flutter "toggle debug paint" command

See original GitHub issue

Default flutter app template has the following comment:

// Invoke "debug paint" (press "p" in the console where you
// ran "flutter run", or select "Toggle Debug Paint" from the
// Flutter tool window in IntelliJ) to see the wireframe for
// each widget.

It would be nice if Dart-Code would support “debug paint” as well. There are more commands that flutter run supports, but this was the most helpful in my opinion. And “full restart”: #368.

I’ve added all of the commands I could find in the intelliJ file, will be included in v2.3 (with the exception of opening Observatory timeline, that may or may not be included in 2.3).

No docs as such; the IntelliJ sources will be the best system of record for a bit. You can also skim the flutter repo code, and you should be able to get a list of service protocol extensions from the protocol.
