This CL completes the migration of the first wave of interdependent libraries in package:kernel, including ast.dart. In order to ensure non-nullability on AST properties, the Transformer has been split in 2 variants: Transformer which doesn't support removal of nodes and RemovingTransformer which supports removal where allowed by the context using 'removal sentinels'. Start reviewing Transformer and RemovingTransformer in visitors.dart since many of the changes are caused by the changes here. Included in the migration are the mixin_deduplication.dart and unreachable_code_elimination.dart since these needed porting to the RemovingTransformer which was aided by opting in the libraries which only depended on ast.dart.

Package validation
The packages in pkg/ are automatically validated on the LUCI CI bots. The
validation is largely done by the tools/package_deps package; it can be tested
locally via:
dart tools/package_deps/bin/package_deps.dart
Packages which are published
There are several packages developed in pkg/ which are published to pub.
Validation of these packages is particularly important because the pub tools are
not used for these packages during development; we get our dependency versions
from the DEPS file. Its very easy for the dependencies specified in a package's
pubspec file to get out of date wrt the packages and versions actually used.
In order to better ensure we're publishing correct packages, we validate some properties of the pubspec files on our CI system. These validations include:
- that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
- that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
- that we don't use relative path deps to pkg/ or third_party/ packages
Packages which are not published
For packages in pkg/ which we do not intend to be published, we put the following comment in the pubspec.yaml file:
# This package is not intended for consumption on pub.dev. DO NOT publish.
publish_to: none
These pubspecs are still validated by the package validation tool. The contents are more informational as the pubspecs for these packages are not consumed by the pub tool or ecosystem.
We validate:
- that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
- that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
- that a reference to a pkg/ package is done via a relative path dependency
