Previously, the Dart SDK had no support for building standalone executables. The two options were:
Running from source
Running from a binary snapshot tied to a particular VM version
Dart now supports building native ELF (Linux), Mach-O (macOS), PE (Windows) binaries. This drastically simplifies management and deployment of build products.
We should support emitting a standalone binary from dart_vm_binary. Ideally this should be the default, but it would be good to avoid breaking any existing users of the current bundle/snapshot format.
