This adds a sample Flutter project that demonstrates a
soon-to-be-released feature, asset transformation[^1]. [PR for
flutter.dev
documentation](https://github.com/flutter/website/pull/10471).
This feature isn't the easiest to explain using documentation, so I
think augmenting that documentation with a sample is appropriate.
This sample demonstrates 1) how to use an existing Dart package (that is
compatible with the feature) as an asset transformer and 2) how to write
a Dart package that is compatible with this feature. This should be
clear from the README.md.
**Advice for reviewing this PR.** The goal here is that most users that
read the documentation and follow the link from there to this sample
should be able to figure out what the feature does and how to use it.
Try to imagine yourself in this position and follow this story. If the
feature is still unclear, then there is probably something we can do to
improve this sample or the docs. Said more simply, follow these steps:
1) Start at the new section to be added to Flutter.dev
(https://flutter-docs-prod--pr10471-document-asset-transformers-cc21qf01.web.app/ui/assets/assets-and-images#automatic-transformation-of-asset-files-at-build-time).
It should naturally link you to the sample project. Start with the
README and see if things make sense.
