Kallen Tu 8bfb683892 Enable 'primary-constructors' feature flag.
This CL enables the primary constructors feature by default in Dart 3.13.

The primary constructors feature is a brevity feature. There are no new semantics, but it allows us to express declarations in a less verbose way.

This feature allows one constructor and a set of instance variables to be specified in the header of a declaration.

Currently a declaration with a constructor and some fields is written as:

```dart
// Current syntax.
class Point {
  int x;
  int y;
  Point(this.x, this.y);
}
```

With a primary constructor, we would write the above as:

```
class Point(var int x, var int y);
```

If a primary constructor needs an initializer list or a body, they can be
specified inside the class using the `this` body syntax:

```dart
class Point(var int x, var int y) {
  this : assert(x >= 0) {
    print('Point created at $x, $y');
  }
}
```

As part of this feature, you can also use the `new` and `factory` keywords to
declare constructors in the class body without repeating the class name:
```dart
class Point {
  int x, y;

  // Equivalent to Point(this.x, this.y)
  new(this.x, this.y);

  // Equivalent to Point.origin()
  new origin() : x = 0, y = 0;

  // Equivalent to factory Point.clone(Point other)
  factory clone(Point other) => Point(other.x, other.y);
}
```

Tested: Has existing language, CFE, analyzer, analysis server tests.
