This pull request addresses issue #12645 by enhancing the project's documentation. It introduces a new, detailed glossary entry for the term 'Embedder', providing clarity on its role as the platform-specific component managing the Flutter engine and its interactions with the operating system. This addition aims to improve understanding of Flutter's architecture for developers and readers.

Highlights

  • New Glossary Entry: A new glossary entry for the term "Embedder" has been added to src/data/glossary.yml.
  • Detailed Definition: The "Embedder" entry includes a short description, a comprehensive long description detailing its function, platform-specific implementations, and management of the Flutter engine and OS interactions.
  • Related Resources: Relevant links to the architectural overview and information on Flutter for embedded devices are now included with the "Embedder" definition.

This is a great addition! For improved accuracy and consistency with the 'Flutter architectural overview' page, consider updating the list of languages. The overview page also mentions C++ for Android and Objective-C++ for iOS/macOS. Including them here would make the definition more complete and consistent.
