Paul Berry 2b06ac466d Flow analysis: rework some testing logic in preparation for pattern support.
- Variable types are no longer specified in the call to the `Var`
  constructor; they are now specified in the call to `declare`.  This
  paves the way for supporting variable pattern syntax, in which a
  single variable might appear in multiple variable patterns, and have
  its type specified in each pattern.  The properties `isFinal` and
  `isLate` are also moved to `declare` for consistency.

- Variables with inferred types are now specified by simply not
  including a type in `declare`; it's no longer necessary to specify
  `isImplicitlyTyped: true`.

- `declare` now supports an `expectInferredType` argument to allow the
  inferred type of an implicitly typed variable to be tested.

- The tests now check that variables are assigned a type before flow
  analysis requests it; previously this was not tested, and the flow
  analysis tests sometimes did things in the wrong order.  (The
  analyzer and CFE have always done this in the proper order though).

- The tests now support some of the crazy types that arise during type
  parameter promotion, e.g. they can now distinguish `(T&int)?` from
  `T&(int?)`.

- Flow analysis tests now properly replicate the analyzer and CFE
  behaviors for converting the static type of an initializer
  expression to the corresponding inferred variable type: (a) `Null`
  is converted to `dynamic`, and (b) type parameter promotions are
  dropped.

Note that this last behavior (dropping type parameter promotions) has
a lot of subtleties, and I'm not convinced the CFE and analyzer do it
soundly in all cases (I've already found one such soundness bug:
https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/49691).  In a later CL, I plan
to add a more thorough set of language tests to verify that we don't
have other lurking soundness issues.

FE/analyzer shared code

This package contains logic that is shared between the front_end and analyzer packages. It is intended solely to facilitate development of the Dart SDK, and is not intended for use by end users. In particular, this package has no public API, so no guarantee is made of compatibility between one version of the package and the next.

End users should consider using the analyzer package to analyze Dart source code.
