Use case

Sometimes we encounter weird behavior with our AVD so that it just freezes and only thing helping is a cold boot. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, cold booting is possible only with AVD manager in Android Studio, but I develop in VS Code and launching heavy Android Studio just for that is really not convenient.

I would like to just have the possibility to run my device cold booted using Flutter CLI:

flutter emulators --launch Pixel_2_XL_API_28 --coldboot

Proposal

Add --coldboot (or --cold) parameter to flutter emulators tool that launches the emulator cold booted.
