Sigmund Cherem 1bd1d9d320 [dart2js] delete bin/dart2js.dart
This entrypoint is practically unused. We normally use
`lib/src/dart2js.dart` instead.

Long ago it wasn't possible to launch a script from the `lib` folder
without running into import canonicalization issues. However, a few
years ago the VM and CFE now normalize the entrypoints. When we
invoke `pkg/compiler/lib/src/dart2js.dart` it gets treataed as
`package:compiler/src/dart2js.dart`. As a result, we really no
longer had a need to have a separate entrypoint in the `bin` folder
that reexports the other entrypoint.

The only remaining references to this file were from documentation
and a couple unit tests. This CL updates those remaining uses.

The frontend_server package is used by both the flutter command line tool and the frontend_server_client package (used by webdev and package:test).

API Stability

Changes to the command line API or behavior should be tested against the following test suites (in addition to normal HHH testing):

Otherwise these changes will need to be carefully coordinated with the flutter tooling and frontend_server_client teams.

This API stability does not cover any of the source code APIs.

Stable subset

  • The frontend_server kernel compilation and expression evaluation for kernel should be considered "stable".
  • The frontend_server JavaScript compilation is semi-stable, but clients should anticipate coordinated breaking changes in the future.
  • The frontend_server JavaScript expression evaluation is experimental and is expected to change significantly from Dec 2020 through the end of 2021.
  • Specific flags like the --flutter-widget-cache may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable.
