[vm/ffi] Introduce `SizedNativeType`

Both `sizeOf` and `AllocatorAlloc.call` use the new type as bound.
This prevents runtime errors on trying to call these two static
methods with unsized native types. All tests testing for these runtime
errors have been deleted.

The `NativeTypes` implementing `SizedNativeType` are as follows:
* The native integer types, `Float`, and `Double`.
* `AbiSpecificInteger` and it's subtypes.
* `Struct` and `Union` and their subtypes. The

The `NativeTypes` not implementing `SizedNativeType` are as follows:
* `Void` has no size.
* `Opaque` and subtypes have unknown size.
* `Handle` is considered opaque. Cannot be used as field in compounds.
* `Array` does not carry a size in its type. Can be used as fields in
  compounds with an annotation specifying the size.
* `NativeFunction` is considered opaque. Would have variable size.
* `VarArgs` is only a marker in function signatures.

`Struct`s and `Union`s can have only `SizedNativeType`s and `Array`s
as fields. Documentation for these is in flux in another CL, so we
should update it there.

This CL also replaces a bunch of `extends NativeType` with
`implements` clauses and made `NativeType` itself `abstract`.

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).
