[ddc] support library cycles in the new module format.

We'd like to properly support cases like:

```
a.dart:
  import 'b.dart';
  class A extends B {}
  class C {}

b.dart:
  import 'a.dart'
  class B extends C {}
```

Here both A and B will request a reference to the other during
linking.

We break the cycle by storing libraries in the map after they are
initialized, but before we recursively link them. Now an access to a
library proxy has different guarantees:
* during linking, it guarantees to return an intialized library.
* during program execution, it guarantees to return a linked
  library.

Aside from this change, this CL does a minor change to the logic on
`hotReloadEnd` to not change the state of the `libraries` array on a
hot-reload. This change is technically not necessary, but may help us
more clearly track the invariants of the library map: the new logic
keeps updates to the map monotonic over time.

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).
