[flutter_tools] Move plugin validation out of asserts (#191359)

## Description

Platform plugin `fromYaml` factories in `platform_plugins.dart`
(`AndroidPlugin`, `IOSPlugin`, `MacOSPlugin`, `WindowsPlugin`, and
`LinuxPlugin`) previously performed validation inside `assert`
statements. When Flutter tools runs in release mode (assertions
disabled), calling these factories directly could bypass validation and
return invalid plugin instances rather than surfacing a clean tool exit.

This PR:
1. Replaces `assert(validate(yaml))` in all platform plugin `fromYaml`
factories with explicit validation checks that call `throwToolExit`.
2. Includes the plugin name in the exit error message (e.g. `Invalid
"android" plugin specification for plugin "$name".`).
3. Adds automated unit tests in `plugins_test.dart` verifying that
`fromYaml` throws `ToolExit` when passed invalid YAML.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/67241
