🚀 [flutterfire] Consider converting firebase-core-shared into a Flutter plugin instead of a remote Swift Package

[vashworth]

What feature would you like to see?

Firebase plugins can be slow to download and take a lot of space due to remote SwiftPM dependencies.

Currently, all of the firebase plugins have a SwiftPM dependency on firebase-core-shared. This increases download time and takes ~130MB of space.

Instead of having firebase-core-shared be a remote SwiftPM dependency, could it be a Flutter plugin dependency instead?

Here's an example:
