analyzer: Convert Flutter (utilities) into a static class.

This was a utility class with absolutely zero state. It almost protected
against unnecessary instantiation by providing a static `instance`
member, but the constructor was still public. Also, the instance was
passed around various objects as an instance field, even allowing for
the static instance to be nullable in a few cases. All of this can be
prevented by making the class `abstract final`, with all of its members
static.

(An argument can be made that all of the code in here could be made
top-level functions, but I'll leave that for a later refactoring, if it
is desired. Also the functions could be made into extension methods, but
many of them rely on promotion of a parameter, so until we get `this`
promotion in extensions, I won't advocate for that change.)

The main reason I was looking at this was to get Flutter out of `_AbstractCorrectionProducer`, so that we don't have to drag the flutter utils into analyzer_plugin (we still can if we want to, but we won't _have_ to).

I also modernized the code, following Effective Dart:

* https://dart.dev/effective-dart/documentation#do-separate-the-first-sentence-of-a-doc-comment-into-its-own-paragraph

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
