Removes the isAccessibilityEvaluationsEnabled runtime flag and enable-accessibility-evaluations tool feature, as #32057 is already fixed by #181672, it now supports a11y evaluation not only on debug mode.

Code Review

This pull request removes the experimental 'accessibility_evaluations' feature flag and its associated checks, configurations, and tests across the Flutter framework and tools. The feedback suggests following through with the cleanup by refactoring or removing the duplicated '_isImportantForAccessibility' method in 'SemanticsController', which was previously marked for removal once this feature flag was enabled.

medium

The removed comment indicated that _isImportantForAccessibility would be removed once the feature flag is turned on. Since the feature flag is now being removed, we should follow through with this cleanup. If the method is still needed by SemanticsController, consider refactoring it to a shared location (such as a property/helper on SemanticsNode or exporting it from _accessibility_evaluations.dart) to eliminate the duplication and the maintenance hazard mentioned in the remaining TODO.
