Extend HeapSnapshotGraph API to support incoming references in package:vm_service
Currently the HeapSnapshotGraph represents the objects in the Dart VM
heap and how they relate to each other. They effectively form a directed
graph with a specific root node.
The API does allow traversing the graph by following an object's
outgoing references.
Though in certain situations it can be very useful to know the set of
objects referencing a given object (i.e. incoming references).
This CL adds such support, thereby allowing traversing edges in both
directions: Finding what an object references and who references an
object.
When loading a snapshot we therefore have to also compute the reverse
edges and store them. To offset any additional computation time and
memory consumption, we optimize the existing implementation by not using
growable List<int> objects for outgoing edges but rather typed-data
views into the existing Uint32List of edges.
Due to this optimization we make loading of snapshot faster and smaller,
in a simple benchmark we seem to get:
* JIT: 10% faster, 40% less RAM
* AOT: 30% faster, 40% less RAM
despite the additional compute & data structures of this API.

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).
