While generating bytecode, avoid flattening of type arguments used for
instance allocations (and thus avoid creating new types when substituting
type parameters). This is a workaround to limitation of kernel metadata
which is unable to serialize references to nodes (such as DartType)
not reachable from root Component.

To enable bytecode generation, toggle kEnableKernelBytecode flag at
the beginning of pkg/vm/lib/bytecode/gen_bytecode.dart.
This will also enable generation of bytecode in platform dill files.
Also, bytecode generation can be enabled using --gen-bytecode option of
pkg/vm/tool/gen_kernel.
In kernel binaries, the generated bytecode and constant pool are
placed into 'vm.bytecode' metadata attached to members.
pkg/vm/tool/dump_kernel tool can be used to disassemble
bytecode and print constant pool.
Differences between generated bytecode and original DBC are
described in pkg/vm/lib/bytecode/dbc.dart.
Format of constant pool is described in
pkg/vm/lib/bytecode/constant_pool.dart.
Currently, only a small subset of Dart language is supported.
Bytecode generator will not emit vm.bytecode metadata for a
member if its body has an unsupported operation.
