Paul Berry a226405a70 [flow analysis] Improve how catch clauses are modeled in tests.
This change updates the mini_ast testing infrastructure so that:

- It properly models the "exception type" part of a catch clause (the
  type named after the `on` keyword).

- It requires an exception variable to be specified if there is a
  stack trace variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- It requires an exception type to be specified if there is no
  exception variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- During the "pre-visit" stage, the exception variable and stack trace
  variable are registered with the `AssignedVariables` object, so that
  they can be properly handled by type promotion.

- During the main "visit" stage, the exception variable and stack
  trace variable are assigned the appropriate types.

Flow analysis unit tests are updated in order to meet the new
requirements, and flow analysis tests are added to check that stack
trace and exception variables are promotable and appropriately typed.

By ensuring that stack trace and exception variables are properly
typed during flow analysis tests, this paves the way for some
follow-up work, in which I plan to re-work how flow analysis keeps
track of variable types.

There is no behavioral change to the analyzer or compiler pipeline;
these changes are confined to `pkg/_fe_analyzer_shared/test`.

Paul Berry e208c2c636 [flow analysis] Rework tests of try/finally ordering.
This change adds test-only methods `propertyPromotionChainForTesting`
and `variablePromotionChainForTesting` to flow analysis; these are
used by the flow analysis unit tests to query the full promotion chain
of a porperty (or variable, respectively). This allows tests to
observe the effect of try/finally ordering on promotion chains without
having to resort to clever control flow joins.

Thanks to Lasse for the suggestion.

Paul Berry eec56c088e [flow analysis] Mark false branches of trivial is tests unreachable.
When an `is` test is trivially satisfied (i.e. `expr is T`, when the
static type of `expr` is a subtype of `T`), the `is` test is
guaranteed by soundness to evaluate to `true`, so any code path that
follows from the `is` test evaluating to `false` is unreachable.

This reasoning wasn't valid prior to sound null safety, because in
mixed mode programs, it was possible for an expression to evaluate to
`null` even if its static type wasn't nullable, and hence `expr is T`
might evaluate to `false` even if the static type of `expr` was a
subtype of `T`. So this change is gated on the `sound-flow-analysis`
language flag (which is enabled in Dart 3.9).

Paul Berry 69428c35cf [flow analysis] Rename code for testing pattern variable declarations.
The following renames are performed:

- The class `Declare` (which is the "mini-AST" representation of a
  pattern variable declaration), is renamed to
  `PatternVariableDeclaration`.

- The top level function `match` (which is used in tests to construct
  a "mini-AST" representation of a pattern variable declaration), is
  renamed to `patternVariableDeclaration`.

The new names should help avoid confusion in a follow-up CL I intend
to create, which will introduce a new `VariableDeclaration` class to
represent ordinary variable declarations.

There is no functional change. These renames only affect tests in
`pkg/_fe_analyzer_shared`.

Paul Berry 9602464304 [flow analysis] Don't clear types of interest on full demotion.
Previously, when assiging to a local variable that was promoted, if
the newly assigned value was not compatible with any of the promotions
(i.e., the variable was fully demoted back to its declared type), then
the set of types of interest was cleared.

This behavior was not documented anywhere in the spec, and it seems
oddly inconsistent to me; as far as I can tell, flow analysis doesn't
clear types of interest in any other circumstances. I've looked
through git history as well as my personal notes, and I've been unable
to find any justification for this behavior. So, with the agreement of
the language team, I'm removing it when sound-flow-analysis is
enabled.

Paul Berry 9f0e5229fa [flow analysis] Fix layering of type promotions in try/finally.
A tricky part of the implementation of flow analysis is the handling
of try/finally statements. Although promotions are tracked separately
in the `try` and `finally` blocks, promotions from both blocks need to
be merged together at the conclusion of the finally block. This
creates an ambiguity, because each type in a promotion chain is
required to be a subtype of the previous, and hence multiple
promotions of the same variable are inherently ordered. The ambiguity
is: when the promotions from the `try` and `finally` block are merged,
which promotions should be applied first?

In discussion with the language team, we've decided that the
promotions from the `try` block should be applied first, because that
matches the order of code execution. This change makes the behavior of
flow analysis more uniform, which should make it easier to reason
about and maintain.

In practice, the difference in behavior is quite subtle, and I don't
expect users to notice. However, to be on the safe side, the change in
behavior is conditioned on the `sound-flow-analysis` flag, so it will
only take effect when the user deliberately upgrades to language
version 3.9, and it will not affect already-published packages.

