Circuit visualizer

[KabirDubey]

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a feature to the repo that enables users to visualize the Stim circuits it produces.

• should include the built-in visualizer stim.Circuit.diagram.
• some discussion can be found in 9/2, 10/2, and 10/9 meetings recordings
• should help greatly with debugging and provide some granularity to the tool

Please feel free to discuss any further details here.

Additional context

What would be nice is to be able to superimpose the "image" of a (grid of) logical qubit on the output of stim.Circuit.diagram to help understanding locating the qubits on the stim diagram and understanding their status. We can close this issue too and open a new one with a more detailed description of what would be interesting to have. I think that, on this particular issue, it would be nice to have feedback from everyone to know what would be the best visualisation for everyone.

+1 to this. Being able to step forward and backwards through the ticks of
the circuit would be great. An alternative view where you just see the
plaquettes and a number in each corner giving the time of interaction would
also be very useful. A useful way to focus on just hook errors without
numbers is to put a line inside the plaquette connecting the last 2 corners
touched.

I also really liked Adrien's idea of just using Crumble to visualize the circuits since then you can also check detectors etc. Adding colored polygons to assist would be great.
