Alexander Markov 8c63d578a6 [vm] Refactoring: move out classes independent of StreamingFlowGraphBuilder
This change continues refactoring to split kernel_binary_flowgraph and
kernel_to_il and move out parts which have no dependencies on flow graph
construction.

Bytecode reading is moved to a separate file bytecode_reader{.h, .cc}.

Metadata helpers, TypeTranslator, ActiveClass and other Active* are moved
to kernel_translation_helper.

Removed dependency of ICData tags on IL Instruction tags, so ICData objects
can be created by bytecode reader without depending on IL.

Unused AlternativeScriptScope is removed.

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.
