/// Throws a specialized exception to exit with an actionable [message].
///
/// A [ToolExit] is interpreted by the `flutter` tool to mean "exit the tool
/// gracefully with a human actionable error [message]", and should be used in
/// scenarios where a human (developer) can make a decision based on the result.
///
/// For example:
///
/// - An invalid set of command-line arguments were passed.
/// - The network appears to be unavailable.
/// - The project needs to be modified in some way for a command to succeed.
///
/// Prefer throwing an error (such as [StateError]) for cases such as:
///
/// - An internal tool (such as invoking `dart`) returns an unexpected response.
/// - An unrecoverable state is detected deeper in execution.
///
/// A stack trace is included in the tool output when `--verbose` is specified.
///
/// While supported, avoid passing `null` for [message]; this is a legacy
/// behavior that is not intended. For example, provide the message directly
/// instead of using a combination of `logger.error` and `throwToolExit`:
///
/// ```diff
/// - logger.error('Expected --foo to be provided in conjunction with --bar');
/// - throwToolExit(null);
/// + throwToolExit('Expected --foo to be provided in conjunction with --bar');
/// ```
