Description
The `enable-macos-arm64-only` feature flag should default to `true` in a future version of Flutter.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/291b8308063f2f50b0f470761199c185e82d5431/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/features.dart#L316-L328
We will still allow opting out by disabling the feature flag.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Open packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/features.dart around the enable-macos-arm64-only feature flag and inspect how its default and opt-out behavior are defined. Change the default for macOS builds with Xcode 27+ as requested, preserve disabling through the feature flag, and verify the relevant Flutter tool feature tests or build behavior.
