[vm/ffi] `address` of operator for FFI leaf calls

During FFI leaf calls, the Dart GC will not run. This means that we
can pass pointers into `TypedData` to FFI calls that take `Pointer`
arguments.

After this CL, we have three types of arguments that can flow into
`Pointer` argument in an FFI call:
* `Pointer`.
* `TypedData`: Any typed data including views.
* `_Compound`: A TypedData/Pointer and an offset in bytes.

The is only possible for `@Native external` functions, `asFunction`
does not support passing in `TypedData`. (See related GitHub issues
for discussion. TLDR: FFIgen should generate bindings without config.)

`.address` expressions on `TypedData` and `Array` elements do _not_
introduce bounds checks, even though `TypedData` and `Array` have
bounds information. E.g. `ffiNative(Uint8List(10)[20].address)` does
not throw.

Implementation details:

The CFE analyzes call-sites to `@Native external` functions. If the
arguments are `.address` expressions, it transforms the call site to
pass the compound or `TypedData`. If an additional offset needs to be
applied, the CFE constructs a new `_Compound` with the correct offset
in bytes.

The CFE then also creates a new `@Native external` function which have
`TypedData`s and `_Compound`s parameters. To avoid name clashes, these
functions are postfixed with `#` and `P`, `T`, or `C` for each Pointer
parameter.

TEST=pkg/vm/testcases/transformations/ffi/address_of_*

In the VM, `TypedData` arguments are passed as tagged values, and the
address is loaded inside the `FfiCallInstr`. `_Compound` arguments
turn into two IL definitions, one for the `TypedDataBase` (tagged),
and one for the offset in bytes (unboxed). The address is then loaded
inside the `FfiCallInstr` and the offset in bytes is applied.

Adding the offset in bytes required an extra temp register for ia32.
Also, it uncovered that the temp register in arm32 was conflicting
with the argument registers. However, TMP should suffice instead.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

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).
