[VM] Bare instructions - Part 4: Add --use-bare-instructions flag to AOT compiler & runtime
This is the final CL which adds a new --use-bare-instructions flag to
the VM.
If this flag is set during AOT compilation, we will:
* Build one global object pool (abbr: GOP) which all code objects
share. This gop will be stored in the object store. The PP register
is populated in the enter dart stub and it is restored when
returning from native calls.
* Gets rid of the CODE_REG/PP slots from the dart frames. Instead the
compiled code uses the global object pool, which is always in PP.
* Starts emitting pc-relative calls for calls between two dart
functions or when invoking a stub.
Limitation: We only emit pc-relative calls between two code objects
in the same isolate (this is because the image writer is writing
instruction objects for vm-isolate/main-isolate seperately)
* We do compile-time relocation of those static calls after the
precompiler has finished its work, but before writing the snapshot.
This patches all the instruction objects with pc-relative calls to
have the right .text distance.
* We emit a sorted list of code objects in ObjectStore::reverse_code_table,
which will be used by the AOT runtime to go back from PC to Code
objects (where all metadata, e.g. stack maps, catch entry moves, pc
descriptors are available).
