[vm/aot/tfa] Conditional data flow
This change improves type flow analysis by adding conditional data
flow. Now each statement in the data flow summary can have an optional
condition. If a condition is present, then the statement is applied
only if its condition is not a 'false' constant. The condition may
become false as a result of whole-program type and constant
propagation (constant value is an optional property of a concrete
type).
Conditions in the data flow summary are populated from conditions in
the 'if' statements and conditional expressions. Conditions are
propagated down the control flow while building the summary.
For example:
if (x) { return foo(); }
bar();
Call 'foo()' is guarded by condition 'x' and 'bar()' is guarded by
condition '!x'.
Also, a bunch of unary and binary operations are added in order to
represent logical expressions, comparisons with null, 'is' tests and
conditional moves.
This change makes TFA much more sensitive to the control flow.
In order to offset increase in the compilation time due to the
additional condition and operations in the data flow summary,
the following is done:
* Types corresponding to bool constants are canonicalized; condition
checking and logical operations are performed using fast identical
checks.
* Fast identical checks are also added to union and intersection of
types.
* Added more sophisticated simplifications of Join statements.
Along with reduced analysis due to skipped data flow statements with
false conditions, these improvements result in the slightly reduced
compilation time.
AOT compilation time on large Flutter apps (only AOT step 2 / TFA):
App 1: Before: 65.448s After: 62.893s (-3.9%)
App 2: Before: 55.067s After: 52.192s (-5.2%)
AOT snapshot size of large Flutter apps (Flutter release mode, arm64):
App 1: Before: 32910316 After: 32599936 (-0.9%)
App 2: Before: 34464544 After: 34092907 (-1.0%)
Flutter gallery: -1.9%
Performance on micro-benchmark from https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/51630 in AOT mode:
Before: 0.405839
After: 0.172886 (2.3x faster than before, still slower than JIT)

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).
Dart is free and open source.
