Flow analysis: fix scrutinee promotion for fields.

Prior to this change, the SSA node stored in `PromotionModel.ssaNode`
was only correct for promotion models that represented variable
references. If a promotion model represented a promotable field, its
`ssaNode` pointed to a bogus SSA node. This had two undesirable
effects:

- It meant that `FlowModel.rebaseForward` needed to contain a hack to
  prevent it from looking at the bogus SSA node for a promotable
  field, and falsely concluding that the field's value had been
  reassigned (which is impossible for promotable fields)--see
  https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/321752.

- It meant that if a promotable field was used as a scrutinee in a
  refutable pattern match, the promotion logic would look at the bogus
  SSA node for the field, and falsely conclude that its value had been
  reassigned, preventing field promotion from working during pattern
  matching.

This change ensures that the correct SSA node is always stored in
`PromotionModel.ssaNode`, and removes the hack in
`FlowModel.rebaseForward`. This required some re-ordering some of the
logic for control flow joins, to ensure that when a join creates a
fresh promotion model for a property, it has already created the
corresponding `_PropertySsaNode` (previously, it created the
`_PropertySsaNode` afterwards, but that is too late since the
`PromotionModel` class is immutable).

Unit tests and language tests are introduced to validate the newly
fixed behavior for promotable fields used as a scrutinee in a
refutable pattern match.

Also, the uses of `FlowModel.infoFor` in queries such as
`getMatchedValueType`, `isAssigned`, `isUnassigned`, and
`promotedType` were changed to simple map lookups, to prevent bogus
SSA nodes from being created and then immediately discarded. This
resulted in a fairly significant boost to CFE compilation speed:

  page-faults:u: -1.2664% +/- 0.1535% (-2531.33 +/- 306.73)
  instructions:u: -0.6210% +/- 0.0009% (-119891846.00 +/- 180585.35)
  branches:u: -0.6765% +/- 0.0014% (-26637478.67 +/- 54272.64)
  branch-misses:u: -0.9562% +/- 0.8909% (-548444.00 +/- 510991.65)

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).
