[CFE/kernel/vm] Incremental compiler/serializer and metadata This CL: * Makes the incremental compiler copy over the metadata just created for the libraries compiled into the Component returned. * Preserves metadata when serializing via the incremental serializer. * Fixes loading a multi-component with metadata. * Lets the VM copy all metadata in "_combinePendingDeltas" when there is only one component to "combine". It is generally my view, that to do better, metadata has to be redone (among other things likely has to live on the Library instead). https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/39302 With this CL: ``` rm foo.dill ; tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/frontend_server/bin/frontend_server_starter.dart --no-print-incremental-dependencies --target=vm --sdk-root=out/ReleaseX64 --platform=vm_platform_strong.dill --output-dill=foo.dill --packages=.dart_tool/package_config.json pkg/compiler/lib/src/dart2js.dart tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/vm/bin/dump_kernel.dart foo.dill foo.dump grep "@vm.call-site-attributes" foo.dump | wc -l ``` (i.e. a one-shot compile) prints 9500. ``` rm foo.dill ; tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/frontend_server/bin/frontend_server_starter.dart --incremental --no-incremental-serialization --no-print-incremental-dependencies --target=vm --sdk-root=out/ReleaseX64 --platform=vm_platform_strong.dill --output-dill=foo.dill --packages=.dart_tool/package_config.json pkg/compiler/lib/src/dart2js.dart tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/vm/bin/dump_kernel.dart foo.dill foo.dump grep "@vm.call-site-attributes" foo.dump | wc -l ``` (i.e. an incremental compile but without incremental serialization) prints 9500. and ``` rm foo.dill ; tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/frontend_server/bin/frontend_server_starter.dart --incremental --no-print-incremental-dependencies --target=vm --sdk-root=out/ReleaseX64 --platform=vm_platform_strong.dill --output-dill=foo.dill --packages=.dart_tool/package_config.json pkg/compiler/lib/src/dart2js.dart tools/sdks/dart-sdk/bin/dart pkg/vm/bin/dump_kernel.dart foo.dill foo.dump grep "@vm.call-site-attributes" foo.dump | wc -l ``` (i.e. an incremental compile with incremental serialization) prints 9500. If not deleting the dill file first (which will then initialize from it) metadata might be different though. If there are no changes and the incremental serializer was and is used we should still get `9530` (because the bytes are just copied), but otherwise we might get different results because it's not really possible to otherwise pick-and-choose and/or merge the metadata. TEST=Existing tests that it didn't get worse.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
See LICENSE and PATENT_GRANT.
