[vm/compiler/nnbd] Add slow path for loads of late fields without initializer

When loading a late field without initializer, we check if it was not
initialized and throw an exception. This change adds slow path (shared
if supported) for throwing LateInitializationError instead of calling
an initializer which would throw an exception. This improves register
allocation around accesses to such late fields.

In addition, this CL removes duplicated code for generating shared
stubs.

Size of Flutter gallery snapshot on armv8 -0.45%
(gzip -0.34%, brotli -0.41%)

Null-safe version of ParticleSystemUpdate benchmark on x64
JIT +9-17%, AOT +3-4%.

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).
