[web] delete file_sample_api_test - a flaky and obsolete test.

This test has non-deterministic failures (rate 30% on mac, 10% on linux
and windows) caused likely by a data-race ([example log][1]). The test
has a write to set the contents of a file, and a corresponding read. The
error makes it appear as if the read occurred before the write
completed.

This API is part of the [createWriter][2] proposal, which was abandoned
early on (almost a decade ago) and documented as deprecated. As a result
I believe this test is providing coverage for obsolete functionality.
In fact, the API for the `write` returns void and appears synchronous,
but my guess is that it is not. There is no API to ensure the write
completes as far as I know. An alternative here would be to use timers
to add a significant delay between the operations.

It is also worth noting that the [requestFileSystem][3] API to access
the FileSystem (used here and in the fileapi tests) is also deprecated
and not supported in firefox or safari.

Given the flakiness issue and the fact that this API is already
deprecated, I'm not really seeing the value in keeping the test.

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).
