Paul Berry 9f6d1c1029 [messages] Start using toplevel diagnostic constants.
Changes the analyzer and related packages so that when they refer to
diagnostic constants, they do so via the import prefix `diag`, which
refers to the appropriate `diagnostic.dart` file containing the top
level diagnostic constant declarations, rather than the static
declarations inside `DiagnosticCode`-derived classes (which will soon
be removed).

This CL was created by the following steps:

- Run the script
  `pkg/analyzer_utilities/tool/messages/switch_to_toplevel_diagnostics.dart`.

- Execute `dart fix --apply --code=unused_import,unnecessary_import`
  on the following directories (this removes imports that are no
  longer necessary due to the change):
  - `pkg/analysis_server`
  - `pkg/analyzer`
  - `pkg/linter`
  - `pkg/analysis_server_plugin`
  - `pkg/analyzer_plugin`
  - `pkg/analyzer_testing`
  - `pkg/front_end`
  - `pkg/analyzer_cli`

- Execute `dart format` on the following files and directories:
  - `pkg/analysis_server`
  - `pkg/analyzer`
  - `pkg/linter`
  - `pkg/analysis_server_plugin`
  - `pkg/analyzer_plugin`
  - `pkg/analyzer_testing`
  - `pkg/front_end/test/scanner_test.dart`

  (Note that `pkg/front_end` and `pkg/analyzer_cli` are not
  re-formatted as whole directories because they contain `.dart` files
  that are test cases rather than source code, and reformatting those
  files might change test expectations.)

- Manually add `diag` to
  pkg/front_end/test/spell_checking_list_tests.txt.

- Manually fix the ignore comment in
  `pkg/analyzer_testing/lib/src/analysis_rule/pub_package_resolution.dart`. (The
  script `switch_to_toplevel_diagnostics.dart` automatically adds it
  after `import 'package:analyzer/src/diagnostic/diagnostic.dart' as
  diag;`, but then executing `dart format` bumps the ignore comment to
  the following line, where it has no effect.)

SDK development code analysis

dartanalyzer used to be the tool for statically analyzing dart code at the command line. However, this tool has been replaced with dart analyze for this purpose in current SDKs and will no longer be published on pub.

Do not depend on the command line interface or other semantics in this directory as it is now an internal tool for SDK development, used as the dart2analyzer "compiler" for tools/test.py in the SDK. It is configured as part of the test runner, here.

SDK development usage

For SDK development, run analysis from the test tool to validate analysis conclusions on language samples in the testing directory. From the root of the SDK:

tools/test.py --build --use-sdk -c dart2analyzer co19 language

This will build the Dart VM and compile dartanalyzer into a snapshot, then use that snapshot while analyzing those directories under testing/. Without --use-sdk, test.py will use the source code version of the analyzer instead of the compiled one, which can be useful for debugging.
