[dart:js_interop] Allow dart:html types in external signatures

Closes https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/54482

This is generally useful for users working around some limitations of
dart:html. While we want to encourage users to use package:web,
dart:html is not available on dart2wasm and users can use dart:html in
other ways already e.g. in an interop extension type, so it doesn't make
sense to disallow this. We also allow type parameters that extend these
types as well.

In order to make this a bit more performant (subtyping checks may be
expensive), code is refactored to cache more readily and separate the
notion of an allowed representation type vs interop extension type. We
also define the notion of a "core" interop type, which will be useful
when we want to efficiently query what interop type users are using
underneath the possible layers of extension types.

A few missing tests around typed_data are added and the error around
invalid types is reworded to include this change and be more consise.

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).
