[flow analysis] Simplify handling of post increment/decrement. This change makes two changes to how flow analysis works for post increment/decrement operations. Firstly, in the anaylzer implementation, the check against `inference_update_4` is removed. Previously, the analyzer called `FlowAnalysis.postIncDec` when `inference_update_4` was enabled, and `FlowAnalysis.write` when it was disabled. This was unnecessary, since that language feature had no effect on the flow analysis of post increment/decrement. Furthermore, it was a violation of separation of concerns, because even if that language feature _had_ had an effect on the flow analysis of post increment/decrement, it would have been the job of flow analysis to implement that effect, not the client. Fortunately, `FlowAnalysis.write` happens to have the same behavior as `FlowAnalysis.postIncDec` when `inference_update_4` is disabled, so there is no behavioral change; this is purely a clean-up. Secondly, the return type of `FlowAnalysis.postIncDec` is changed from `ExpressionInfo?` to `void`, and the calls to `storeExpressionInfo` are removed from call sites. Previously, `FlowAnalysis.postIncDec` always returned `null`, so again, there is no behavioral change. Note that these changes do not affect the front_end in any way, since it de-sugars `x++` and `x--` to equivalent "let" expressions before invoking flow analysis. Those let expressions, fortunately, have the same flow analysis effect as `FlowAnalysis.postIncDec`. Thanks to the test added in https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/482342, we have enough language test coverage to confirm this.

Dart is:
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
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).
Dart is free and open source.
