hover doctor to also report on the wix tools, and other things that the OS needs to be on disk. #523

This is related to the issue about installing the Wix tools for the user: https://github.com/go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter/issues/522

The way hover does not make you call "hover deps" to first get the dependencies is quite nice for a user. Instead it just checks it all under the hood for you when you use a function that requires OS dependencies.

But i was thinking it might be nice to have "hover doctor" tell you about what is and is not installed.

The current output is really good.

If it could have a section regarding Packaging. It could then tell you if you have the wix tools and any other tools needed installed.

It would also be nice if it can do it when not in a flutter folder with a pubspec.yaml. Sometimes you just want to check.
