Remove the need to have a Store for an InstancePre (#5683)
* Remove the need to have a `Store` for an `InstancePre` This commit relaxes a requirement of the `InstancePre` API, notably its construction via `Linker::instantiate_pre`. Previously this function required a `Store<T>` to be present to be able to perform type-checking on the contents of the linker, and now this requirement has been removed. Items stored within a linker are either a `HostFunc`, which has type information inside of it, or an `Extern`, which doesn't have type information inside of it. Due to the usage of `Extern` this is why a `Store` was required during the `InstancePre` construction process, it's used to extract the type of an `Extern`. This commit implements a solution where the type information of an `Extern` is stored alongside the `Extern` itself, meaning that the `InstancePre` construction process no longer requires a `Store<T>`. One caveat of this implementation is that some items, such as tables and memories, technically have a "dynamic type" where during type checking their current size is consulted to match against the minimum size required of an import. This no longer works when using `Linker::instantiate_pre` as the current size used is the one when it was inserted into the linker rather than the one available at instantiation time. It's hoped, however, that this is a relatively esoteric use case that doesn't impact many real-world users. Additionally note that this is an API-breaking change. Not only is the `Store` argument removed from `Linker::instantiate_pre`, but some other methods such as `Linker::define` grew a `Store` argument as the type needs to be extracted when an item is inserted into a linker.
