Ivan Inozemtsev 3176cfcd21 Revert "[vm, gc] Mark through new-space."
This reverts commit 3fb88e4c66.

Reason for revert: b/297175670

Original change's description:
> [vm, gc] Mark through new-space.
>
>  - Initial and final marking no longer visit all of new-space, reducing the STW pause for major GC.
>  - A scavenge during concurrent marking must forward / filter objects in the marking worklist that are moved / collected, increasing the STW pause for minor GC.
>  - Unreachable intergenerational cycles and weak references are collected in the next mark-sweep instead of first requiring enough scavenges to promote the whole cycle or weak target into old-space.
>  - Artificial minor GCs are no longer needed to avoid memory leaks from back-to-back major GCs.
>  - reachabilityBarrier is now just a count of major GCs.
>
> TEST=ci

Dart VM Compilation Pipeline

This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.

Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.

It has the following structure:

Directory What goes there
assembler/ Assemblers and disassemblers
backend/ IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules
frontend/ Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL
jit/ JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
aot/ AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
. Shared code or code without clear designation.

Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
