[vm] Make _CastError.{_url,_line,_column} nullable fields

The ! operator causes _CastErrors to be thrown without the
_CastError.{_url,_line,_column} fields to be set (see
runtime/vm/runtime_entry.cc:NullErrorHelper).

This CL makes the fields nullable. An alternative would be to remove the
fields entirely since the fields are not used and the position of the
failed null check is visible from top frame in the stack frame as well.

Though the fields are visible in the debugger and there are other
situations where they are correctly set (e.g. in type errors that cause
_CastError to be thrown). To avoid changing this behavior, we make them
nullable.

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).
