Add `toText` to both Reference and CanonicalName. Change how CanonicalNames are printed through `text_util.dart` to be more aligned with how the corresponding node would be printed had it existed (and the CanonicalName thus normally not been used for printing). Add a test for (some definition of) common cases where printing should be the same wherther done though the node, the reference or the canonical name. Fix usage of toStringInternal in the constant evaluator (though only in use through an experiment) and add a test that showed that the previous output was bad and the new isn't (at least in this case).

Dart Kernel
Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.
The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.
Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.
This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:
- A transformable IR for the kernel language
- Serialization of kernel code
Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.
See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
