Sam Rawlins d022d4c9e1 Migrator: Fix if-null promotion with GLB
Fixes https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/42375

EdgeBuilder wishes to do its own GLB type-joining, as does FlowAnalysis.
When FlowAnalysis pushes a promotion in ifNullExpression_rightBegin,
and then in write, and then pops those two promotions to join them in
ifNullExpression_end, EdgeBuilder is not given a chance to make its
own GLB node. Instead promotion never happens: the DecoratedType which
is the variable's type is promoted to non-nullable, for the left side.
The DecoratedType for the right side expression is not considered
non-nullable, so the FlowAnalysis.join will always fail to promote.

TypeOperations.adjustPromotedTypes solves this. It is a no-op in all
implementations except in EdgeBuilder.

Additionally FlowAnalysis.write's promotion fails for the same reason:
the only type of interest is the declared type made non-nullable, and
no matter what, the writtenType is not a subtype of this.

TypeOperations.forcePromotion solves this. It is a no-op in all
implementations except EdgeBuilder.

Front end for Dart

This package provides a low-level API for use by compiler back ends that wish to implement the Dart language. It is intended for eventual use by dev_compiler, dart2js, and the Dart VM. In addition, it will share implementation details with the analyzer package--this will be accomplished by having the analyzer package import (and re-export) parts of this package's private implementation.

End-users should use the [dartanalyzer][analyzercli] command-line tool to analyze their Dart code.

Integrators that want to write tools that analyze Dart code should use the [analyzer] package.

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.
