[vm] Simplify implementation of native ports

This reland commit 5a32d8bc7c5569efde3aec844b7f26d33e1bd86e with a fix
for thread leak (Issue #56717): when `ThreadPool` is shutting down
asynchronously the last worker should detach itself to prevent
leaking associated low-level data structures, because no thread will
join it.

A hang in service isolate shutdown (caused by an existing bug) was fixed by commit 157a0dc7f98be66a32329d097e6fef096ea62d84.

This CL turns native ports into a thin abstraction over underlying
thread pool instead of building them as full fledged MessageHandler.

This allows to easily implement a variation of native ports which can
handle messages concurrently with the given degree of concurrency.
This type of port can be used to greatly simplify implementation of
IOService - which previously had to do its own concurrency management
on top of "single threaded" native ports. This capability is exposed
as `Dart_NewConcurrentNativePort` API.

The new implementation is in general much cleaner then the old one
with one exception: `Dart_CloseNativePort` API has unfortunate design
where underlying message handler is destroyed asynchronously and
`Dart_CloseNativePort` returns immediately without waiting for pending
tasks to complete. Implementing this on top of `ThreadPool` requires
some changes to thread pool implementation.

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).
