Sam Rawlins ee69f45a1f analyzer: rework AnalysisErrorListener deprecation
Work towards #60635

In this change, we rework the AnalysisErrorListener deprecation to
better support users who have their own class that implements
AnalysisErrorListener. This change introduces a sealed supertype,
DiagnosticOrErrorListener, with the old implementation,
AnalysisErrorListener, and the new implementation, DiagnosticListener,
as its sole direct subclasses. Users who have implemented
AnalysisErrorListener should be able to instead implement
DiagnosticListener, and their class is an acceptable instance of
DiagnosticOrErrorListener, wherever that is needed.

In a breaking change we can drop AnalysisErrorListener and deprecate
DiagnosticOrErrorListener, and in the next breaking change, we can drop
DiagnosticOrErrorListener.

For reference, see the first API difference when deprecating AnalysisErrorListener and introducing DiagnosticListener: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/commit/903d77cc8229972a424941dcb7b7b79741e833eb#diff-dec15868961d7eadcd009f49d129bebcdb747aaa8dbfde5f5a08884e0cf11e32

SDK development code analysis

dartanalyzer used to be the tool for statically analyzing dart code at the command line. However, this tool has been replaced with dart analyze for this purpose in current SDKs and will no longer be published on pub.

Do not depend on the command line interface or other semantics in this directory as it is now an internal tool for SDK development, used as the dart2analyzer "compiler" for tools/test.py in the SDK. It is configured as part of the test runner, here.

SDK development usage

For SDK development, run analysis from the test tool to validate analysis conclusions on language samples in the testing directory. From the root of the SDK:

tools/test.py --build --use-sdk -c dart2analyzer co19 language

This will build the Dart VM and compile dartanalyzer into a snapshot, then use that snapshot while analyzing those directories under testing/. Without --use-sdk, test.py will use the source code version of the analyzer instead of the compiled one, which can be useful for debugging.
