Additional improvements to `inference-update-3` tests.

This CL makes the following improvements (suggested in the code review
of https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/356303):

- Add parenthetical comment "(Testing this case here. Otherwise
  continued below.)", to reduce confusion for a reader reading the
  tests for the first time.

- In all test cases using a promotable variable `o`, declare `Object?
  o;` first, then assign `o = ... as Object?;`. This makes the test
  cases more symmetrical, since `o = ... as Object?;` now appears in
  every test case, rather than getting coalesced with the variable
  declaration in some test cases but not others.

- Consistently use `e` rather than `E` to refer to the whole
  expression being tested.

- Expand on the explanation for how each test case matches up to the
  type metavariables K, T1, T2, etc., and why the expected result
  occurs.

- Remove tickmarks around type metavariables.

- Clarify that the type S is chosen, rather than T, only when the
  feature is enabled.

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).
