Reland "[vm] Hide internal implementation List types and expose them as List"

This is a reland of 824bec596f522769bdee75c4d8b9dea785b685b5

Original change's description:
> [vm] Hide internal implementation List types and expose them as List
>
> When taking a type of an instance with x.runtimeType we can map
> internal classes _List, _ImmutableList and _GrowableList to a
> user-visible List class. This is similar to what we do for
> implementation classes of int, String and Type.
> After that, result of x.runtimeType for built-in lists would be
> compatible with List<T> type literals.
>
> Also, both intrinsic and native implementations of _haveSameRuntimeType
> are updated to agree with new semantic of runtimeType.

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).
