[test_runner]: launch dart2js via 'dart compile js'. We will be deprecating the dart2js script shipped with the sdk under dart-sdk/bin/. This change starts using 'dart compile js' when running dart2js in `useSdk` mode. For host-asserts, we continue to use a helper script that invokes dart2js from sources. We will continue to support this helper script, but it will become an internal only tool. It is a bit confusing that such script lives under sdk/bin/dart2js and sdk/bin/dart2js_developer. We may consider renaming this in a later CL or moving it to a new location (e.g. under tools).

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.
