Paul Berry 2b8411f626 Enable language feature inference-update-2.
This language feature allows type promotion to apply to private final
fields, e.g.:

    class C {
      final int? _x;
      C(this._x);
    }
    f(C c) {
      if (c._x != null) {
        print(c._x.abs()); // (1)
      }
    }

Previously the line marked (1) would have needed to be written
`print(c._x!.abs());`.

Note that to ensure soundness, there are certain restrictions:

- Public fields don't undergo promotion (because a public field might
  be overridden by a class in some other library).

- Non-final fields don't undergo promotion (because a non-final field
  might be modified as a side effect of code executed between the type
  test and the field's usage).

- Fields that are forwarded to `noSuchMethod` in the same library
  don't undergo promotion (because there's no guarantee that
  `noSuchMethod` will return the same value on every invocation). For
  example:

    class C {
      final int? _x;
      C(this._x);
    }
    class D implements C {
      @override
      noSuchMethod(...) => ...;
    }
    f(C c) {
      if (c._x != null) {
        print(c._x.abs()); // ERROR: `c._x` might dispatch to
                           // `D.noSuchMethod`, in which case there's
                           // no guarantee that it will return a
                           // non-null value the second time it's
                           // invoked.
      }
    }

- If two classes define fields or getters of the same name, and
  promotion is not permitted for one of them, then it isn't permitted
  for the other. This is because there might be a class in some other
  library that's a subclass of both classes, causing a reference to
  one field or getter to dispatch to the other. For example:

    class C {
      final int? _x;
      C(this._x);
    }
    class D {
      int? get _x => ...;
    }
    f(C c) {
      if (c._x != null) {
        print(c._x.abs()); // ERROR: `c._x` might dispatch to `D._x`
                           // (e.g. because some library might declare
                           // `class E extends D implements C`), in
                           // which case there's no guarantee that it
                           // will return a non-null value the second
                           // time it's invoked.
      }
    }
