Prior to this CL we carried around information about the containing class
and member, both of which was fetched by reading out-of-line in the binary
(i.e. while reading the current member, start reading something from the
parent member etc).
It had also required the introduction of extra fields in the kernel
binary file (dill file).
This CL cleans that up, by
a) Setting type parameters on functions as needed (in kernel_reader.cc)
b) Using the VM Class and VM Function to get the required information
(with a above the information is all available).
(in kernel_binary_flowgraph.cc.) This means that
c) We don't have to read the binary out-of-line (for TypeParameterType
to work at least), and that
d) We can remove the previously introduced extra fields from the
kernel binary file (dill file).

Summary:
Previously, we filled in all occurrences of captured type variables with either
"dynamic" or their bound, if they had one.
Now, we add extra type parameters to the top-level function corresponding to the
closure, and pass in the corresponding arguments as type arguments to the
"MakeClosure" operation.
Test Plan:
Updated [type_variables.dart] and added a new test case to it.

Mostly stream kernel_reader, i.e. the code that sets up the libraries,
classes, methods etc.
Mostly because it still takes a "Program" ast node, and looks at the
"Library" ast nodes to get their kernel offset in the binary.
Currently the scripts (containing breakable points etc) are also created
from the ast nodes.
The rest is now streamed.
This also means that more ast visitors could be deleted.

This mimics the behaviour of the source-based pipeline,
i.e. instead of "manually" calling _AssertionError._create and giving
the correct parameters (wrong parameters, actually), use the helper
method _AssertionError.ThrowNew.

This CL allows for streaming big parts of the binary,
i.e. without using the AST nodes.
It is thus a stepping-stone in getting rid of the AST nodes in the VM.
Generally, all Expressions except "FunctionExpression",
and all Statements except "FunctionDeclaration" can be streamed.
There are currently not streamed because they create new functions,
which has a pointer to an AstNode (which we don't have when streaming).
Once we no longer need AstNodes at all these can be streamed as well.
This is, I think, mostly a matter of streaming the ScopeBuilder as well,
something that is not currently done.
The way the streaming is build, one has to stream an entire subtree.
That means, that if an expression (or statement), A, that is generally
streamable contains an expression or a statement, B, that is not streamable,
A cannot be streamed.
The way this is build is by marking AstNodes as streamable or not
("cannot_stream_" field). That way we know up front whether we can stream
a subtree or not.
The streaming is done via "kernel_binary_flowgraph".
In this file there are many obvious comments, e.g.
```
TokenPosition position = ReadPosition(); // read position.
```
This has been done in an attempt to add a comment to everything that
reads from the binary to make it stand out more.
All changes from kernel_to_il up to and including May 2nd 2017
should be included.

- Instead of a pointer to new'd memory, Kernel strings now have an
offset from the start of the string data.
- When the streaming reader encounters the string data it records the
offset from the start of the binary. This offset is stored in the
Kernel Program and is used to compute the offset for strings.
- When a KernelReader is constructed, the string data is copied into a
Uint8 array in the VM's heap.
- A pointer to the string data is put into every Kernel script so it
can be used for constructing VM strings at compile time.
The source table does not use Kernel strings any more because those
strings are not found in the raw string data. Instead, the source
table uses new'd buffers for strings (but this will be cleaned up
separately).

Review-Url: https://codereview.chromium.org/2820363002 .
Instead of a list of strings given by their length and UTF-8 encoding,
restructure the string table to consist of a list of string ending
offsets followed by a blob of UTF-8 encoded strings without lengths.
This is a step toward copying the string blob into the VM's heap and
building a heap-allocated structure to give random access to them.

A new AST node 'ClosureCreation' is added. It takes a name of a
top-level function, a context, and a closure function type and creates a
closure of the given type. The effect of this closure invocation is the
same as of the invocation of the given top-level function with the
contexts as the first argument.
In order to use 'ClosureCreation', the closure conversion pass now
transforms closures into top-level functions, not closure classes. These
functions receive the context as the first argument.
The type of the expression represented by 'ClosureCreation' is its third
parameter. It its the responsibility of closure conversion pass to
create the correct types for 'ClosureCreation' nodes based on types of
closures transformed into top-level functions.

