Provide both aot and jit performance for Dart

[ChristianKleineidam]

Dart includes both a Dart VM with just-in-time (JIT) compilation and an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler for producing machine code. It would be great if both modes would be in the benchmarks.

As I understand, dart compile exe output is equivalent to dart compile aot-snapshot output + self-contained dartaotruntime, and dart compile jit-snapshot does not work for some of the programs

[ChristianKleineidam]

I asked on Flutters Discord and according to them the answer of how you get the jit is:

the "jit" benchmark would just be running the programs using the dart command
The AOT benchmark would be to do what hanabi describes. You can either use the exe or make a aot-snapshot and run it with the dartaotruntime. Both solutions here gives the same result.
