[kernel] Shift up specialized kernel tags

Before this CL kernel tags had specialized tags that was marked by the
single high bit, then using the three lowest bits for a value:

128 + value = 0b10000xxx
136 + value = 0b10001xxx
144 + value = 0b10010xxx

So the numbers from 128 to 151 is taken by this scheme, but because of
the high bit marking stuff being special we can't really use 152-256.

This CL shifts the specialized tags up so it instead uses the 3 highest
bits as a marker while still using the lower 3 bits for the value:

224 + value = 0b11100xxx
232 + value = 0b11101xxx
240 + value = 0b11110xxx

This takes up 224-247 and leave 248-255 unused. It would let us use
128-223 though.
(If we eventually need more we can probably remove one of the
specialized ranges (SpecializedVariableSet isn't used very much in
previously sampled dill files) and use 4 bits for tagging).

Additionally, a tool to print free tags has been added (via binary.md),
and the "binary version is in sync with VM" test has been prepared
for version > 99.

TEST=Existing tests.

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).
