This change further prepares for the removal of Observatory from the shipped Dart SDK by creating a fork to be used by the remaining Observatory users. This is basically a straight copy of the contents from runtime/observatory with the exception of two new scripts: - `bin/observatory.dart`, a utility to launch Observatory - `bin/activate.dart`, which globally activates `bin/observatory.dart` as `observatory` This change also updates the presubmits to ensure that `runtime/observatory` is effectively placed in read-only mode to prevent any divergences with the fork.

Dart
An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
-
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
