Remove GenericInferrer.considerExtendsClause.

This logic allowed the analyzer to omit consideration of type
parameter bounds during execution of the `matchSupertypeConstraints`
method (which is used for mixin type parameter inference).  I added it
back in 2018 (https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/44220) in
an attempt to fix #32353, however after I made the fix, additional
work by the front end team made it seem like I had probably
misunderstood the issue.  In any case, I've verified with both SDK
trybots and an internal presubmit that removing this logic doesn't
break anything, so I believe it's likely that the bug was later fixed
in a different (and presumably more correct) fashion.

I'm currently doing work on the analyzer's type inference logic, and
GenericInferrer.considerExtendsClause is complicating my efforts, so
it seems reasonable to remove it at this point.

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).
