[vm] `MemoryCopyInstr` optimize constant src and dest start

When constants are passed in to the source and destination start,
no registers are needed for these. The constants are directly compiled
into the machine code. If the constant happens to be 0, no machine
code is emitted at all.

I did not measure any speed improvements. Likely the micro-code
schedulers in the CPUs already noticed the no-ops.

I have verified manually that we emit smaller machine code with
these changes on x64.

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).
