Paul Berry 7a5c71ba05 [frontend_server] Migrate to new constructor decl syntax.
(Part of https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/63288)

This change migrates the frontend_server package to use the new
constructor declaration syntax, described in
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob/main/accepted/future-releases/primary-constructors/feature-specification.md#abbreviations-of-in-body-constructor-declarations.

This change was performed in an automated fashion, by (a) bumping the
package's SDK constraint to `3.13.0-0`, (b) enabling the lints
`unnecessary_type_name_in_constructor` and
`unnecessary_const_in_enum_constructor`, (c) fixing the resulting lint
failures using `dart fix`, and then (d) reformatting the affected
files.

To ease code review, I've reverted unrelated formatting changes.

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.
