Wait 100ms for the frame, then just continue with a warning.
This should not occur, change is to help detect any bugs we might have and stop Flutter apps from potentially locking up.

These views set their size to what the frames provided by Flutter.
Window metrics events are not sent to Flutter.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a timeout when waiting for a correctly sized frame from Flutter, preventing potential deadlocks. This is achieved by modifying fl_task_runner_wait to accept an expiry time and updating the render loops in both OpenGL and software compositors to use this timeout. A warning is logged if the timeout is reached.

Additionally, a new sized_to_content mode is added for FlView, which allows a view's size to be determined by the Flutter content. For such views, the frame waiting logic is skipped.

The changes are well-structured and include corresponding updates to tests. I've found one high-severity issue related to mutex handling and one medium-severity issue regarding code duplication. Please see my detailed comments.
