dart fix needs a verbose option

[firephreek]

Running dart fix --dry-run returns the following information, which, on its own, isn't helpful in identifying actual problems I might want to address/correct. Adding a verbose option to include the associated information found running dart analyze would be more helpful.

Summary: The user requests a verbose option for dart fix to include the output from dart analyze, providing more context for the proposed fixes. Currently, dart fix --dry-run only shows a list of fixes without the underlying analysis information.

If we were to implement this, one question would be whether to show diagnostics for which there is no fix. My first guess is no because the unfixable diagnostics aren't relevant to the question of whether to re-run it with an --apply flag.
