Subject: [PATCH] cranelift-module: make backend error an anyhow::Error

This allows us to retain richer information from backend errors.
We already have `anyhow` as a dep in several places in the wasmtime
tree, and in cranelift-faerie. faerie is the only user of this
variant.

Existing code that puts a String into the Backend error can trivially
adapt their code to emit an anyhow::Error.
