Srujan Gaddam 879046e133 [frontend_server] Refactor usage of module to library bundle
With the new (and eventually, only) module format, we refer
to collections of libraries as bundles rather than modules.
This convention is a better fit as the frontend server
already treats modules as a collection of libraries.

Furthermore, places where we use the word "module" may be
better communicated by using "library bundle import" (the
component URI) or "library bundle name" (the synthesized
name we give library bundles).

This CL leaves usages of modules that are tied to user-facing
flags for clarity, e.g. "module format" and "useDebuggerModuleNames".
It also ignores usages where the intention is very much tied
to a module e.g. when using require.js.

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 may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable.