There are four operations that work on Vectors: Vector creation, looking
up an item in a Vector, assigning a value to an item in a Vector, and
copying a Vector. The first three operations are allowed to only use
integer literals as number operands (length for Vector creation, index
for item lookup and assignment). Corresponding AST nodes are created for
these operations.
Vectors are used to represent contexts in Closure Conversion. The parent
context is stored as item 0 in its children contexts. The "golden" tests
for this transformation are adjusted accordingly.
The support for Vectors is added to ast-to-text, ast-to-binary, and
binary-to-ast transformations.

- Offsets on more stuff
- Status file for kernel
-> Testing with (before fasta)
```
python tools/test.py -mrelease -cdartk --no-tree-shake --no-dfe service
```
now shows everything as passing.
Reload stuff, and evaluation stuff (e.g.) has been disabled though.
- Lots of new service tests that tests what positions we stop at when
saying next.
As fasta has now landed debugging does not currently work, but this is still needed in order to both test better and allow for proper kernel debugging support.

This adds a class CanonicalName that can represent a library, class,
or member. All references now go through a Reference object, which is
linked to both the AST node and its CanonicalName, so either can be
created first.
dartk now accepts multiple input files:
- If multiple dart files are given, they are all compiled.
- If multiple binaries are given, they are linked together.
Mixed dart and binary input is not supported by dartk.
dartk now has a flag --include-sdk which includes the entire SDK in
the output. This is so the SDK can be compiled alone and then linked.
Example of compiling separately and then linking:
dartk foo.dart -o foo.dill
dartk main.dart -o main.dill
dartk --include-sdk -o sdk.dill
dartk main.dill foo.dill sdk.dill --target=vm --link -o program.dill
dartk still has incredibly slow cold start due to the analyzer loading
the dart sdk, so this does not actually speed things up at the moment.

Previously a functions debuggable field was set to false in the async transformation (and because it wasn't done yet, not in async* and sync* transformation, though it should have been). Now instead, set the original async status and set debuggable on the c++ side equivalently.
Also, on the c++ side, set a functions modifier to async etc if they were originally async etc.

The concept of a binary library file no longer exists.
A kernel file can contain any number of libraries, and some of these
libraries can be "external". To reference a class or member from
another build, the class or member must be declared in an external
library.
Members in an external library contain all their type information,
but have no body.
Classes in an external library have their hierarchy information
present, but are not guaranteed to contain all their actual members.
The idea is that references themselves don't really cross module
boundaries, but rather refer to a local definition whose body is
contributed from elsewhere, much like 'external' members in Dart.
A modular backend such as DDC should be able to compile from one of
these kernel files without needing to load auxiliary information from
summaries or other kernel files.
For whole program transformations or backends, a linking step, which
is not yet implemented, must merge classes and members in external
libraries based on their name.
External libraries share the same IR and binary format as ordinary
libraries. Transformations that affect the interface for a member
or class should transform the external libraries alongside with the
internal ones, ideally without needing to treat them any different.

For now the focus is on getting stacktraces to look right.
What that basically means is to include source positions for throws,
calls (in many forms).
Includes source file uri for libraries, field, classes and methods.
Methods and fields for instance needs it because of top-level
procedures that might be included via 'parts'.

The interface target can now be stored on PropertyGet, PropertySet, and
MethodInvocation If set, we know the concrete target overrides or
implements that member.
All expressions have a method getStaticType for computing its type,
which relies on interface targets for the expressions that have one.
Expressions whose type is a least upper bound have the type stored
explicitly, so the definition of least upper bounds is contained only
in the frontend.
This is a work in progress towards strong mode support, it is still
not complete.
Still missing in the frontend:
- checks from implicit downcasts
- parameter checks from covariant override or covariant generics
Implemented but not part of this CL:
- subtype tests
- IR type checker (for debugging)

This makes super calls name-based (no target) and add direct calls with
both receiver and explicit target.
Super call resolution translates the name-based super calls into direct
calls after they have been cloned into the mixin application.
For JS backends, it should suffice to clone mixed-in methods that
contain super calls, but that transformation is not part of this CL.
This also adds a --target option to dartk designating the target to
which the kernel IR should be specialized. The new transformation
is run when --target=vm.

For constructor bodies, we arbitrarily set the return type to 'void'.
Although there is hardly any legitimate use for the "return type" of
a constructor, this doesn't have any overhead and it simplifies the
