[flow analysis] Improve how catch clauses are modeled in tests.

This change updates the mini_ast testing infrastructure so that:

- It properly models the "exception type" part of a catch clause (the
  type named after the `on` keyword).

- It requires an exception variable to be specified if there is a
  stack trace variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- It requires an exception type to be specified if there is no
  exception variable (this is required by the Dart grammar).

- During the "pre-visit" stage, the exception variable and stack trace
  variable are registered with the `AssignedVariables` object, so that
  they can be properly handled by type promotion.

- During the main "visit" stage, the exception variable and stack
  trace variable are assigned the appropriate types.

Flow analysis unit tests are updated in order to meet the new
requirements, and flow analysis tests are added to check that stack
trace and exception variables are promotable and appropriately typed.

By ensuring that stack trace and exception variables are properly
typed during flow analysis tests, this paves the way for some
follow-up work, in which I plan to re-work how flow analysis keeps
track of variable types.

There is no behavioral change to the analyzer or compiler pipeline;
these changes are confined to `pkg/_fe_analyzer_shared/test`.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

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).
