Support creating flutter samples directly from the Flutter IntelliJ code when browsing Flutter docs

[jacob314]

You can create samples from the command line as follows
flutter create --sample=chip.DeletableChipAttributes.onDeleted

And see the samples when browsing dart docs.

https://master-docs-flutter-io.firebaseapp.com/flutter/material/Chip/onDeleted.html

It would be great if from IntelliJ you could create a project with a sample with a single click while browsing docs.

@gspencergoog worked on support for the feature in the Flutter repo that we should leverage to implement IDE support.

An ideal implementation would show a clickable button in the Dart source code that would execute the flutter create and open a new intellij project in a separate window with the result of the create.

@stevemessick who is the expert on the project creation portions of the flutter intellij plugin.

@jacob314 you give me too much credit :) Pretty sure it was @pq that implemented project creation for the original plugin. I just did the version for Android Studio.

Could you expand on that a bit? Is that new button visible when viewing code in the browser? IntelliJ?

The current support is in the browser. It would be nice to add support to IntelliJ as well.

See my comments in #2708. I think this would work very well with the (proposed) tutorial.
