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.
