Paul Berry 7436b97ba4 [flow analysis] Allow non-cascaded field accesses to participate in field promotion.
The way this is accomplished is that in
`_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_rightBegin`, any expression
reference associated with the target of the null-aware access is
restored, and the corresponding SSA node is associated with the guard
variable (if any). These changes ensure that if the null-aware access
is a property get, the subsequent call to `propertyGet` will pick up
the appropriate SSA node, so it will be able to locate the promotion
key for the property.

This functionality is only enabled when the language feature
`sound-flow-analysis` is enabled.

To prevent test regressions, a few related changes need to be made at
the same time:

- `_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_end` is changed so that it clears
  any expression info or expression reference that was associated with
  the null-aware access expression. This prevents flow analysis
  information from being erroneously propagated out of a null-aware
  expression, which would have led to assertion failures when
  analyzing null-aware expressions inside of conditional
  expressions. This wasn't previously a problem because the expression
  reference used to be consumed by
  `_FlowAnalysisImpl.nullAwareAccess_rightBegin`, preventing further
  expression references and expression infos from being recorded
  further along in the null-aware access.

- The test framework in `mini_ast.dart` is fixed so that `!` is
  considered to participate in null shorting. This was a bug in the
  test framework that wasn't previously caught because it happened not
  to produce any test failures.

- The analyzer's method `PostfixExpressionResolver._resolveNullCheck`
  is changed so that it calls `nonNullAssert_end` before terminating
  null-aware access. Previously, the order was swapped, causing
  `nullAwareAccess_end` to be called before `nonNullAssert_end` when
  analyzing expressions like `a?.b!`. This used to be benign, but now
  that non-cascaded field accesses participate in field promotion,
  flow analysis needs the methods to be called in the correct order.

FE/analyzer shared code

This package contains logic that is shared between the front_end and analyzer packages. It is intended solely to facilitate development of the Dart SDK, and is not intended for use by end users. In particular, this package has no public API, so no guarantee is made of compatibility between one version of the package and the next.

End users should consider using the analyzer package to analyze Dart source code.
