Show all squares' coordinates while playing games #1605 #75

Is it possible to show all squares' coordinates while playing games? I know we can enable the rank and file labels on the edges, but while playing I forget to look at them completely and I find it difficult to memorize coordinates.

I have tried the coordinate training, but in-game it's different. I feel having coordinates like e4, f6, etc. while playing the game will be helpful in memorizing the coordinates faster.

I tried modifying the code myself, and was able to get all the coordinates showing, but while going through the code I realized that the coordinates setting is not dynamically passed to the chessboard, instead there are static boards created based on the theme, and hence I was not able to pass it through the mobile v2 app.

I made some changes, but to make it fully dynamic using prefs, it feels like a lot of refactoring might be required. And I'm not at all experienced in flutter/dart and it'll be difficult to get it merged without discussing here.

Attaching a screenshot of my changes. I can work on it if someone can guide me.

Link to the mobile issue as it'll likely require changes on both repos.
