Description
This is nice to have feature for enabling disabling debug flags in User Preferences

Design:

expose checkboxes in user preferences
we can show it only when developer extras are enabled

Engineer plan:

there are ~24 G_DEBUG* flags in global structure G.debug
we already expose debug flags in bpy.app in blender-src/source/blender/python/intern/bpy_app.c:

debug_depsgraph
debug_depsgraph_build
debug_depsgraph_eval
debug_depsgraph_pretty
debug_depsgraph_tag
debug_depsgraph_time
debug_events
debug_ffmpeg
debug_freestyle
debug_gpumem
debug_handlers
debug_io
debug_python
debug_simdata
debug_value
debug_wm```

* I am not sure how to implement buttons, I would appreciate feedback:
  * is it possible to bind api to button?
  * should I create RNA entry for each flag? how to bing RNA to global structure? how does RNA relates to api?

* as a bonus I would like to expose running depsgraph graphing tool

Changing this to Confirmed since this is not something the triaging team can do anything about.
