Target-specific modular transformations have to be able to cope with
external libraries. Target-specific global transformations should be
optimizations, and not required for correctness, since a simple linker
may choose not to perform them.
Make mixin resolution modular by making it fail when a mixed-in class
comes from an external library. (We cannot mix in such a class because
we do not necessarily have all class members.)

- Use strong-mode types for more precise tree shaking.
- Bail out nicely if dart:mirrors is used.
- Run the tree shaker in the VM target.
The initial tree-shaking pass could be combined with the type checking
pass (inserting implicit down casts) but for now they remain separate.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Some backend targets require extra libraries that are not used
explicitly by a program (e.g., the Dart VM requires its bootstrap
libraries). Add a target-specific list of these libraries and ensure
that they are loaded when loading a program from Dart sources.

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.
