Code Review
This pull request introduces a new rules and best practices document for the Flutter Gradle Plugin, covering configuration cache compatibility, build performance, and lazy configuration. The review feedback suggests expanding the lazy configuration guidelines to include lazy collection properties, adding a rule to use Gradle service injection instead of Project helper methods for configuration cache compliance, and clarifying the syntax and usage of path normalization annotations.

This work came in response to pr #191218 and a conversation with @gmackall about how I did not think the new dsl migration counted as "agentic engineering" because I was not doing the work like we have as part of project one shot in camera_android_camerax. Really the new dsl work is a great opportunity to lay out some of the patterns we have found.
@gmackall to double check the engineering principals and add any others he thinks are important.
@camsim99 to help review agents.md. @camsim99 we have no skills or really much documentation so the agents.md file has more primary logic than I would normally like but I think in this case it is ok.
The purpose is to give agents working on the flutter gradle plugin guidance for what we consider important and how we want to architect work.
There are no evals in flutter/flutter so I have not written any. This is acknowledged technical debt so we can get the benefit of this steering on follow-up new dsl prs (4-11).
I consider this newDsl pr 3.1.
