more on Flutter web indexability (#10550)

Expand on what we're doing about indexability.

One unusual aspect of this change is linking to the test site and
spelling out "Hawaii-themed space stories". This is intentional, and
hopefully, not too disruptive to the message. In order to prove that SEO
works we need an already indexed website to link to the test site so
search engines find it and attempt to index it. I thought sneaking one
such link into a section of our web FAQ that already talks about SEO
would be a safe place for it.

One place I violate the style guide is I use "we" in the text. However,
it seems to be consistent with how the word is used elsewhere on the
site. I'm open to suggestions for how to remove it, if it's important.

That said, as mentioned in the [roadmap][], the Flutter team plans to
investigate search engine indexability of Flutter web. To that end, we built a
small website containing [Hawaii-themed space stories][space_hawaii], hoping
that search engines find and index this site.
