[ddc] Creating a hot reload and hot restart test suite.

The hot reload runner currently only supports d8, but I plan to add support for Chrome and VM execution.

Notable changes:
* Creates `package:reload_test` with helpers for running this suite.
* Updates the module loader with D8-specific branches and hooks for hot reload/restart.
* Exposes DDC runtime variables via a `HotReloadTestRuntime` API.
* Ports constant equality hot restart tests from webdev/dwds (validated to fail if either cache-clearing mechanism fails).
* Partially rolls DDC's d8 preamble forward (towards dart2js's).
* Wraps D8's timer implementation with custom timeout logic to better match Chrome's timing semantics when executing with native JS async.

Tests for the framework and matrix updates will be added in an upcoming change.

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).
