[ffi] Fix callback subtyping test

Previously we were reusing the ensureNativeTypeToDartType function to
check that Dart function passed as a callback matches the native type.
This works if the types exactly match, but the subtyping test is
backwards, so it doesn't allow certain cases that should be allowed. The
main case is that when the native function type returns void, the Dart
function should be allowed to return anything.

So I added ensureDartTypeToNativeType, which reverses the subtype test.

As well as making the return types more permissive, this has also
changed what parameters are allowed to be passed to callbacks. For
example, in tests/ffi/vmspecific_static_checks_typeddata_test.dart:80,
passing a Handle to a function expecting an Int8List used to work, but
is now a compile error. I think this change is an improvement, because
previously it would have been possible to pass any type of object to
that callback. So this change turns some potential runtime type errors
into compile errors. But technically I think this is a breaking change.

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).
