Initial infrasturucte for sharing type analysis logic.

This change introduces the mixin TypeAnalyzer, which is intended to be
mixed into analyzer and front end classes to provide shared logic for
type analysis of Dart code.  This work is currently experimental, and
not hooked up to the analyzer or front end, but the eventual hope is
that it can replace the logic that's currently duplicated between the
analyzer's ResolverVisitor and the front end's InferenceVisitorImpl.
A secondary goal of introducing this code is to allow some of the
static consequences of the patterns proposal to be explored now, even
before parser support is finished.

To avoid introducing additional code duplication while the project is
in this experimental phase, I'm going to attempt to restrict myself as
much as possible to prototyping functionality that is not yet
implemented in the analyzer or front end.  This initial CL is an
exception; it introduces the method `analyzeIntLiteral`, which
duplicates logic that already exists in both the front end and
analyzer that analyzes integer literals.  I'm doing this because it's
just complex enough to serve as a validation of the basic approach,
and because integer literals will be handy in writing test cases for
the expanded switch functionality in the patterns proposal, which I
plan to work on next.

Although the code is not used in the analyzer or front end yet, it is
unit tested in isolation, and it's integrated into the existing flow
analysis unit tests.

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).
