[cfe/ffi] Improve FFI call mismatched types compile errors

This CL fixes two issues.

1. `FfiNative`s now check the Dart and native type for compatiblity.
2. Both `FfiNative`, `asFunction`, and `lookupFunction` check the type
   correspondence between native and Dart type with a subtype check of
   the expected Dart type and the provided Dart type. For functions,
   any return type is a subtype of a void type. This is fine for Dart,
   but not for native calls. This CL manually checks the return type
   for void.

This CL does not fix the inconsistency between `asFunction` and
`FfiNative` with regard to allowing more strict return types than
`Object` for `Handle`s

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).
