[dart2wasm] Optimize dartify type-checks

dartifyRaw type-checks are currently a bunch of if
cases where the check is done in JS. Instead of going
back and forth between runtimes, we can do the checks
in JS and return an enum value.

- Replaces the if cases with a externRefType method that
returns an integer that maps to some static const values.
Dart enums are slower so consts are preferred. Speeds up
type-checks by 4-5x and dartifyRaw by 1.1-1.8x for common
types using some quick local benchmarks. Also moves the
array check up as it's more common and groups the typed
array checks together.
- Reuses the externRefType helper in dartify so we don't
type-check the same value twice.
- Moves some tests from basic_test.dart to jsify_dartify_test.dart
and adds more type-checks, casts to assert types, cleans
up property getters, and adds a few missing cases.

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).
