Reduce Liquid logic on china community page

[parlough]

This PR keeps the contents of the page mostly the same but reduces the use of complicated Liquid templating and includes. This does result in a little bit more duplication, but will be easier to maintain and keep compatible with future site infrastructure.

Summary of Changes

Hello @parlough, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the Using Flutter in China community page by significantly reducing its reliance on complex Liquid templating and includes. The core content and instructions remain largely the same, but the implementation shifts from dynamic generation to more explicit, inlined content for each operating system. This strategic change prioritizes long-term maintainability and compatibility with evolving site infrastructure over highly abstracted templating.

Highlights

• Simplified Liquid Logic: The pull request replaces complex Liquid includes and dynamic content generation with inlined, explicit content for each operating system, reducing the reliance on intricate templating.
• Improved Maintainability: While introducing some content duplication, this change is designed to make the 'Using Flutter in China' page easier to maintain and more compatible with future site infrastructure.
• Removed Dynamic Includes: Three Liquid include files (download-urls.md, os-settings.md, pub-settings.md) have been removed, with their functionality integrated directly into the main index.md file.
• Explicit Platform Instructions: Detailed setup, download URL examples, and pub.dev access instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux are now explicitly defined within index.md, eliminating the need for dynamic generation.

Code Review

This pull request simplifies the China community page by removing complex Liquid templating in favor of duplicated but more maintainable hardcoded content. The changes are well-aligned with the stated goal. I've found some minor formatting issues in the new markdown content that would lead to incorrect rendering of ordered lists. My review comments provide details on how to fix them. Overall, this is a good improvement for maintainability.
