[web] do not run most 'pkg' suite on web compilers

Many tests under `pkg`, like `pkg/js_ast` and `pkg/analyzer_cli` are
meant to run as unit tests in the Dart VM. These were also being run in
dart2js and causing flakiness because they took a long time to build on
our CQ.

Locally some of these tests compile in under 5s, but we see the
compile-time vary among the bots a lot. I've observed cases close to 30s
and some that reach the 1-minute timeout cutoff. Flakiness data show
that this is happening between 5-7% of the runs, especially on linux
bots.

This CL stops running these tests on the dart2js configuration by
changing which subset of the `pkg` suite is provided to dart2js. It also
adjusts the .status file to skip a few suites for convenience on local
testing only. This allows developers locally to run `test.py -n... pkg`
without worrying about filtering out skipped suites.

Addendum: after discussions on the CL we decided not to cmpletely drop
coverage of js_ast tests on JS to ensure it can be used in browser
environments in the future. To support this we made made the tests
cheaper by removing the dependency on package:test. They will now only
be run in a single configuration, which is all we need for this purpose.
We can reevaluate and remove this if we continue to see timeouts.

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).
