[vm] Introduce immutable maps and sets in backend

This CL introduces immutable maps and sets in the VM backend but does
not yet target them from the frontend. The changes are tested by unit
tests constructing these immutable maps and sets.

This CL introduces immutable variants of the hash map and set in
compact_hash.dart and recognizes them in the VM. The immutable ones
use a different mixin with a different recognized method for accessing
members.
* Data list is an immutable list with a different cid. (Otherwise the
  optimizer notices that immutable and mutable lists cannot be equal.)
* Index is a nullable mutable typed data. (Otherwise optimizer removes
  necessary null checks.)
* Index should use a store-release barrier when written to.

Multiple isolates might lazily compute the index for const sets and
maps. This is fine because all identityHashCodes and hashCodes are
guaranteed to be race-free. The later isolates will override the index
pointer with an identical index.

This CL does not introduce support for using these immutable maps and
sets in AOT (clustered_snapshot) and in messages to other isolates
(message_snapshot) because that is harder to test with unit tests. That
will be added in the follow-up CL.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
