Paul Berry eec56c088e [flow analysis] Mark false branches of trivial is tests unreachable.
When an `is` test is trivially satisfied (i.e. `expr is T`, when the
static type of `expr` is a subtype of `T`), the `is` test is
guaranteed by soundness to evaluate to `true`, so any code path that
follows from the `is` test evaluating to `false` is unreachable.

This reasoning wasn't valid prior to sound null safety, because in
mixed mode programs, it was possible for an expression to evaluate to
`null` even if its static type wasn't nullable, and hence `expr is T`
might evaluate to `false` even if the static type of `expr` was a
subtype of `T`. So this change is gated on the `sound-flow-analysis`
language flag (which is enabled in Dart 3.9).

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.
