[vm/fields] Always clone fields when running an optimizing compiler, even when it runs on the mutator thread.

Attempts to run class finalizaton on background thread revealed the problem where during optimization(which could run on mutator thread too) we might need to finalize previously unseen class, load annotatons for it, load and set some constant fields. This could result in updating Fields guarded_cid, requires check during installation of newly produced optimized code. Because mutator thread is currently exempt from cloning and validating fields guards, that could result in invalid optimized code installation.

This CL ensures that fields are always cloned in optimizing compiler even when it runs on mutator thread.

Ability to run multiple optimizing compilers is also needed for dartbug.com/36097.

TEST=existing test suite with ltw isolate groups enabled, https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/176300 mocked up test(still to be improved).

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

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).
