[dart2js] Add phase 1 kernel transformer to simplify const conditionals.
Suppose we have code like
if (isDevMode) {
// do foo
} else {
// do bar
}
where isDevMode is const (or can be evaluated as const). In particular,
isDevMode can be controlled by compile-time options, like
bool.fromEnvironment.
We currently eliminate the dead branch during SSA, but that means we do
the work of compiling dead code in the previous phases. Instead, we can
recognize that the condition is const (or effectively const) and
eliminate the dead AST subtree directly.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
