This commit is a slight refactoring of the `Module` trait and backend in
`cranelift-object`. The goal is to enable parallelization of compilation
when using `cranelift-object`. Currently this is difficult because
`ObjectModule::define_function` requires `&mut self`. This instead
soups up the `define_function_bytes` interface to handle relocations so
compilation can happen externally before defining it in a `Module`. This
also means that `define_function` is now a convenience wrapper around
`define_function_bytes`.

DEPRECATION NOTICE: the Cranelift developer team intends to stop maintaining
the `cranelift-faerie` crate and remove it from the `wasmtime` git repository
on or after August 3, 2020. We recommend users use its successor, the
`cranelift-object` crate.
These libcalls are useful for 32-bit platforms.
On x86_32 in particular, commit 4ec16fa0 added support for legalizing
64-bit shifts through SIMD operations. However, that legalization
requires SIMD to be enabled and SSE 4.1 to be supported, which is not
acceptable as a hard requirement.
* Wasmtime 0.15.0 and Cranelift 0.62.0. (#1398)
* Bump more ad-hoc versions.
* Add build.rs to wasi-common's Cargo.toml.
* Update the env var name in more places.
* Remove a redundant echo.
Experience with the `define_function` API has shown that returning
borrowed slices of `TrapSite` is not ideal: the returned slice
represents a borrow on the entire `Module`, which makes calling back
into methods taking `&mut self` a bit tricky.
To eliminate the problem, let's require the callers of `define_function`
to provide `TrapSink` instances. This style of API enables them to
control when and how traps are collected, and makes the `object` and
`faerie` backends simpler/more efficient by not having to worry about
trap collection.
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.
This patch updates or removes all references to the Cranelift repository. It affects links in README documents, issues that were transferred to the Wasmtime repository, CI badges, and a small bunch of sundry items.
