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.

Strong mode allows constant expressions to reference type parameters.
This requires constants to be canonicalized at runtime, but it is not
yet determined exactly how this feature will work in future versions
of the language.
For now, we work around it by replacing such types with 'dynamic'.

Block expressions are expressions and so can be arbitrarily nested.
They can contain statements, including yield statements. The VM's
implementation of yield assumes that it can only occur when there are no
live intermediate values. It is not generally safe to allow
yield-containing block expressions to appear as arbitrary
subexpressions.
As a first step toward eliminating block expressions, this change
flattens the ones produced by the async transformation so that they can
only occur as the children of statements.

The VM does not support function type parameters at the moment, but we
can erase them at the last minute, to enable testing of other parts of
strong mode.
This also disables error checking in the SDK since the VM's
patch files are not in strong mode.

Allocate contexts to hold captured variables. Rewrite captured variable
access to context access. Outside of a local function, this is a single
indirection through a named context. Inside a local function it requires
traversing (a statically known number of) parent links.

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.

Transformer lifts try/catch auxiliary variables that need to survive across
yield points into the context.
Drive by fix: we were calling asyncThenWrapper to create an :async_op_error
callback by mistake.

- Rewrite all expressions in functions, not only expression-statements.
- Inject :await_ctx_var and :await_jump_var into the wrapper.
- Don't use transformed expression directly as part of completer.complete call.

This transformer is responsible for lifting subexpression into temporary variables preserved across yield points.
To maintain AST validity I introduced an expression that can contain a block of statements inside called BlockExpression.
