iOS: Add test for engineAllowHeadlessExecution (#191635)
`FlutterViewController.engineAllowHeadlessExecution` drives whether an implicitly-created `FlutterEngine` is createed with `allowHeadlessExecution`, which causes the engine to tear down its shell when its view controller deallocs. We didn't previously have any test coverage for this. The property was added in flutter/engine#19458 with the intent of being configured from a XIB, and since it's read-only, Interface Builder's User Defined Runtime Attributes reach it by setting the synthesized ivar through key-value coding. Declaring a getter, or marking it `@dynamic`, would leave storyboards unable to set it, which would break it for end-users. We now check: * that the property can be set via `setValue:forKey:` (check KV support) * that an implicitly-created engine picks it up I added `allowHeadlessExecution` from the extension in FlutterEngine.mm to the FlutterEngine (Test) category so we can check it in tests.