A test in google3 showed that no internal code would be broken by
force-enabling this change.

Paul Berry bf6ddd25c4 [flow analysis] Do not promote to mutual subtypes.
Previously, flow analysis had the rule that type promotion only
occurred when the type being tested was a subtype of the previously
promoted type (or the declared type, if there was no previous
promotion). This led to counterintuitive behaviors when the type being
tested and the previously promoted type were mutual subtypes (see
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/4368).

With this change, the rule is updated so that type promotion only
occurs when the type being tested is a subtype of the previously
promoted type _and_ the previously promoted type is _not_ a subtype of
the type being tested. The user-visible difference is that promotion
to a mutual subtype no longer occurs.

This change makes flow analysis easier to reason about, and improves
its behavior in corner cases, but I believe it will have minimal
impact on real-world code. But to reduce the risk to existing code,
the change only takes effect when the `sound-flow-analysis` language
feature is enabled.

Paul Berry 5dec261948 Fix test group name for sound flow analysis.
I accidentally called the test group "Sound null safety", which is a
related concept, but not the same thing.

Sound null safety is a compilation mode in which no legacy code is
allowed, and so it is sound to assume that an expression with a
non-nullable type cannot evaluate to `null`. It has been the only
allowed way to compile Dart programs for some time.

Sound flow analysis, on the other hand, is a set of improvements to
flow analysis which are possible now that all Dart programs are now
compiled in sound null safety mode. It is a language-versioned feature
that is enabled in Dart 3.9.

Paul Berry 7436b97ba4 [flow analysis] Allow non-cascaded field accesses to participate in field promotion.
The way this is accomplished is that in
`_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_rightBegin`, any expression
reference associated with the target of the null-aware access is
restored, and the corresponding SSA node is associated with the guard
variable (if any). These changes ensure that if the null-aware access
is a property get, the subsequent call to `propertyGet` will pick up
the appropriate SSA node, so it will be able to locate the promotion
key for the property.

This functionality is only enabled when the language feature
`sound-flow-analysis` is enabled.

To prevent test regressions, a few related changes need to be made at
the same time:

- `_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_end` is changed so that it clears
  any expression info or expression reference that was associated with
  the null-aware access expression. This prevents flow analysis
  information from being erroneously propagated out of a null-aware
  expression, which would have led to assertion failures when
  analyzing null-aware expressions inside of conditional
  expressions. This wasn't previously a problem because the expression
  reference used to be consumed by
  `_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_rightBegin`, preventing further
  expression references and expression infos from being recorded
  further along in the null-aware access.

- The test framework in `mini_ast.dart` is fixed so that `!` is
  considered to participate in null shorting. This was a bug in the
  test framework that wasn't previously caught because it happened not
  to produce any test failures.

- The analyzer's method `PostfixExpressionResolver._resolveNullCheck`
  is changed so that it calls `nonNullAssert_end` before terminating
  null-aware access. Previously, the order was swapped, causing
  `nullAwareAccess_end` to be called before `nonNullAssert_end` when
  analyzing expressions like `a?.b!`. This used to be benign, but now
  that non-cascaded field accesses participate in field promotion,
  flow analysis needs the methods to be called in the correct order.

Paul Berry 1540a33f74 [sound flow analysis] Implement behaviors for null-aware map entries.
It turns out that the flow analysis logic for null-aware map entries
has always presumed sound null safety. That is, given a map entry with
a null-aware key (`{?x: y}`), flow analysis assumed that if the key
was non-nullable, then the value was guaranteed to execute.

However, another piece of logic that could have been implemented, and
wasn't, was that if the key had static type `Null`, then the value was
guaranteed _not_ to execute. This logic would have been sound even
without assuming sound null safety (because even in unsound null
safety mode, the type `Null` was only inhabited by the value `null`).

This change implements the missing logic. Even though it doesn't
strictly depend on the assumption sound null safety, it still makes
sense to guard it by the `sound-flow-analysis` flag, because (a) it's
a potentially breaking change, and (b) it brings the flow analysis
behavior of null-aware map entries into alignment with the other
behaviors that are being implemented as part of the
`sound-flow-analysis` feature.

Paul Berry 08154451d5 [_fe_analyzer_shared] Use TypeAnalyzerOptions to configure flow analysis.
Previously, flow analysis was configured by passing a set of named
booleans to its constructor, each to enable or disable a separate
language feature.

