gateway which has native sdks and they want native webview to be passed in native code, so cannot pass flutter_webview there. That's why i'm asking this.

Thank you

这是支持混合合成的功能请求。计划是添加一个新的Dart入口点，该入口点不会更改webview插件的公共API，但会在内部使用此新模式。

完成此操作后，我们将要求人们尝试一下，我们将从他们的经验中学习。
