Sam Rawlins 8d62a1f104 Support the analysis server compiled as AOT.
This change adds a build target (see utils/analysis_server/BUILD.gn)
called 'analysis_server_aot'. This new target is _not_ included in the
Dart SDK (the create_sdk target). It's "opt-in" "for development."

The name of the new output file matches that of other snapshots (see
the dartdevc snapshots).

Then we do special work in the plugin manager if "we are AOT." An
analysis server running as AOT cannot spawn Isolates from a dart
source files; we must first compile a dart source file to AOT as well,
then we can spawn an Isolate to that AOT file.

_Then_ when we run pub, we can no longer rely on using
`Platform.executable`. `dartaotruntime pub get` is not a thing. We
must instead find the `dart` tool on disk. To do that, we copy some
complex discovery code from dartdev.

Manually tested:

* [+] analysis_server JIT snapshot works in IDE.
* [+] analysis_server JIT snapshot works in IDE, with a legacy
      plugin (custom_lint).
* [+] analysis_server JIT snapshot works at commandline.
* [+] analysis_server AOT snapshot works in IDE.
* [x] analysis_server AOT snapshot works in IDE, with a legacy
      plugin (custom_lint) - BROKEN. Need similar work that is done
      for new plugins.
* [x] analysis_server AOT snapshot works at commandline - BROKEN.
      I think a fair bit of refactoring is required in dartdev
      lib/src/analysis_server.dart to use `VmInteropHandler.run` or
      similar.

analysis_server

A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools.

The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code bases as those code bases are changing.

Using the server

The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does not have a human-friendly user interface.

Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The original protocol is specified in the file analysis_server/doc/api.html and Language Server Protocol support is documented in tool/lsp_spec/README.md.
