Windows build path changed to add the target architecture

Summary

#

Built executables for Flutter Windows apps are now located in architecture dependent folders.

Context

#

In preparation for supporting Windows on Arm64, the Windows build path was updated to add the build's target architecture.

Previously, Flutter builds for Windows assumed an x64 target architecture.

Migration guide

#

You may need to update your infrastructure to use the new Flutter Windows build path.

Example build path before the migration:

build\windows\runner\Release\hello_world.exe

Example build path after the migration if targeting x64:

build\windows\x64\runner\Release\hello_world.exe

Example build path after the migration if targeting Arm64:

build\windows\arm64\runner\Release\hello_world.exe

If you use package:msix, update to version 3.16.7 or newer.
