[dart2js] Add closed world proto shaking to Dart2js. Reachability of proto fields is based on the VM's TFA protobuf_handler: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/main/pkg/vm/lib/transformations/type_flow/protobuf_handler.dart In summary: Usages of messages' field accessors are detected and registered. If no accessors for a specific field are used then the field is considered unreachable. In this case the metadata initializer for the field is replaced with a placeholder. Any protobuf messages only reachable from erased metadata initializers are also considered unreachable and are erased. Note: The protobuf library exposes some reflective accessors which this algorithm does not detect usages of. If a field is only accessed reflectively this algorithm will still erase it and therefore users of these reflective accessors should not enable this protobuf shaking. Protobuf shaking is disabled by default so this change will have no immediate effect on compilations.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
