Vyacheslav Egorov 8a179fb953 [VM, Compiler] Move compiler to a separate folder.

New folder structure (nested under vm/):

- compiler/
-   jit/         - JIT specific code
-   aot/         - AOT specific code
-   backend/     - all middle-end and back-end code (IL, flow graph)
-   assembler/   - assemblers and disassemblers
-   frontend/    - front ends (AST -> IL, Kernel -> IL)

compiler/README.md would be the documentation root for the compiler
pipeline

Dart VM Compilation Pipeline

This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.

Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.

It has the following structure:

Directory	What goes there
`assembler/`	Assemblers and disassemblers
`backend/`	IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules
`frontend/`	Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL
`jit/`	JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
`aot/`	AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
`.`	Shared code or code without clear designation.

Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
