This is the next step towards preventing compiler from directly peeking
into runtime and instead interact with runtime through a well defined
surface. The goal of the refactoring to locate all places where compiler
accesses some runtime information and partion those accesses into two
categories:
- creating objects in the host runtime (e.g. allocating strings, numbers, etc)
during compilation;
- accessing properties of the target runtime (e.g. offsets of fields) to
embed those into the generated code;
This change introduces dart::compiler and dart::compiler::target namespaces.
All code in the compiler will gradually be moved into dart::compiler namespace.
One of the motivations for this change is to be able to prevent access to
globally defined host constants like kWordSize by shadowing them in the
dart::compiler namespace.
The nested namespace dart::compiler::target hosts all information about
target runtime that compiler could access, e.g. compiler::target::kWordSize
defines word size of the target which will eventually be made different
from the host kWordSize (defined by dart::kWordSize).
The API for compiler to runtime interaction is placed into compiler_api.h.
Note that we still permit runtime to access compiler internals directly -
this is not going to be decoupled as part of this work.

New folder structure (nested under vm/):
- compiler/
- jit/ - JIT specific code
- aot/ - AOT specific code
- backend/ - all middle-end and back-end code (IL, flow graph)
- assembler/ - assemblers and disassemblers
- frontend/ - front ends (AST -> IL, Kernel -> IL)
compiler/README.md would be the documentation root for the compiler
pipeline
