Deprecate and remove flutter generate functionality #61508
Description
This was an attempt at creating a workflow that better integration code generation into flutter run. Nevertheless, there were a number of failures and issues that were unsolvable:
- Maintaining build_runner integration code was trickier than expected, due to the large API surface
- Surfacing errors in an actionable way was hard when so much of the functionality relied on autogenerated code
- Further complications from null safety means than generate + check-in workflows might be more compelling, due to the need to closely control build_runner versions.
Because of this, we've decided to deprecate and remove the functionality and recommend that users use dart pub run build_runner instead.
