[cfe,dart2js,dartdev] Show null safety mode for `dart compile`

This adds a new messages kind 'info' to the CFE for showing general
information during compilation. A 'configuration' options is added
to `CompilerOptions` for telling the CFE how it is run.

The configuration 'compile' is added for when the CFE is invoked to
produces an "executable" as when running `dart compile`. When
configuration is set, the CFE emits an info message about the
null safety compilation mode.

Support for `dart compile exe` and `dart compile js` is added in this
CL. Support for `dart compile kernel|app-jit|aot` is not included.

In response to https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/44234

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).
