[dart:html] Disallow extending html elements.

This change removes the `.created` constructor in the html
class hierarchy. These classes now only offer public factory
constructors. As a result, developers will no longer be able
to extend these classes in their libraries.

This is a breaking change, however we don't expect there to
be as much use of this feature (extending html element
classes). In particular, the ability to extend html elements
was intended for web components.  Dart only ever supported
the 0.5 spec of web components, which is old and long
deprecated.  Previously, in Dart 3.0, we removed APIs used
to register custom elements from `dart:html`, so the ability
to extend html elements has not been useful since then.

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).
