[vm/concurrency] Avoid holding the program lock when installing new TTS

When intalling a new TTS stub two fields have to be updated:

    - AbstractType::type_test_stub
    - AbstractType::type_test_stub_entry_point_

Right now the code takes the program lock when updating those two
fields, which is very heavy weight, since this happens very often and
therefore the lock will be contended.

Instead we'll solve the write-write races by ensuring they are applied
using atomics in (any) order - though ensuring that they will be in
sync.

It is fine for them to be out-of sync for a short time, as long as we're
guaranteed that whenever we hit a gc safepoint they are in sync (because GC
might collect old TTS stubs that are not referenced anymore - i.e. we
need to avoid situations where the cached entrypoint is old but the code
pointer is new)

There can be multiple mutators computing and installing a TTS at the same
time, they will try to install in sequence.

=> This reduces the average waiting time on write access to
   program lock by 3x

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).
