The CL is a step towards have a more restricted and wellstructured
handled of references and canonical names.
The CL moves Reference to canonical_name.dart and makes
CanonicalName.reference private, and replaces CanonicalName.getReference
with a 'reference' getter.
It also removes NamedNode.canonicalName, Field.getterCanonicalName and
Field.setterCanonicalName so that these can only be accessed through the
corresponding reference. This is to reduce the reliance on the
canonical names which, ideally, should only be part of serialization and
deserialization.

The partitioning has the property that for every reference from loading unit S to unit T, either
- the reference is through a deferred prefix, or
- T is guarenteed to be loaded before S
The partitioning is constructed by cutting the dominator tree of the library import graph at deferred imports. It is suboptimal if there are deferred imports to multiple libraries in a connected component, but the expected use case involves loading units with a single deferred entry.

In order to have instance calls with unboxed parameters, all
the possible targets need to be able to those parameters unboxed.
Then, the methods were partitioned according to the class hierarchy,
and the inferred types from TFA are used to determine the parameters
that could be unboxed.
This is done for non-nullable integer and double parameters, and
return value.

Call counts are transferred in a dedicated metadata block with

This is a Dart-tailored implementation of the "row-displacement
dispatch table" technique for closed-world instance calls:
All interface targets in the program are grouped into selectors such
that all targets that could potentially be called from the same call
site have the same selector (currently just grouped by name).
Each selector is assigned a selector offset such that offset + classid
is unique for all selector/classid combinations where the class
implements the selector.
At every instance call site that has an interface target (i.e. where
the static type of the receiver is not dynamic), the selector offset +
receiver classid is computed and used as index into a global table of
entry points.
If the receiver can be null (as determined by the front-end TFA and the
VM type propagation), a null check is inserted before the call.
An arguments descriptor is provided (only) for selectors that need it
(those which have type parameters or optional/named parameters).
The dispatch table calls don't need the monomorphic entry code, so for
functions that are only called via dispatch table calls (i.e. never
called dynamically), the monomorphic entry code is left out.
Some future improvements to the table dispatch implementation are
mentioned in https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/40188
The table dispatch flag is disabled by default in this commit. A
separate commit enables the flag.

There are also 1-4% improvements on many benchmarks (Golem's "noise" analysis is hiding

Previously, generated bytecode was cached using metadata in kernel AST.
When serializaing kernel AST (for subsequent compilations) incremental
serialization was not used, so AST serialization was considerably
slower in bytecode mode compared to non-bytecode mode.
Apparently, metadata is not compatible with incremental serialization
(https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/39302).
This change reimplements caching of generated bytecode using a separate
'foo.dill.cache' file near the generated 'foo.dill' and 'foo.dill.ast'.
AST is now written using incremental serialization both in bytecode

Since that time sections of bytecode binary were aligned.
However, this alignment doesn't work well in AOT mode if dill file
contains both bytecode and AST, as other metadata (such as obfuscation
prohibitions) may precede bytecode metadata and may make the whole
bytecode binary misaligned.
This results in incorrect calculation of section offsets,

assert(writer.offset - start == section.offset);
and VM may fail to load bytecode binary with error

This is a major revamp of bytecode metadata format. Now bytecode has
its own serialization mechanisms.
This CL adds 'bytecode component' metadata, which contains bytecode
object table and string table. All references from bytecode (constant
pools) to libraries, classes, members, types and strings now have a new
format. References to frequently used objects are represented as indices
in object table, while rarely used objects are written inline.
This allows VM to cache frequently used objects while reading bytecode.
Representation of strings is aligned with VM - string characters are
stored in separate pools of one-byte and two-byte strings. This allows
VM to avoid UTF-8 decoding and extra copying.
Closure declarations are now explicit. Type parameters no longer require
enslosing scopes when reading/writing them.

Metadata is no longer written ahead of all nodes. Instead, metadata for
each node is written in the same context as the node itself (into a separate
buffer). This allows metadata to contain (serialize) arbitrary nodes
(for example, arbitrary DartTypes) and use serialization context of parent
nodes (such as declared type parameters).
However, with this change metadata looses the ability to reference
arbitrary AST nodes. This ability was overly restricted and had no
practical uses. (It was not possible to reference nodes which are not
reachable from root Component. As a consequence, it was not possible to
write references to arbitrary DartTypes.)
This change aligns the serialization capabilities of metadata with
how kernel AST nodes are serialized.

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.
