Revert "Balance tests equally across shards."

This reverts commit f827eb3a78e3b3ff8352ece9f35ed94b52e1d917.

Reason for revert: The tests being run, and the results being compared to, are changing dramatically, causing all sorts of test results going from [status] -> Skipped and from New Test -> [status].

Something is really going wrong.

Original change's description:
> Balance tests equally across shards.
>
> The sharded test runner invocations are now passed the previous results
> which contains the test timing, which are used to simulate how long each
> shard would take to run. The shards are now balanced as evenly as
> possible on a test level, taking multiple cores into account.
>
> Sharded tests are now run starting with the slowest test first, such
> that extremely long running tests finish as early as possible. This
> behavior ensures the cores are saturated and can be padded with fast
> tests near the end, rather than waiting for a few slow tests to complete
> while the rest of the system is idle.
>
> The algorithm works very well whenever it's able to accurately predict
> the time to run shards. In a number of cases, the model doesn't quite
> reflect reality and the data, which makes it fairly imperfect but still
> reasonably good. I think a second order feedback loop might kick in once
> it reorders the tests across shards and the test timing data reflects
> the new test timings.
>
> Multitests are no longer always sent to the same shard, since the data
> isn't available at the moment, and the change as-is speeds up the test
> running considerably.
>
> The front end unit test suites currently ignore the feature as there are
> no benefits yet to improving those quick shards.
>
> Upgrade the language version to 3.0.0 so patterns can be used and fix
> a mixin not being a mixin.
>
> Fixes: b/291585137

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).
