[vm/compiler] Revise heuristic for huge methods

Previously, compiler looked at the size of Dart source code when
deciding that the method is huge and needs to be compiled
with less optimizations. That size includes comments and nested
closures, so it is very inaccurate and the heuristic had
false positives seen in practice.

This change revises the heuristic to look at number of kernel
AST nodes, which are counted during building of flow graph.

This change also introduces --print_huge_methods option which
shows the warning if method is huge and compiled with less
optimizations.

TEST=manually verified that huge method from
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/94461 is printed
when --print_huge_methods option is specified.

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).
