to Desktop Embedding for Flutter

As of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/36699 desktop support must be enabled explicitly using 'flutter config'; see http://flutter.dev/desktop#tooling for instructions.

For compatibility with old third-party instructions and workflows, the environment variable that was used to enable desktop previously will override the configuration if set. However, the new setting is much more convenient:

- It only needs to be set once (as opposed to in every terminal window)

- It will apply to IDEs as well, so VS Code and Android Studio will no longer require extra setup to run desktop projects.

As of now the old environment variable fallback is no longer supported, so if you never enabled desktop support via 'flutter config' now is the time to do so.
