Description
Currently when you run your app in profile-mode, the performance panel shows a disabled checkbox that makes it seem like it should be possible to "count widget builds" (see screenshot below)
In actuality, "count widget builds" relies on the `trackRebuildDirtyWidgets` service extension, which uses `debugOnRebuildDirtyWidget`. This is only available in debug-mode: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/f9e809913240552c391bf31b1cfdbdf410224d8c/packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/debug.dart#L59
Instead of "To see widget rebuilds for Flutter frames, enable `CountWidgetRebuilds`", we should remove the checkbox and update the text to say "Rebuild information not available for this frame. Widget rebuild counts are only available when running an app in debug-mode."
