Custom Embedder devtools api

[ConnorRigby]

Use case

my company builds an embedded linux device, we are looking to use Flutter with a custom embedder (similar to Flutter-PI). Currently everything boots and runs as expected. the next trick will be get all the nice dev tools working.

Proposal

After a few minutes of skimming code, I found that it looks like most of the device discovery code happens in device.dart and related code. I propose that a new "device" be added that may allow a user to custom define the device implementation. i'm not exactly certain how that would look in practice, but i'd be happy to discuss if this is something the team is interested in.

What do you think about something like #65067 ?

[jonahwilliams]

Its not currently being worked on, because I've not heard from anyone that would be interested in prototyping it

I actually ended up partially solving my problem by using a similar solution to the go-flutter guys: go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter#129 (comment)
This is close enough for me to move forward right now, but i i've skimmed #65067 and it looks like there's some useful stuff in there as well. I will move further comments to that issue.
