[kernel/CFE] Dill extractor tool; CFE compile dir tool; fixes for stats

This CL adds two tools
* A dill extractor tool which extracts the source files inside the dill
  to a new directory, trying to recrease the package config too so the
  sources can be compiled again. Thought as being useful for doing
  benchmarks between the CFE and the analyzer to make sure they look at
  the exact same source files. No more. No less.
* A CFE compile entry point that compiles all files in a directory.
  Again thought as being useful to compare the CFE with the Analyzer.

Additionally it introduces "--gcs=<int>" to `benchmarker.dart` so it can
do multiple runs and do statistics on combined gc times.

Usage example:

```
$ out/ReleaseX64/dart pkg/front_end/tool/compile.dart pkg/front_end/tool/compile.dart

$ out/ReleaseX64/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/kernel/bin/dill_extractor.dart pkg/front_end/tool/compile.dart.dill /tmp/extracted_compile_dart_compile
Done. Wrote 687 source files.

(note that benchmarker passes `--deterministic` and limits the run to one cpu, both of which (potentially) makes it slower --- which is why the stats say 4.45 s instead of ~3.53 s and 10.74 s instead of ~8.48 s)

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).
