iOS: Refactor ShellTestPlatformViewMetal (#56370) Migrates DarwinContextMetal to a plain C struct, eliminating the need for constructor, getters, etc. since it's only used in this translation unit. The fields themselves cannot be inlined as fields on ShellTestPlatformViewMetal because the header in which that class is defined is included in plain C++ (non-Obj-C++) translation units and therefore cannot contain Obj-C types. This simplifies the code and simultaneously fixes complicated ARC behaviour in which the const "DarwinContextMetal::context()" getter caused retainCount to be incremented on the underlying context_ pointer, but not decremented even if never unassigned. In particular the line ```objc FML_CHECK([metal_context->context() mainContext])); ``` appeared to cause refcount to be incremented but never decremented. Regardless of the ARC issue, this significantly simplifies the code. This also eliminates the last remaining use of fml::scoped_nsobject in Flutter's codebase. That class will be removed in a followup PR. No test changes since there is no change to semantics.

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
