flutter doctor currently outputs (something) like this:

% flutter doctor

We'd like to add a warning in the Android emulator (AVD) version is lower than an expected "newer" version.

We discovered this can be queried via:

% $ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator --version
33.1.17.0 (build_id 10594030)

Steps:

• Add a warning for the emulator version
• Work with the Impeller team to verify what that version should be

Context

As we get closer to releasing Impeller on Android, we've discovered that Vulkan and Vulkan Validation Errors were not fully supported, and even worked with the Android team to get bug fixes to avoid emulator crashes.

Emulators are a primary way many developers work on their Flutter application, especially if they are developing for Android, so it will become surprising that (older) emulator binaries crash when we switch the default to --enable-impeller.

As I mentioned in the engine weekly, this up for grabs.
