Kernel need way to specify what other kernel files it requires to load

[jensjoha]

E.g. #35866 is likely caused by a mis-match between the expected and actual platform loaded.
If the dill file knew - for instance - a checksum of the platform it assumed, we could check that the expected and actual platform was the same and discard if it isn't.

issue #37043 and all the issues marked as duplicate in that issue seem to be related. Considering the number of times we seem to have run into this issue I am marking this as p1-high

@kmillikin - can you please take a look, as this is happening frequently on version upgrades?

[dgrove]

The plan is to suppress this warning for D24 - CL is out here: https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/104825

[jensjoha]

Temporary fix landed as 5eff2a0.

[kmillikin]

The warning should be disabled for compiling against an app that includes an outdated platform. Somehow fixing the underlying issue is getting moved to the next Dart release.

@jensjoha Is there more work left here?

[jensjoha]

Well, it haven't exactly been fixed with a list of checksums for other required dills, but for the platform specifically it should have been fixed with #41802 --- let's say that's good enough.
