New DART target

Thanks to @lingyv-li, we have a DART target!

Issues fixed

• [Python3] Large import time cost paid for inline unittests ()
• Dart tests fail (target:dart)
• C++20 can not construct a std::string with a UTF-8 encoded string literal ()
• Warning in generated javascript code when using node 14 ()
• Python3 parser generation incorrect by ANTLR 4.7.1 and problem in Parser.py (target:python3)
• PHP target generates invalid output when $ is used as part of the literal in lexer rule (target:php)
• [C++][CMake] find_package() fails when the C++ runtime is make-install'ed ()
• [Go] Generated lexer and parser file names are always in lower case with underscore ()
• Syntax error in antlr4/runtime/Swift/boot.py (target:swift)

Improvements, features

• Avoid stepping through ANTLR generated code when debugging (C#) (target:csharp, type:improvement)
• replace gramamr with grammar (type:improvement)
• Dart Target (target:dart, type:improvement)
