"Covariance checks" are checks on certain parameters, necessary due to
the unsafe covariant subtyping rule for interface types.
The new pass generates a checked entry point for each method with
covariance checks. This entry point checks the parameters whose type
cannot be trusted, and then calls the actual method implementation.
Every typed call is then redirected to the checked entry point if the
interface taget declares any parameters with unsafe types, unless the
receiver is 'this'.
Dynamic calls and covariant overrides are not addressed by this CL,
these are still unchecked.

FunctionType now has a List<NamedType> which must be sorted by name.
Previously, named parameters were stored in a Map<String, DartType>.
FunctionNode still has a List<VariableDeclaration>, but this list must
now be sorted by name.

Previously, the type of a conditional expression could be omitted if
one of the arms was just a null literal. This was meant to simplify
translation into kernel, but wasn't really worth it in terms of
complexity, and it does not work well for types that carry nullability
information.

Previously, we would generate a stub for a redirecting factory, but
the default parameter values were not correctly forwarded.
This could have been fixed by copying the default parameter values into
the stub, but this conflicts with modular compilation, since the
element model does not expose default parameter values, and we should
not rely on the AST of libraries not part of the current build unit.
Apart from fixing this bug, this is also more aligned with how all the
backends actually work.

A single suite of test files is now shared among these configurations,
each with their own expected outputs:
- spec mode
- strong mode
- spec mode w/ type propagation
Although some tests are going to focus on a specific configuration,
for now it seems easier to maintain a single set of tests.
No additional tests have been added in this CL, but the intention
is to start adding more tests.
The baseline tests no longer contain any checked-in dill files.
To simplify dependencies, these tests do not rely on a patched SDK,
which means the async transformer cannot currently be tested with
this framework.
