[vm,dartdev] Support dynamic linking between libraries

The same bundling that is used for `dart build` is now also used for
`dart test` and `dart run`, except that the output directory is
`.dart_tool/native_assets`. This way all native code assets are placed
next to each other in the `lib` directory, and loaded from there
instead of loading them in place from where the build/link hooks
placed them. By standardizing on this layout the different modes of
running dart code that support native assets can use the same
mechanisms to support dynamic linking between libraries.

On macOS, install names of dylibs are rewritten to support dynamic
linking, similar to the changes in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/153054.

On Windows, loading of DLLs is altered so that the directory of the DLL
that is being loaded is considered when loading dependent DLLs.

Tests are added to verify that dynamic linking works as expected.

TEST=pkg/dartdev/test/native_assets/{build,run,test}_test.dart

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).
