Elements. Move type inference state from fragments to elements.

Store `typeInference` and `typeInferenceError` on
`PropertyInducingElementImpl` instead of on its fragments. There is only
one inference per variable/field, so keeping this state on the element
avoids duplication and ambiguity across fragments, and makes persistence
and comparison straightforward.

This change also persists `typeInferenceError` for fields and top-level
variables in summaries and manifests, so inference cycles and related
errors are stable across sessions and visible to matching/printing.

Key updates:
- Elements: add `typeInference` and `typeInferenceError` to
  `PropertyInducingElementImpl`; resolve `type` via element inference.
- Summary I/O: read/write `typeInferenceError` for field and top-level
  variable elements; bump `DATA_VERSION` to 584.
- Manifests: include `typeInferenceError` in `VariableItem` encoding,
  matching, and pretty printing.
- Linking/inference: produce and attach errors on the element (not the
  first fragment); clear element inference state on detach.
- Resolver/printers: read the error from the element and display it in
  element text output.

Behavior is unchanged for diagnostics, but the error state is now owned
by the element and consistently serialized, which prevents stale or
fragment-dependent mismatches and simplifies reasoning about inference
results.

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).
