Martin Kustermann 16ddfc1565 [VM] Use assert assignable implementation for explicit downcasts
This makes explicit downcasts more efficient by re-using the
optimizations we already have for implicit downcasts.

For implicit/explicit as checks we use the symbol to distinguish which
exception to throw if the check fails.  So this does not actually
require unification of _CastError and _TypeError.

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.
