Reland "[ios][platform_view] Use CAShapeLayer as the mask to avoid so…

…ftware rendering #53072" (#53256)

The previous PR was reverted because it was on top of an outdated commit prior to ARC. This PR rebases the main. The only change is removing the `[super dealloc]` call that caused the compiler error. 

*List which issues are fixed by this PR. You must list at least one issue.*
Fixes flutter/flutter#142813
Fixes flutter/flutter#142830

*If you had to change anything in the [flutter/tests] repo, include a link to the migration guide as per the [breaking change policy].*