This change merges the flow analysis configuration with the
`TypeAnalyzerOptions` class (which was already being used for
configuring the shared `TypeAnalyzer` class). This should make it
easier to add language features to the shared code base in the future,
since there will be one common place where all features will be
configured.

To avoid duplicating the logic that creates `TypeAnalyzerOptions`,
I've had to do a bit of minor surgery to the clients:

- In the test harness in `_fe_analyzer_shared`, there is a common
  method (`Harness.computeTypeAnalyzerOptions`) that constructs
  `TypeAnalyzerOptions` based on the harness configuration. It is
  called from a few different tests.

- In `pkg/analyzer`, there is a common method
  (`computeTypeAnalyzerOptions`) that constructs `TypeAnalyzerOptions`
  based on a `FeatureSet`. It is used by
  `LibraryAnalyzer.analyzeForCompletion`,
  `LibraryAnalyzer._resolveFile`, and the late variable
  `AstResolver._typeAnalyzerOptions`.

- In `pkg/front_end`, I've moved computation of `TypeAnalyzerOptions`
  from the `InferenceVisitorImpl` constructor to the
  `TypeInferrerImpl` constructor; the options are then passed to the
  `InferenceVisitorImpl` by `_createInferenceVisitor`.

I'm doing this work now as preparation for adding support for sound
flow analysis (https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/60438), so that
I can add the logic to enable it in a clean way.

Paul Berry 5d78579842 [analyzer] Fix dead code reporting for null-aware accesses.
A null-aware access can result in dead code if the target has static
type `Null`. The analyzer wasn't properly accounting for this,
resulting in some confusing ranges reported for the DEAD_CODE warning.

This change causes the following expressions to report dead code for
the code ranges indiced by `^`:

    Null myNullVar = null;
    myNullVar?[index];
    //         ^^^^^^ DEAD_CODE
    myNullVar?[index] = value;
    //         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DEAD_CODE
    myNullVar?.method();
    //         ^^^^^^^^ DEAD_CODE
    myNullVar?.property;
    //         ^^^^^^^^ DEAD_CODE
    myNullVar?.property = value;
    //         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DEAD_CODE

Note that the bug was confined solely to the logic that reports the
DEAD_CODE warning; there is no change to the reachability inferred by
flow analysis (and hence, this is a non-breaking change).

Support for `*` types has been removed from `mini_types.dart`.

A few test cases in `flow_analysis_test.dart` previously used `*`
types as a way of exercising corner cases involving types that were
mutual subtypes of each other. These tests have been changed to take
advantage of the fact that `dynamic` and `Object?` are mutual
subtypes.

Paul Berry 574e54db67 [_fe_analyzer_shared] Add shared logic to support null-shorting.
This change introduces a new mixin, `NullShortingMixin`, with a type
parameter `Guard` for the data structure used by the client to desugar
null-aware accesses. The mixin maintains a stack of these guards, and
provides methods that the client can use to manipulate the stack:

- `startNullShorting` adds an entry to the stack; it should be called
  when the client encounters the `?.` part of a null-aware expression.

It also provides two hooks that the client can override if desired:

- `handleNullShortingStep`, called whenever an entry is removed from
  the stack; this will let the CFE know when it should de-sugar a null
  short using a "let" expression.

- `handleNullShortingFinished`, called whenever a sequence of entries
  is removed from the stack; this will let the analyzer know when it
  should change the static type of an expression as a result of
  null-shorting.

Also, a new optional parameter, `continueNullShorting`, is added to
`TypeAnalyzer.analyzeExpression`. If this parameter is `false` (the
default value), then any null shorting that is started during analysis
of the expression (due to the client calling `startNullShorting`) will
be terminated before returning. If it is `true`, then null shorting
won't be terminated, so it will extend to the containing
expression. For expression types that are able to extend null shorting
that appears in their target subexpression (e.g., method calls and
property accesses), the `visit` or `analyze` method should pass
`false` for this parameter when making a recursive call to analyze the
target.

Finally, the `NullShortingMixin` has a getter `nullShortingDepth`,
that `TypeAnalyzer.analyzeExpression` uses to determine when null
shorting should be terminated, and a method `finishNullShorting`, that
actually does the work of terminating null shorting. In principle,
clients don't need to invoke these parts of the `NullShortingMixin`
API. However, since the CFE doesn't always use
`TypeAnalyzer.analyzeExpression` (favoring its own internal methods
`InferenceVisitorImpl.inferExpression` and
`InferenceVisitorImpl.inferNullAwareExpression`), the CFE will need to
use them.

