Deprecate the Flutter Outline view #6018

@DanTup

Description

@DanTup

The Flutter Outline view is not used much (fewer than 0.02% of sessions with analytics enabled interact with it, some of which may be out of curiosity or because it's on the same panel as other tools). The functionality it provides is already available in other places (there's a built-in Outline for classes/members, the experimental flutter UI guidelines for hierarchy, and refactors are available in the lighbulb/refactor menus).

The equivalent in IntelliJ was removed over a year ago (flutter/flutter-intellij#7860).

We should announce intended deprecation in the next release notes, and show a one-off warning to users the first time they interact with it informing them and linking to #6019.
