Paul Berry 49597f85d9 [front_end,kernel] Add ignores for codegen to prepare for new syntax.
(Part of https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/63288)

Updates various code generators in the `front_end` and `kernel`
packages to output `ignore_for_file` comments to ignore the
`unnecessary_type_name_in_constructor` lint.

This is a first step towards migrating the `front_end` and `kernel`
packages to use the new constructor declaration syntax, since it will
allow the `unnecessary_type_name_in_constructor` lint to be enabled
without breaking generated code.

Once all the packages have had their SDK constraints bumped to a
language version that supports the new syntax, I'll update the code
generator to use the new syntax, and remove the ignores.

For more information about the new constructor declaration syntax, see
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob/main/accepted/future-releases/primary-constructors/feature-specification.md#abbreviations-of-in-body-constructor-declarations.

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
