Lock "unreachable via this" tests to language version 3.1. When these tests were written (https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/178880), Dart did not support field promotion. I was getting ready to add "why not promoted" logic to flow analysis so that if a user tried and failed to promote a field, and received an assignability error as a result, they would receive a helpful error message explaining that field promotion was not supported. In order to generate this error message, flow analysis would have to start keeping track of some *counterfactual* promoted types, indicating what the type of certain expressions *would have been* if field promotion had been supported. It was important to make sure that these counterfactual promoted types were only used for error message generation, and didn't actually change Dart semantics. So I wrote these tests to help lock down the existing (non-promotion) behavior. When field promotion was actually implemented in Dart 3.2, these tests should have been given `@dart=3.1` annotations, since their purpose was to validate the correct behavior of the implementation in situations where field promotion *wasn't* enabled. I should have been prompted to do this by a test failure, because when I enabled field promotion by default in Dart 3.2, the behavior of the tests should have changed. However, because of https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/4127, the behavior didn't change, so I didn't notice that these tests needed updating. Now, I'm getting ready to fix https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/4127, so in order to prepare for that, I need to give these tests the proper `@dart=3.1` annotations.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
