[vm] Disentagle PortMap/MessageHandler from port status tracking

The main purpose of the low-level [PortMap] is to coordinate between
ports being opened & closed and concurrent message senders. That's the
only thing it should do.

Each isolate owns [ReceivePort]s. Only the isolate mutator can create
ports, delete them or change their "keeps-isolate-alive" state. Right
now it requires going via [PortMap] (which acquires lock) and
[MessageHandler] (which acquires lock) to change the
"keeps-isolate-alive" state of a port.

We'll move information whether a dart [ReceivePort] is closed and
whether it keeps the isolate alive into the [ReceivePort] object itself.

=> Changing the "keeps-isolate-alive" state of the port no longer
requires any locks. We could even avoid the runtime call itself in a
future CL.

Isolates are kept alive if there's any open receive ports (that have not
been marked as "does not keep isolate alive"). This is a property of an
isolate not of the message handler. For native message handlers we do
have a 1<->1 correspondence between port and handler (i.e. there's no
"number of open ports" tracking needed).

=> We'll move the logic of counting open receive ports and ports that
keep the isolate alive to the [Isolate].
=> We'll also remove locking around incrementing/decrementing or
accessing the counts.
=> The [IsolateMessageHandler] will ask the [Isolate] whether there's
any open ports for determining whether to shut down.
=> For native ports, the `Dart_NewNativePort()` & `Dart_CloseNativePort()`
functions will manage the lifetime (as their name also suggests).

Overall this makes the [Isolate] responsible for creation of dart
[ReceivePort]s and tracking whether the isolate should be kept alive:
  * Isolate::CreateReceivePort()
  * Isolate::SetReceivePortKeepAliveState()
  * Isolate::CloseReceivePort()

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).
