Previously JS IR versions of stdlib and kotlin-test were build
by default using compiler previously built on a buildserver.
It had some issues:
- This required us to advance bootstrap every time we made any
incompatible IR changes. This happens often since IR ABI is
not quite stable yet.
- We never tested the exact combination of compiler and stdlib we publish
We tested:
- new compiler with new stdlib build by new compiler (in box tests)
- old compiler with new stdlib build by old compiler (in stdlib tests)
We published:
- new compiler with new stdlib build by old compiler
After this change JS IR compiler tests, builds and publishes
single configuration:
new compiler with new stdlib build by new compiler
JS IR stdlib and kotlin-test are now built using JavaExec of CLI instead
of Gradle plugin to avoid troubles of loading a freshly built plugin.
This also allows to have a granular dependencies: we don't rebuild klib
if we changed a lowering in a compiler backend, but we do rebuild it if
we changed IR serialization algorithm.
