Rename noFrequencyBasedMinification to useFrequencyBasedMinification

This PR renames the parameter noFrequencyBasedMinification on JsCompilerConfig to useFrequencyBasedMinification, addressing the in-repo TODO in packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/web/compiler_config.dart: "consider renaming this to be 'positive'. Double negatives are confusing." (TODO(kevmoo)).

What changes: The parameter is now positive: useFrequencyBasedMinification (default true). When set to false, the compiler still receives --no-frequency-based-minification. The CLI flag remains --no-frequency-based-minification; only the Dart API and internal naming change.

Why: Positive naming improves readability (e.g. useFrequencyBasedMinification: false is clearer than noFrequencyBasedMinification: true). No behavior or CLI contract change.

Issues fixed: None. This addresses an in-repo TODO; an issue is not required for this trivial refactor per the template.

If you had to change anything in the flutter/tests repo, include a link to the migration guide as per the breaking change policy.
N/A — no changes in flutter/tests.

Code Review

The pull request successfully renames noFrequencyBasedMinification to useFrequencyBasedMinification in JsCompilerConfig, addressing a TODO to use positive naming for better readability. The logic is correctly updated to maintain existing behavior, ensuring that the --no-frequency-based-minification flag is passed to the compiler when the property is set to false. The CLI flag remains unchanged, preserving the existing user interface. Documentation has been added to the new field, and tests have been updated accordingly. The changes are clean and follow the project's style guidelines, specifically regarding the documentation of public members.
