Add a buildtools directory and move third_party/ninja to the project root in order to match the expectations of depot_tools (#163890)

The depot_tools Ninja wrapper looks for Ninja at specific paths within
the tree. The use of "name": "." in the engine's .gclient file is not
expected by the depot_tools logic for locating the engine's source
directory.

This PR creates an alternative layout that is supported by depot_tools.
If the project root directory contains a "buildtools" subdirectory, then
depot_tools will look for Ninja at "third_party/ninja" within the root.

This directory is a placeholder intended to make Flutter's source tree match the expectations of [depot_tools](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/depottools/), which is used to build the Flutter engine.
