[dartdev] `dart install`

This CL adds three new commands to `dart`:

```
Global
  install     Install a Dart CLI tool for global use.
  installed   List globally installed Dart CLI tools.
  uninstall   Remove a globally installed Dart CLI tool.
```

These commands are intended to replace `dart pub global` subcommands
while adding support for `hook/build.dart` and building packages in
AOT instead of running them with JIT.

Internal design doc: http://go/dart-install-cli.

Implementation details:
* The source of truth is the state of the file system. These commands
  write and read directories, files, and symlinks.
* App bundles and symlinks are placed in `DART_DATA_HOME` as per
  http://go/dart-data-home.
* On Unix systems we use symlinks and on Windows batchfiles to place
  executables in the bin directory that point to an application
  bundle. (These OS differences have been encapsulated in a single
  class.)
* On Windows, when an application is running, trying to re-install it
  will fail.

Test coverage:
* Installing from hosted, git, and local paths.
* Installing a package with hooks.
* Installing a package with hooks and user-defines.
* Surfacing build hook failures during install.
* Installing packages with conflicting executables names. This tests
  `--overwrite` flag behavior.
* Installing a new or the same version, this should simply succeed.
* A warning is shown if the bin directory is not on the `PATH`.
* Running an installed app reports the correct exit code on exit.
* Listing all installed versions, including the versions not on
  the`PATH`.
* Uninstalling, which uninstalls all versions.
* Re-installing while it is running.
* Uninstalling while it is running.

Out of scope for initial version:
* Saving the SDK version (to display in `dart installed`).
* Short-circuiting if re-installing an exactly installed version.

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).
