DebugOverlay class

A widget that adds a debug overlay to the app, allowing for easy debugging of various components.

The overlay can display logs in a sorted view and inspect HTTP requests with a JSON viewer.

To use the DebugOverlay widget, simply insert it at any point in your widget tree or use DebugOverlay.builder in your WidgetsApp.builder.

It is recommended to use your own builder, as this allows a higher usability and customizability.