The "mini_ast" tests of flow analysis formerly used a method called
`nullAwareAccess` to exercise the flow analysis effects of null-aware
constructs. This was hacky and confusing, and is now unnecessary,
since the shared infrastructure now fully supports null-shorting. So
this method has been removed and replaced by the ability to mark a
method invocation or property access as null-aware.

This change only builds the infrastructure for shared analysis of
null-shorting; the analyzer and CFE still handle null shorting on
their own. In follow-up CLs I will change the analyzer and CFE to make
use of the shared mechanism.

Paul Berry 38c08f919d [flow analysis] Remove ExpressionInfo.after.
Previously, the base `ExpressionInfo` class contained four fields:

- `type`: the type of the expression.

- `ifTrue`: a flow model describing the state of the program after the
  expression is evaluated, assuming the expression evaluates to
  `true`.

- `ifFalse`: a flow model describing the state of the program after
  the expression is evaluated, assuming the expression evaluates to
  `false`.

- `after`: a flow model describing the state of the prorgam after the
  expression is evaluated, making no assumptions about what value the
  expression evaluates to.

The `after` field was largely redundant, since it tracked the same
information as `FlowAnalysisImpl._current`. In fact, flow analysis
contained a substantial amount of code to copy from
`ExpressionInfo.after` to `FlowAnalysisImpl._current`, or vice versa,
in order to keep the two in sync.

The one exception was in `FlowAnalysisImpl.conditional_end`, which is
called at the end of visiting a conditional expression (`e1 ? e2 :
e3`): it joined the `after` flow models from `e2` and `e3` in order to
determine the state of the program after the conditional expression
completes. To preserve this behavior, a small amount of extra
accounting logic had to be added to the handling of conditional
expressions, to keep track of these flow models. (`e2.after` is now
stored in `_ConditionalContext.thenModel`, and `e3.after` comes from
the state of `_current` at the time of entry into
`FlowAnalysisImpl.conditional_end`).

Paul Berry b452721942 Change "mini types" type parameters to match CFE and analyzer.
Previously, the "mini types" representation used in
`_fe_analyzer_shared` unit tests represented unpromoted type
parameters using the `PrimaryType` class (which was also used for
interface types and special built-in types like `void`) and
represented promoted type parameters using a separate
`PromotedTypeVariableType` class.

This CL changes the "mini types" representation to use a single
`TypeParameterType` class for both unpromoted and promoted type
parameters.  This parallels the representation used by the analyzer
and CFE, so it should help pave the way for sharing type system logic
between the analyzer and CFE.

To allow the `Type` constructor to distinguish whether a given
identifier represents an interface type or a type variable, tests must
register all type names they will need, using either the static method
`TypeRegistry.addTypeParameter` or the static method
`TypeRegistry.addInterfaceTypeName`.

To prevent the type names registered by one unit test from interfering
with those registered by another, tests should call
`TypeRegistry.init` in a `setUp` callback and `TypeRegistry.uninit` in
a `tearDown` callback. Methods in `TypeRegistry` contain error checks
to help make sure these calls aren't forgotten.

Paul Berry 13d4eaf99a Implement matchInferableParameter in MiniAstOperations.
Previously the implementation of this method was a stub.

It turns out that all the necessary infrastructure was in place
already, however the type arguments supplied by MiniAstOperations to
TypeAnalyzerOperationsMixin and TypeAnalyzerOperations needed to be
changed: in the "mini_ast" representation of types, an
InferableParameter is represented by a String, not a
PromotedTypeVariableType. This is because InferableParameter is meant
to represent the declaration of the type parameter
(StructuralParameter for the CFE, TypeParameterElement for the
analyzer), not the type itself. The types used for unit testing in
_fe_analyzer_shared don't have a separate notion of the declaration of
a type parameter, so we just use its name.

Implementing this logic required adding a method
`TypeSystem.matchTypeParameterType`, which checks if a Type is a type
parameter type, and returns the name of the type parameter if so. I
based this on the previously existing `TypeSystem._isTypeVar` method
(which performed the same job but did not return the type parameter
name).

I also took the liberty of fixing a flow analysis test that treated
`T` as a type variable but failed to mark it as a type variable by
calling `addTypeVariable`.

This should help pave the way for unit testing more of the shared
infrastructure for types.

Chloe Stefantsova 3acd125e44 [analyzer][cfe] Implement types and type schemas as extension types
This CL removes Type and TypeSchema type variables from the abstract
classes with shared code between the CFE and the analyzer. Extension
types SharedTypeView and SharedTypeSchemaView are declared to replace
the type variables.

