Remove the original rule files from docs/rules and update the README for the directory to indicate their removal and replacement. Eventually we can remove the README, but we should keep it for now in case other links to the directory remain.

The page that references these files has been removed from the Flutter docs. Instead, there's a new, consolidated Get started developing with AI entrypoint documenting agent plugins, the mcp server, and skills.

This PR intentionally doesn't leave remnants where the rules files actually were, in case someone was programmatically depending on or extracting them. That way their tooling hopefully indicates the failure rather than silently including the removal notice.

Code Review

This pull request removes the static AI rule files for Flutter and updates the docs/rules/README.md to direct users to the official "Get started developing with Flutter and AI" documentation. The updated documentation explains that Flutter now provides guidance through agent plugins and skills instead of static rule files. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.
