[analyzer] Enforce diagnostic argument types at runtime.

A mechanism is added to allow the types of diagnostic arguments to be
checked at runtime. This mechanism is enabled for all analyzer
diagnostic codes except for syntactic errors (since those are
generated by the shared parser using the CFE's argument substitution
mechanism, which is already strongly typed).

To avoid introducing backwards incompatibilities to analyzer clients,
the types are only checked at runtime if the diagnostic code
implements the new `DiagnosticCodeWithExpectedTypes` interface.

The expected types are determined by the type annotations in the
`messages.yaml` file. These are the same type annotations used in the
new literate API for diagnostic error reporting. So this should ease
the transition into the new literate API, which will make any such
type errors into compile-time errors.

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).
