[vm/concurrency] Ensure VM behaves well if custom embedder uses custom message handler with unlimited number of threads

If a custom embedder does not use the VM's thread pool implementation
(1) but instead installs a custom message handler and invokes that
message handler on possibly unlimted number of threads, those mutator
threads will be constantly fighting to obtain TLABs.

To avoid this, the VM will ensure that only a limited number of mutators
can execute at the same time. The limit is the same as we use for
determining the VM's mutator thread pool.

In order to test this, we simulate such an embedder by disabling the
mutator pool limit, thereby allowing unlimited number of thread pool
workers.
=> The added test would timeout without without the new limit imposed
   by this CL.

(1) Which has a maximum size adjusted based on TLAB size and new space size.

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).
