Konstantin Shcheglov 41b05c8984 CQ. Rewrite identifiers resolving to types into TypeLiteral nodes
Modify the AST rewriting phase to transform `SimpleIdentifier` and
`PrefixedIdentifier` nodes into `TypeLiteral` nodes when they resolve to
a type (such as classes, type aliases, `dynamic`, or `Never`) and appear
within a value expression slot.

This change ensures a more consistent AST representation where type
references used as values are distinct from other identifiers.

Key changes include:
- Generating `isInValueExpressionSlot` methods for AST nodes to identify
  valid contexts for type literals.
- Updating `AstRewriteVisitor` to perform the conversion.
- Adjusting constant evaluation, completion, and linter rules to support
  `TypeLiteral` nodes in expression contexts.
- Adding comprehensive resolution tests for type literals in assignments,
  conditionals, loops, and other structures.

pub package package publisher

A framework for building plugins for the analysis server.

Warning

This package is for legacy support and is not recommended for new plugin development.

For modern plugin implementations, use the analysis_server_plugin package instead.

See its documentation for the latest architecture and examples.

Usage

Note: The plugin support is not currently available for general use.

Plugins are written in Dart and are run in the same VM as the analysis server. The analysis server runs each plugin in a separate isolate and communicates with the plugin using a plugin API. This API is similar to the API used by the analysis server to communicate with clients.

Plugins are automatically discovered and run by the analysis server.

This package contains support code to make it easier to write a plugin. There is a tutorial describing how to use the support in this package.
