[analyzer] Move switch expression resolution into ResolverVisitor.

The analyzer uses two different mechanisms to visit expressions during
resolution:

- `Expression.accept` (which defers to `ResolverVisitor.visit...`
  methods using the standard visitor infrastructure), and

- The abstract method `ExpressionImpl.resolveExpression` (which is
  implemented in every expression type).

The `Expression.accept` approach doesn't support contexts, so it is
only used when the context is the unknown type schema (`_`).

(The reason there are two approaches is largely a historical accident,
and I hope one day to unify them into a single approach. But that's
not the subject of this change.)

Prior to this change, the resolution logic for most expression types
was in the `visit...` method, and the corresponding
`resolveExpression` method did nothing but call `visit...`. But there
was one exception: for switch expressions, the resolution logic was in
`resolveExpression`, and the corresponding `visit...` method called
`analyzeExpression` (which then called `resolveExpression`).

This change moves the resolution logic for switch expressions into the
`visit...` method, and changes the corresponding `resolveExpression`
method to call `visit...`. This makes switch expression resolution
consistent with all other expression types, which should make the
resolution logic easier to reason about.

There should be no functional change.

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).
