3ed6fae7b3 Add trampoline compilation support for lowered imports (#4206)
* Add trampoline compilation support for lowered imports

This commit adds support to the component model implementation for
compiling trampolines suitable for calling host imports. Currently this
is purely just the compilation side of things, modifying the
wasmtime-cranelift crate and additionally filling out a new
`VMComponentOffsets` type (similar to `VMOffsets`). The actual creation
of a `VMComponentContext` is still not performed and will be a
subsequent PR.

Internally though some tests are actually possible with this where we at
least assert that compilation of a component and creation of everything
in-memory doesn't panic or trip any assertions, so some tests are added
here for that as well.

* Fix some test errors

140b83597b components: Implement the ability to call component exports (#4039)
* components: Implement the ability to call component exports

This commit is an implementation of the typed method of calling
component exports. This is intended to represent the most efficient way
of calling a component in Wasmtime, similar to what `TypedFunc`
represents today for core wasm.

Internally this contains all the traits and implementations necessary to
invoke component exports with any type signature (e.g. arbitrary
parameters and/or results). The expectation is that for results we'll
reuse all of this infrastructure except in reverse (arguments and
results will be swapped when defining imports).

Some features of this implementation are:

* Arbitrary type hierarchies are supported
* The Rust-standard `Option`, `Result`, `String`, `Vec<T>`, and tuple
  types all map down to the corresponding type in the component model.
* Basic utf-16 string support is implemented as proof-of-concept to show
  what handling might look like. This will need further testing and
  benchmarking.
* Arguments can be behind "smart pointers", so for example
  `&Rc<Arc<[u8]>>` corresponds to `list<u8>` in interface types.
* Bulk copies from linear memory never happen unless explicitly
  instructed to do so.

The goal of this commit is to create the ability to actually invoke wasm
components. This represents what is expected to be the performance
threshold for these calls where it ideally should be optimal how
WebAssembly is invoked. One major missing piece of this is a `#[derive]`
of some sort to generate Rust types for arbitrary `*.wit` types such as
custom records, variants, flags, unions, etc. The current trait impls
for tuples and `Result<T, E>` are expected to have fleshed out most of
what such a derive would look like.

There are some downsides and missing pieces to this commit and method of
calling components, however, such as:

* Passing `&[u8]` to WebAssembly is currently not optimal. Ideally this
  compiles down to a `memcpy`-equivalent somewhere but that currently
  doesn't happen due to all the bounds checks of copying data into
  memory. I have been unsuccessful so far at getting these bounds checks
  to be removed.
* There is no finalization at this time (the "post return" functionality
  in the canonical ABI). Implementing this should be relatively
  straightforward but at this time requires `wasmparser` changes to
  catch up with the current canonical ABI.
* There is no guarantee that results of a wasm function will be
  validated. As results are consumed they are validated but this means
  that if function returns an invalid string which the host doesn't look
  at then no trap will be generated. This is probably not the intended
  semantics of hosts in the component model.
* At this time there's no support for memory64 memories, just a bunch of
  `FIXME`s to get around to. It's expected that this won't be too
  onerous, however. Some extra care will need to ensure that the various
  methods related to size/alignment all optimize to the same thing they
  do today (e.g. constants).
* The return value of a typed component function is either `T` or
  `Value<T>`, and it depends on the ABI details of `T` and whether it
  takes up more than one return value slot or not. This is an
  ABI-implementation detail which is being forced through to the API
  layer which is pretty unfortunate. For example if you say the return
  value of a function is `(u8, u32)` then it's a runtime type-checking
  error. I don't know of a great way to solve this at this time.

Overall I'm feeling optimistic about this trajectory of implementing
value lifting/lowering in Wasmtime. While there are a number of
downsides none seem completely insurmountable. There's naturally still a
good deal of work with the component model but this should be a
significant step up towards implementing and testing the component model.

* Review comments

* Write tests for calling functions

This commit adds a new test file for actually executing functions and
testing their results. This is not written as a `*.wast` test yet since
it's not 100% clear if that's the best way to do that for now (given
that dynamic signatures aren't supported yet). The tests themselves
could all largely be translated to `*.wast` testing in the future,
though, if supported.

Along the way a number of minor issues were fixed with lowerings with
the bugs exposed here.

* Fix an endian mistake

* Fix a typo and the `memory.fill` instruction

fcf6208750 Initial skeleton of some component model processing (#4005)
* Initial skeleton of some component model processing

This commit is the first of what will likely be many to implement the
component model proposal in Wasmtime. This will be structured as a
series of incremental commits, most of which haven't been written yet.
My hope is to make this incremental and over time to make this easier to
review and easier to test each step in isolation.

Here much of the skeleton of how components are going to work in
Wasmtime is sketched out. This is not a complete implementation of the
component model so it's not all that useful yet, but some things you can
do are:

* Process the type section into a representation amenable for working
  with in Wasmtime.
* Process the module section and register core wasm modules.
* Process the instance section for core wasm modules.
* Process core wasm module imports.
* Process core wasm instance aliasing.
* Ability to compile a component with core wasm embedded.
* Ability to instantiate a component with no imports.
* Ability to get functions from this component.

This is already starting to diverge from the previous module linking
representation where a `Component` will try to avoid unnecessary
metadata about the component and instead internally only have the bare
minimum necessary to instantiate the module. My hope is we can avoid
constructing most of the index spaces during instantiation only for it
to all ge thrown away. Additionally I'm predicting that we'll need to
see through processing where possible to know how to generate adapters
and where they are fused.

At this time you can't actually call a component's functions, and that's
the next PR that I would like to make.

* Add tests for the component model support

This commit uses the recently updated wasm-tools crates to add tests for
the component model added in the previous commit. This involved updating
the `wasmtime-wast` crate for component-model changes. Currently the
component support there is quite primitive, but enough to at least
instantiate components and verify the internals of Wasmtime are all
working correctly. Additionally some simple tests for the embedding API
have also been added.
