Start a high-level architecture document for Wasmtime (#3019)

* Start a high-level architecture document for Wasmtime

This commit cleands up some existing documentation by removing a number
of "noop README files" and starting a high-level overview of the
architecture of Wasmtime. I've placed this documentation under the
contributing section of the book since it seems most useful for possible
contributors.

I've surely left some things out in this pass, and am happy to add more!

* Review comments

* More rewording

* typos

This is the `wasmtime-environ` crate, which contains the implementations
of the `ModuleEnvironment` and `FuncEnvironment` traits from
[`cranelift-wasm`](https://crates.io/crates/cranelift-wasm). They effectively
implement an ABI for basic wasm compilation that defines how linear memories
are allocated, how indirect calls work, and other details. They can be used
for JITing, native object files, or other purposes.
