Subject: Introduce Dart infrastructure for frontend

The Dart programming language is excellent for frontend use. It is
suitable to write command line programs, web interfaces with the builtin
JavaScript transpiler and cross-platform applications with Flutter.

To focus on a small number of languages Dart should now be used for
frontend purposes as Go is used for backend purposes.

Thus it is a valid option to start the migration for Ceres from Go +
JavaScript to Go + Dart.

This commit sets up the infrastructure. A `view/dart/ceres.dart` file is
added together with tooling to transpile to JavaScript, embed it into
the Go executable and serve it. Furthermore the script which just prints
a message to the console is added to every page.

Further commits can move existing code to Dart or add new code in Dart.