The update propagates the discipline of distinguishing between types
and type schemas into the clients of the shared code. Now the code in
the CFE and the Analyzer that uses the shared code needs to statically
specify the interpretation of their type objects as either types or
type schemas.

Another benefit of the update is SharedTypeView and
SharedTypeSchemaView being less opaque than the Type and TypeSchema
type variables, which removes the necessity for some code duplication
in abstract methods for types and type schemas.

Finally, the update enables some further changes in the shared code
between the Analyzer and the CFE.

Paul Berry b026068313 Flow analysis: fix handling of list pattern type promotion.
When analyzing the type test implied by a pattern, flow analysis uses
three variables to control promotion behavior:

- `matchFailsIfWrongType`, which indicates whether flow analysis needs
  to account for the possible control flow path resulting from the
  type test failing. (This is `false` for cast patterns, because in
  the case where a cast pattern fails, an exception is thrown).

- `matchMayFailEvenIfCorrectType`, which indicates whether flow
  analysis needs to account for the possible control flow path
  resulting from the type test succeeding, but some other check
  causing the match to fail. (This is `true` for most list patterns,
  because the list pattern will fail to match if the list has the
  wrong length).

  (Note that `matchMayFailEvenIfCorrectType` doesn't account for the
  fact that a pattern match might fail due to failure in a subpattern
  match; this is automatically handled by the fact that flow analysis
  walks through the complete pattern in the order in which it
  executes.)

- `coversMatchedType`, which indicates whether the type test is
  guaranteed to succeed due to a subtype relationship between the
  matched value type and the type being tested (e.g. a `num x` pattern
  is guaranteed to succeed if the matched value type is `int`).

In the case where `matchFailsIfWrongType` is `true`,
`matchMayFailEvenIfCorrectType` is `true`, and `coversMatchedType` is
`false`, flow analysis must account for the fact that there are two
ways that the pattern match might fail: the type test might fail, or
the type test might succeed but then the pattern match might fail for
some other reason.

Before this change, this was done incorrectly, and flow analysis only
accounted for the possibility of the type test failing.

Fixes #55543.

Paul Berry 0c7585c907 Start building a shared class hierarchy for types.
This commit introduces the following new classes:

- SharedType, which represents the common interface between the
  DartType classes in the analyzer and the CFE.

- SharedRecordType, which represents the common interface between the
  RecordType classes in the analyzer and the CFE.

- SharedNamedType, which represents the common interface between the
  analyzer and CFE representations of a name/type pair.

- SharedUnknownType, which represents the common interface between the
  analyzer and CFE representations of the unknown type (`_`).

This allowed three methods to be removed from the
`TypeAnalyzerOperations` class:

- `areStructurallyEqual`, which is replaced by
  `SharedType.isStructurallyEqualTo`.

- `asRecordType`, which is no longer needed because `is
  SharedRecordType` can be used instead.

- `isUnknownType`, which is no longer needed because `is
  SharedUnknownType` can be used instead.

And one method to be removed from the `FlowAnalysisTypeOperations`
class:

- `isSameType`, which is replaced by `operator ==`. (Technically this
  could have been done even without introducing a shared class
  hierarchy, since `operator ==` is defined in the shared base class
  `Object`).

The long term goal is to fill out the shared class hierarchy to cover
other kinds of types (interface types, function types, void, etc.),
and to move most of the shared logic from the analyzer and CFE
DartType class hierarchies into shared code. This should reduce the
risk of implementation skew between the analyzer and CFE, and to
streamline the implementation of future features. Additionally, the
hope is to eventually remove, or drastically simplify, classes like
`TypeAnalyzerOperations`, so that the code in `_fe_analyzer_shared`
can be written in simpler and more straightforward way.

Paul Berry 97edad1568 Flow analysis: Use extension type erasure for implicit is reachability.
Whenever a pattern performs an implicit `is` test, flow analysis
attempts to determine whether the `is` test is guaranteed to succeed;
if it is, then flow analysis considers the code path in which the `is`
test fails to be unreachable. This allows flow analysis to recognize
switch statements that are trivially exhaustive (because one of the
cases is guaranteed to match), avoiding spurious errors such as
"variable must be assigned before use" or "missing return statement".

This change upgrades the logic for computing when an `is` test is
guaranteed to succeed, so that it accounts for type erasure of
extension types. This brings flow analysis's treatment of switch
statements into closer alignment with the exhaustiveness checker,
which should reduce the risk of confusing error messages. For more
information see
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/3534#issuecomment-1885839268.

