Paul Berry a226405a70 [flow analysis] Improve how catch clauses are modeled in tests.
This change updates the mini_ast testing infrastructure so that:

- It properly models the "exception type" part of a catch clause (the
  type named after the `on` keyword).

- It requires an exception variable to be specified if there is a
  stack trace variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- It requires an exception type to be specified if there is no
  exception variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- During the "pre-visit" stage, the exception variable and stack trace
  variable are registered with the `AssignedVariables` object, so that
  they can be properly handled by type promotion.

- During the main "visit" stage, the exception variable and stack
  trace variable are assigned the appropriate types.

Flow analysis unit tests are updated in order to meet the new
requirements, and flow analysis tests are added to check that stack
trace and exception variables are promotable and appropriately typed.

By ensuring that stack trace and exception variables are properly
typed during flow analysis tests, this paves the way for some
follow-up work, in which I plan to re-work how flow analysis keeps
track of variable types.

There is no behavioral change to the analyzer or compiler pipeline;
these changes are confined to `pkg/_fe_analyzer_shared/test`.

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. It's very easy for the dependencies specified in a package's pubspec file to get out of date wrt the packages and versions actually used.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

Adding new packages

Run gclient sync to re-generate .dart_tool/package_config.json after adding a new package.

Testing packages

Currently dart test can't be used to run the tests, use test.py as usual. E.g. the command ./tools/test.py -n...<path> runs all tests with prefix <path>.
