[io/file_watcher] Ensure start/stop file watching requests are run on dart thread.

At present start/stop requests are scheduled on RunLoop thread.
This results in deadlocks since same RunLoop thread might be busy
with blocking writes of file watching events, not giving a chance
for Dart to read previously-written events. Reading would unblock
writer.
So this CL moves start/stop requests to run on Dart thread instead.

Fixes https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/45996

TEST=run analysis_server against flutter_gallery github-backed folder, switch between branches and ensure analyze_server remains responsive

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).
