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.

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'.

dartk and other command-line tools no longer rely on analyzer classes
like AnalysisContext or DartSdk, and instead use only the interface
defined in loader.dart.
The class AnalyzerLoader has been renamed to DartLoader.
The sharing of state in batch mode is now owned by loader.dart, so
dartk.dart does not deal with DartSdk and package_config.
Repository no longer has a package or SDK path. These concepts are
now specific to the Dart frontend. Consequently, loading a binary
file no longer relies on URI resolution.
The Repository class is now more clearly focused on linking symbolic
names to their IR objects, which for the time being is only
URI-to-library bindings, but should be extended to support linking
class and member references across different files and different
loaders.

Fields getters and setters should be implicit whenever possible
to ensure JS compilers can easily control how they are generated.
However, it is still useful to be able to take control of the getter
or setter in the IR. We should just refrain from doing so for common
cases, where it can have significant code size impact in JS.
We can use this to insert checked setters for fields that override
a setter with an incompatible type, or whose type references a type
variable.
There are two changes to facilitate this:
- Fields have two flags indicating if the implicit getter and/or
setter should be generated. If not set, there can be an explicit
getter/setter for it in the same class.
- Interface targets that reference a field now go through one
level of indirection. This lets us update interface targets in
the IR, which is necessary for redirecting calls to an explicit
getter or setter.

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.

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.

This lets us substitute different values for a type parameter depending
on the variance of its use site. For example:
(T) => T
can be substituted with [bottom <: T <: num] to get:
(bottom) => num
which is the best upper bound that doesn't use T.
This generalizes the existing substitution method, since it's
complicated enough that I don't want to maintain two versions of it.
