  1. New API with per-platform properties. 

    The `Platform.current` object exposes one (or potentially more)
of a `NativePlatform` (based on `dart:io`) or `BrowserPlatform`
(based on JS `window.navigator` or anything else relevant).

Each has its own API, and the current platform determines
whether a value of these types is available or not.
On unsupported platforms, a value is just `null`.

Provides a `testing.dart` library which exposes
`FakeNativePlatform` and `FakeBrowserPlatform`,
which are customizable classes that can be used for testing.
It's possible to run code with such a fake value as
the *current* platform (`Platform.current` is temporarily
updated to a value which exposes the, fx, `FakeNativePlatform`
as its `Platform.nativePlatform`).

Still retains the legacy and deprecated API that makes
native properties directly available on `Platform`.
Code should migrate to the new API by doing:
* `const LocalPlatform()` → `Platform.current.nativePlatform!`
* `new FakePlatform()` → `new FakeNativePlatform()`

It's currently not possible to have more than one
non-`null` platform-value.
Platforms are detected by the presence of the `dart:io` and `dart:js_interop`
libraries, and no current platform has both.
When such a platform exists, the code will need to be adapted to to produce
*both* (possible using conditional imports or conditional parts
and augmentations).
