Description

Unlike other New Project or SDK selection boxes, the New Project wizard for Flutter projects does not show what version of the Flutter SDK is being selected.

Some developers use FVM to provide for different versions of projects that have to be maintained, so it would be a minor convenience to see which version is being selected in the drop down.

Alternatively, if it's not going to be changed or the team doesn't feel it's important, it might be more streamlined to just put the Flutter SDK Selector on the same window/view as the Project information view especially since the selected Flutter SDK does not impact the project configuration options that are presented to the user. i.e. Selecting Flutter 1.0 as your SDK doesn't remove platform targets for Linux, Web, etc...which results in an error when creating the project unless you select only Android as your platform target. Tested using v0.11, 1, 2, etc...
