This commit fully implements outer aliases of the module linking
proposal. Outer aliases can now handle multiple-level-up aliases and now
properly also handle closed-over-values of modules that are either
imported or defined.
The structure of `wasmtime::Module` was altered as part of this commit.
It is now a compiled module plus two lists of "upvars", or closed over
values used when instantiating the module. One list of upvars is
compiled artifacts which are submodules that could be used. Another is
module values that are injected via outer aliases. Serialization and
such have been updated as appropriate to handle this.
This commit updates the various tooling used by wasmtime which has new
updates to the module linking proposal. This is done primarily to sync
with WebAssembly/module-linking#26. The main change implemented here is
that wasmtime now supports creating instances from a set of values, nott
just from instantiating a module. Additionally subtyping handling of
modules with respect to imports is now properly handled by desugaring
two-level imports to imports of instances.
A number of small refactorings are included here as well, but most of
them are in accordance with the changes to `wasmparser` and the updated
binary format for module linking.
* Fix module-linking handling of instance subtypes
When we alias the nth export of an instance, due to subtyping the nth
export may not actually be what we want. Instead we need to look at our
local type definition's nth export's name, and lookup that name off the
export.
* Update crates/wasmtime/src/instance.rs

* Implement imported/exported modules/instances
This commit implements the final piece of the module linking proposal
which is to flesh out the support for importing/exporting instances and
modules. This ended up having a few changes:
* Two more `PrimaryMap` instances are now stored in an `Instance`. The value
for instances is `InstanceHandle` (pretty easy) and for modules it's
`Box<dyn Any>` (less easy).
* The custom host state for `InstanceHandle` for `wasmtime` is now
`Arc<TypeTables` to be able to fully reconstruct an instance's types
just from its instance.
* Type matching for imports now has been updated to take
instances/modules into account.
One of the main downsides of this implementation is that type matching
of imports is duplicated between wasmparser and wasmtime, leading to
posssible bugs especially in the subtelties of module linking. I'm not
sure how best to unify these two pieces of validation, however, and it
may be more trouble than it's worth.

* Update wat/wast/wasmparser
* Review comments
* Fix a bug in publish script to vendor the right witx
Currently there's two witx binaries in our repository given the two wasi
spec submodules, so this updates the publication script to vendor the
right one.
This commit is intended to do almost everything necessary for processing
the alias section of module linking. Most of this is internal
refactoring, the highlights being:
* Type contents are now stored separately from a `wasmtime_env::Module`.
Given that modules can freely alias types and have them used all over
the place, it seemed best to have one canonical location to type
storage which everywhere else points to (with indices). A new
`TypeTables` structure is produced during compilation which is shared
amongst all member modules in a wasm blob.
* Instantiation is heavily refactored to account for module linking. The
main gotcha here is that imports are now listed as "initializers". We
have a sort of pseudo-bytecode-interpreter which interprets the
initialization of a module. This is more complicated than just
matching imports at this point because in the module linking proposal
the module, alias, import, and instance sections may all be
interleaved. This means that imports aren't guaranteed to show up at
the beginning of the address space for modules/instances.
Otherwise most of the changes here largely fell out from these two
design points. Aliases are recorded as initializers in this scheme.
Copying around type information and/or just knowing type information
during compilation is also pretty easy since everything is just a
pointer into a `TypeTables` and we don't have to actually copy any types
themselves. Lots of various refactorings were necessary to accomodate
these changes.
Tests are hoped to cover a breadth of functionality here, but not
necessarily a depth. There's still one more piece of the module linking
proposal missing which is exporting instances/modules, which will come
in a future PR.
It's also worth nothing that there's one large TODO which isn't
implemented in this change that I plan on opening an issue for.
With module linking when a set of modules comes back from compilation
each modules has all the trampolines for the entire set of modules. This
is quite a lot of duplicate trampolines across module-linking modules.
We'll want to refactor this at some point to instead have only one set
of trampolines per set of module linking modules and have them shared
from there. I figured it was best to separate out this change, however,
since it's purely related to resource usage, and doesn't impact
non-module-linking modules at all.

This commit implements the interpretation necessary of the instance
section of the module linking proposal. Instantiating a module which
itself has nested instantiated instances will now instantiate the nested
instances properly. This isn't all that useful without the ability to
alias exports off the result, but we can at least observe the side
effects of instantiation through the `start` function.
