### Features

There are a couple of UI stuff for:
- Creating migrations
- Updating database with selected migration (including migration names autocompletion)
- DbContext scaffolding from existing database
- Creating SQL scripts from the migration range
- Removing last created migration
- Suggesting installing `dotnet ef` command line tools if not installed (when opening solution that contains EF Core related projects)
- Previewing commands before execution
- Persisting selected common preferences between dialogs
