Dart SDK launch steps

Make these updates

• If doc changes have occurred, update text and examples to reflect the new release.
• Once the stable build is uploaded, update the checksum values in the Dockerfile following the Dart SDK and Node PPA Checksum values instructions.
• Update the What's new and Language evolution pages
• Update the SDK version in src/_data/pkg-vers.json. The SDK version is visible in https://dart.dev/tools/sdk and used in links to API docs (via {{site.data.pkg-vers.SDK.channel}}. For an example, see PR #2462.
• Add a banner to point to the release announcement. For an example of adding the banner, see PR #1234.
• If necessary, update the min SDK in examples' pubspec.yaml files.
• Update the Wikipedia page to display the new release number.

Don't make these updates

• The SDK version used by repo tools. This is controlled by the topmost pubspec.yaml. Unless you're updating the tools, there's no need to update this.

Test the proposed SDK release

1. Verify you have updated the checksums as outlined in the Dart SDK and Node PPA Checksum values instructions.

2. From the root directory, run the build with tests:

   $ make test
