Fix `Directory.current` setter compatibility with `IOOverrides`

The `Directory.current` setter has a `dynamic` parameter so that it
can accept either `String` or `Directory` arguments. (This is
asymmetric with the getter, which always returns a `Directory`.)

The corresponding `IOOverrides` callback, however, assumes that the
argument is always a `String`, and `Directory.current` passed its
`dynamic` argument through unchanged.  Consequently, overriding
the `Directory.current` setter would result in a `TypeError` when
setting `Directory.current` to a `Directory` object.

Changing `IOOverrides.setCurrentDirectory` to use a `dynamic`
parameter would be a breaking change, so instead make the
`Directory.current` setter check the argument's runtime type before
passing it along.

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).
