[Tooling] Add google owned cache for dependencies as an option in ci

+# Gradle Structure
+
+`package/example/android/settings.gradle` imports the flutter tooling, includes the app directory, and configures GoogleCloudPlatform/artifact-registry-maven-tools for use in ci.
+
+This repo has a GCP instance that mirrors dependencies available from `google()` and `mavenCentral()` used by ci (or googlers). This gives us redundant uptime for dependency availability.
+
+Using this cache is not intended or avaiable for contributors outside of CI. We protect that execution with an environment variable `ARTIFACT_HUB_REPOSITORY` to ensure that by default users do not see rejected cloud credentials or errors in builds.
+
+Googlers can debug locally by setting `ARTIFACT_HUB_REPOSITORY` to the valid artifact hub value and authenticating with GCP. To authenticate run `gcloud auth application-default login`. To find artifact hub url use `<url>` section of go/artifact-hub#maven or inspect the value on CI servers. CI uses a service account for billing. That is defined in go/artifact-hub-service-account (googler access only).
