[_fe_shared_analyzer] Check supertype before subtypes in exhaustiveness checking

This updates the checking order of the exhaustiveness algorithm to
process the sealed type on its own before checking the subtypes. This
has the benefit that for fields that fully covered by (a supertype of)
the sealed type itself, like a wildcard pattern, we avoid checking
each individual subtype.

For the exponential cases added in
https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/291800
this avoids the exponential growth, bringing the number of checked
witness candidates from 837932 to 6 for the "subtype" test with n = 30 and from 12207032 to 12 for the "fields" test with n = 10.

The change also fixes a problem in the 'future_or_members.dart' caused by the non-null version of 'FutureOr<dynamic>' still being nullable. The old algorithm tried to use 'Object' as a witness canditate but filtered out 'FutureOr<dynamic>' because 'Object' wasn't a subtype if it. The new algorithm starts by using 'Object?' and therefore sees that 'FutureOr<dynamic>' exhausts it. This is an inherent problem in the modelling of StaticType and it should still be addressed.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

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).