Paul Berry c9cf5b9916 Add a type parameter to TypeAnalyzer to represent type schemas.
The front end and analyzer use the same representation for types and
type schemas, with the unknown type schema (`_`) treated as a
pseudo-type. This creates the risk of accidentally mixing types and
schemas, resulting in `_` accidentally "leaking" into the type system
and showing up in static analysis results or error messages.

As a step toward reducing this risk, this change adds a type parameter
to `TypeAnalyzer`, preventing the shared type analysis code from being
able to assume that types and schemas are represented the same. This
extra discipline makes it much easier to search through the code and
identify how types are manipulated vs. how type schemas are
manipulated, and makes it impossible for the shared type analysis to
accidentally leak `_` into the type system.

I believe this change will also make it easier to implement some type
inference improvements we've been contemplating, such as improved type
inference of `.map(...).toList()`, as well as
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/3471, because those
improvements may require introducing new kinds of type schemas.

Paul Berry 5510ef63a6 Clean up shared Operations classes.
The classes `Operations`, `TypeOperations`, and `VariableOperations`
are reworked as follows:

- The class `FlowAnalysisOperations<Variable, Type>` contains the API
  used by flow analysis to manipulate the client's representation of
  types and variables. This class (and the classes that support it) is
  located in `flow_analysis_operations.dart`, a sibling of
  `flow_analysis.dart`.

- Note that `FlowAnalysisOperations<Variable, Type>` has a supertype,
  `FlowAnalysisTypeOperations<Type>`, which contains the portion of
  the API that is only concerned with types. This simplifies the
  implementation of flow analysis, by letting some of its lower-level
  operations be agnostic to how the client represents variables.

- The class `TypeAnalyzerOperations<Variable, Type>` contains the API
  used by the shared type analyzer to manipulate the client's
  representation of types and variables. This class (and the classes
  that support it) is located in `type_analyzer_operations.dart`, a
  sibling of `type_analyzer.dart`.

- Several abstract methods and getters that were previously in the
  `TypeAnalyzer` class are moved to `TypeAnalyzerOperations`, for
  consistency with `FlowAnalysisOperations`.

Since the type analyzer calls out to flow analysis, the class
`TypeAnalyzerOperations` is a subtype of
`FlowAnalysisOperations`. This means that clients only need to
implement a single API, `TypeAnalyzerOperations`.

Paul Berry d42390d7c1 Clean up enable/disable logic for flow analysis and type inference tests.
Previously, the logic for enabling and disabling language features in
flow analysis and type inference tests relied on setters in the
`Harness` class that (a) were mostly unmatched with getters, and (b)
were almost exclusively used in just a single one direction
(e.g. `Harness.legacy` defaulted to `true`, so it was only ever set to
`false`).

Cleaned up so that there are explicit `enable` and `disable` methods
in the `Harness` class to cover all the use cases.

Paul Berry c23ac067eb Improve the behavior of "why not promoted" when field promotion disabled.
If the user attempts to promote a property, and their language version
does not permit field promotion, the "why not promoted" logic now
checks whether the language version is the sole reason for the failure
in property promotion. In other words, it checks whether the property
would have been promotable *if* field promotion had been enabled. If
it would, then the context message displayed to the user explains that
the property did not promote because field promotion is not supported
by the current language version.

However, if there is some secondary reason why the property failed to
promote (in other words, if the property would not have been
promotable even if field promotion had been enabled), then the context
message now favors the secondary reason.

Rationale: imagine a user is maintaining a package that doesn't yet
support SDK version 3.2, and that package contains some property
that's non-promotable both because the language version is prior to
3.2 *and* for some other reason (e.g., because the property isn't a
private field). It would be quite frustrating if the user saw a
context message suggesting that the property would be promotable in
SDK 3.2, and then went to a lot of effort to bump their minimum SDK
version, only to discover *after* the bump that the property is still
not promotable.

In the process of making this change, I discovered that the CFE
doesn't support field promotion in patch files. This is because patch
files aren't listed in `SourceLoader.sourceLibraryBuilders`, so the
logic in the `FieldPromotability` is never invoked for those
files. Since patch files are an artifact of SDK development, and will
never be used by end users, it doesn't seem worth going to extra
effort to add this support. However, I've taken care to make sure that
the "why not promoted" logic recovers gracefully in patch files (by
simply not generating a context message).
