Support the analysis server compiled as AOT. This change adds a build target (see utils/analysis_server/BUILD.gn) called 'analysis_server_aot'. This new target is _not_ included in the Dart SDK (the create_sdk target). It's "opt-in" "for development." The name of the new output file matches that of other snapshots (see the dartdevc snapshots). Then we do special work in the plugin manager if "we are AOT." An analysis server running as AOT cannot spawn Isolates from a dart source files; we must first compile a dart source file to AOT as well, then we can spawn an Isolate to that AOT file. _Then_ when we run pub, we can no longer rely on using `Platform.executable`. `dartaotruntime pub get` is not a thing. We must instead find the `dart` tool on disk. To do that, we copy some complex discovery code from dartdev.

Need similar work that is done for new plugins. * [x] analysis_server AOT snapshot works at commandline - BROKEN. I think a fair bit of refactoring is required in dartdev lib/src/analysis_server.dart to use `VmInteropHandler.run` or similar.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
