Ryan Macnak 194951a41f [vm] Remove library lookup caches.
The library name cache is dead.

The library exported name cache is used indirectly through Dart_Invoke etc, and is practically only used for one-shot lookups like `main` or the embedder's startup hooks. The lookups that were worth caching now happen in the Dart frontend instead of the VM.

Cf. b9045af57b

Dart VM Compilation Pipeline

This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.

Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.

It has the following structure:

Directory What goes there
assembler/ Assemblers and disassemblers
backend/ IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules
frontend/ Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL
jit/ JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
aot/ AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
. Shared code or code without clear designation.

Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
