[flutter_tools] Prevent deletion of shared native asset hooks outputs as stale (#191272)

When switching branches or build configurations where native assets
hooks are not used, the build system's stale-output cleanup was deleting
shared hook outputs located in `.dart_tool/hooks_runner/shared/`. This
caused subsequent builds that *do* use native assets hooks to fail
because the hook runner skipped execution (since metadata was
up-to-date) while the actual binary files on disk had been deleted.

This change introduces a helper function `_deleteStaleOutputs` to
preserve files in `.dart_tool/hooks_runner/shared/` during stale output
cleanup in both `FlutterBuildSystem.trackSharedBuildDirectory` and
`_BuildInstance._invokeInternal`.

Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/191020
