Revert "[vm, compiler] Unoptimized megamorphic calls."

This reverts commit fde6a5917e952149c585ee112b017d632d0de4eb.

Reason for revert: This commit looks to be causing new test failures on dart2js. While there are some odd results on some builders that look like infra failures, some builders (for example, dart2js-minified-strong-linux-x64-d8) show the new failing tests clearly.

Original change's description:
> [vm, compiler] Unoptimized megamorphic calls.
> 
> When an instance call in unoptimized code creates more than FLAG_max_polymorphic_checks cases, switch the call to use a MegamorphicCache instead of ICData. The prevents unbounded collection of type feedback, and gives improvements on microbenchmarks in the 3-8% range for unoptimized code.
> 
> It also leads to a loss of target frequency information for the optimizer, leading to different ordering for range checks in polymorphic inlining. This leads to changes on megamorphic microbenchmarks from -31% to +60%, weighted toward the negative end.
> 
> In practice the frequency information seems unimportant, as dart2js has 4.01% geomean improvement.
> 
> This is a step toward direct monomorphic calls in unoptimized code, which will also make use of the patching and type feedback extraction added here.

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 has 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).
