fixes flutter/flutter#158399

previously the only correct way to enable semantics is that ios embedding receive signal from native OS, it call SetSemanticsEnabled to shell and then to dart to enable semantics tree generation.

If for some reason framework decide to enable semantics first, e.g. through SemanticsBinding.instance.ensureSemantics(typically due to integration test or ci that wants to test semantics), the update will be dropped in shell. Even if it later on receive signal from native OS to turn on semantics, it can't construct the complete accessibility tree in embedding because the updatesemantics sends diff update and previous updates are gone forever. It will end up in a broken state.

This pr changes so that the only source of truth will be in the framework side. When framework starts generating the the semantics tree, it will send a GenertingSemanticsTreeSemanticsEvent to the embedding, and the embedding needs to prepare itself to accept semantics update after receiving the message.

This however require some refactoring on iOS embedding because it will only start listen to a11y message channel after semantics is enabled. I moved a11y channel listener logic to platform_view_ios instead.

framework change flutter/flutter#159163

I also need to do the Android part

This is fine for now; refactoring this class is on my to do list for a rainy day, but please add a note pointing out this is only for testing so we can clean it up in the refactor.

The sole purpose for this class is to call setSemanticsEnabled when a11y bridge is created. This is not needed even before the change because the a11y bridge will only be created when setSemanticsEnabled is called before the change.

I think this class is obsolete

Can I assume platform_views_controller_ contains the same owner_controller_.platformViewsController. From the code I think yes, but not too sure.

This should be message_to_announce since we're in a C++ method. I'm not in love with it either.

Nothing to do in your patch, but I'm going to take a look at the base class. Really curious why we're handing back a std::unique_ptr<std::vector<std::string>> here rather than just a std::vector<std::string>. I doubt these arrays are ever more than 5-10 entries even in extreme cases.

Similarly, nothing to do here, but we should almost certainly make this a const std::string& or a std::string_view in the base class.

Should these members be private:? If so, move CanUpdateSemantics up, since that almost certainly should be public :)
