Clement Skau 4258a59789 [vm][ffi] Passes FFI handles on stack.
Passing handles in FFI calls has significant overhead due to
how each handle requires a runtime entry to allocate in the
handle scope.

This change removes that runtime entry by relying on the
register allocator to allocate all handle arguments on the stack,
so that we don't need to allocate them separately.
To pass the stack handles to the native call we then pass a pointer
to the stack slot as the native argument.

Testing:
- We already have comprehensive tests for correctness in the form
  of the FFI tests. These make calls with various combinations of
  Handle and non-handle arguments.
- Correct GC behaviour is likewise covered in
  `vmspecific_handle_test.dart` which makes calls with handles
  arguments and triggers GC in-flight.
  In case we do not correctly pass the handles on the stack, the
  GC will trash them during the call.

TEST=Existing.

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).
