GoldenTestManager had an option to choose between an impeller_ and a bare golden name prefix based on the FLTEnableImpeller key in the app's Info.plist, and the app had an Info_Skia.plist that set this to false.

Both of those have been dead code since 2025-02-25 when we stopped reading FLTEnableImpeller in #163808, which switched iOS to the slimpeller variant, and no build configuration ever pointed INFOPLIST_FILE at Info_Skia.plist. It it was only listed in the project navigator for manual use. The only remaining reader of that flag in the tree is the macOS embedder.

This removes the branch, both Info_Skia.plist files, and the now-dead FLTEnableImpeller key from the Scenarios app.

We keep the impeller_ tag on the goldens even though it's redundant, since that involves touching a bunch of PNGs. If we ever need to do that, we can do it separately.

No test changes, or all test changes depending how you look at it, but either way this is dead code removal.

`GoldenTestManager` had an option to choose between an `impeller_` and a
bare golden name prefix based on the `FLTEnableImpeller` key in the
app's Info.plist, and the app had an `Info_Skia.plist` that set this to
false.

Both of those have been dead code since 2025-02-25 when we stopped
reading `FLTEnableImpeller` in flutter#163808, which switched iOS to the

`INFOPLIST_FILE` at `Info_Skia.plist`. It it was only listed in the

Code Review

This pull request removes the Skia-specific configuration files and the FLTEnableImpeller plist keys from the iOS scenario app, simplifying the golden image test manager to assume Impeller is always enabled. I have no feedback to provide.
