Feature request: make it easier to start using json_serializable

[roughike]

If json_serializable is the officially recommended JSON library for Dart / Flutter, it would make sense to make it easier to get started with it.

A live template for json_serializable models

To create a json_serializable model, some amount of boilerplate code is required from the user. A live template makes the process much more convenient.

It would look something like this:

Quick fixes for running code generation utility and adding needed dependencies

Here's the flow from the users point of view:

• create a json_serializable model class with the live template
• the User class has a squiggly red line under the name, saying "Code not generated yet"
• user presses Alt-Enter and sees a quick fix option called "Generate code for json_serializable model"

By hitting enter, the following steps would be done:

• Check if the json_serializable package is declared in pubspec file. If not, add it automatically and refresh the dependencies.
• Run flutter packages pub run build_runner build to build the generated code.

If somebody can point me in the right direction (and if including these kind of features makes sense), I would like to take a stab at this.
