Paul Berry c4de71ede2 Re-land "Change front_end handling of callable classes."
Original description:
Change front_end handling of callable classes.

This CL is the first in a series of CLs to change the handling of
callable classes in Dart 2.0.

For purposes of this description, a "callable class" is a class whose
interface contains a `.call` method.

In Dart 1.0, a callable class was considered to be a subtype of the
`.call` method's function type.  This allowed the user to create
custom objects with similar behavior to closures, but with additional
fields and methods.

In Dart 2.0, a callable class is just an ordinary class, with no
subtype relation to any particular function type.  (Note however that
it is still permissible for a class to declare that it "implements
Function").

To reduce the amount of code broken by this change, a piece of
syntactic sugar is being added: if an expression whose static type is
a callable class appears where a function type is expected, an
implicit tear-off of the `.call` method is inserted.

Note that it is still possible at compile time to invoke an expression
whose static type is a callable class, and it is still possible at
runtime to invoke an expression whose runtime type is a callable
class; in both cases, this is considered an implicit invocation of the
class's `.call` method.  This is unchanged from Dart 1.0 behavior.

This CL introduces test cases for the new behavior, and implements the
implicit tear-off of `.call` in the front end.

Still to be implemented in future CLs:

- Spec text needs to be written.

- DDC/analyzer code needs to be written to perform implicit tear-offs
  of `.call`.

- The subtyping algorithm in DDC, analyzer, VM, and dart2js needs to
  be changed so that callable classes are no longer considered
  subtypes of any particular function type.

- A small corner case involving type parameters still needs to be
  addressed (see TODO in
  pkg/front_end/lib/src/fasta/type_inference/type_inferrer.dart).

Fixes #32064.
