[vm] Migrate away from `native 'name'` syntax.
As part of deprecating support for native extensions we are also
migrating away from legacy VM-specific `native 'name'` syntax
towards metadata based encoding which does not require any special
syntax.
This CL is a step 1 in migration:
- introduces support for `@pragma('vm:external-name', 'name')`
which serves as a direct replacement for `native 'name'`;
- all core libraries and tests are migrated to use the annotation;
Once this CL lands and rolls we will edit internal and external embedders
to eliminate uses of the native keyword (step 2) and finally remove
support for native keyword across our parsers (step 3).

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.
