Switches Windows to OpenGLESSDF#187877

Code Review
This pull request adds a new Windows Devicelab task to test Impeller on Windows, registers it in CI, and updates the Windows engine to automatically enable signed distance fields (SDFs) when Impeller is active. The review feedback suggests improving the robustness of the C++ command-line switch detection, and enhancing the Dart test script by draining and logging stderr, handling unexpected process exits immediately, and properly cleaning up subscriptions.

Using std::find with exact matches for --impeller-use-sdfs=true and --impeller-use-sdfs=false is fragile because it won't match other variations (e.g., --impeller-use-sdfs without a value, or other spacing/formats). We can make this more robust by checking if any switch starts with --impeller-use-sdfs using std::any_of.
if (enable_impeller_) {
bool has_sdf_switch = std::any_of(
switches.begin(), switches.end(), [](const std::string& arg) {
return arg.find("--impeller-use-sdfs") == 0;
});
if (!has_sdf_switch) {
switches.push_back("--impeller-use-sdfs=true");
}

It is important to listen to and drain process.stderr as well. If the process writes a significant amount of data to stderr and it is not drained, the process can deadlock/hang. Additionally, printing stderr helps with debugging when the process fails.

If the process exits unexpectedly or crashes early, completer.future will never complete, causing the test to wait for the full 2-minute timeout before failing. We can avoid this unnecessary delay by including process.exitCode in the Future.any call so that the test fails immediately if the process exits.

| completer.future, | |
