[ DAS ] Add initial support for widget preview detection service

The Flutter Widget Preview feature is currently implemented within
Flutter Tools, which is responsible for detecting widget preview
annotations in the user's project. When previews are detected, the
Flutter Tool injects code generated based on the detected previews into an artificial widget_preview_scaffold project and performs a hot reload to render updates to the preview set in the scaffold application.

`package:analyzer` is currently being used to detect previews, but this comes with a significant amount of memory overhead. Since widget
previews are mostly being used from within IDEs which already have an
active analysis server, moving widget preview detection into the DAS
will remove the need for creating an additional analysis context in the Flutter Tool itself.

This change includes the initial work to move widget preview detection
into the DAS. It utilizes a pull-based mechanism, where the Flutter Tool listens for file system events and then queries the DAS using the `dart/textDocument/getFlutterWidgetPreviews` and `dart/workspace/getFlutterWidgetPreviews` LSP methods.

Each reported preview contains some generated code based on the annotation used to define the preview. This code has all constants from the original annotation evaluated to either primitive values or constant expressions with namespaces applied to each symbol, allowing for the Flutter Tool to inject this code directly when updating the generated code in the scaffold project.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
