97894bc65e Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines (#4501)
* Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines

This commit lands a significant new piece of functionality to Wasmtime's
implementation of the component model in the form of the implementation
of fused adapter trampolines. Internally within a component core wasm
modules can communicate with each other by having their exports
`canon lift`'d to get `canon lower`'d into a different component. This
signifies that two components are communicating through a statically
known interface via the canonical ABI at this time. Previously Wasmtime
was able to identify that this communication was happening but it simply
panicked with `unimplemented!` upon seeing it. This commit is the
beginning of filling out this panic location with an actual
implementation.

The implementation route chosen here for fused adapters is to use a
WebAssembly module itself for the implementation. This means that, at
compile time of a component, Wasmtime is generating core WebAssembly
modules which then get recursively compiled within Wasmtime as well. The
choice to use WebAssembly itself as the implementation of fused adapters
stems from a few motivations:

* This does not represent a significant increase in the "trusted
  compiler base" of Wasmtime. Getting the Wasm -> CLIF translation
  correct once is hard enough much less for an entirely different IR to
  CLIF. By generating WebAssembly no new interactions with Cranelift are
  added which drastically reduces the possibilities for mistakes.

* Using WebAssembly means that component adapters are insulated from
  miscompilations and mistakes. If something goes wrong it's defined
  well within the WebAssembly specification how it goes wrong and what
  happens as a result. This means that the "blast zone" for a wrong
  adapter is the component instance but not the entire host itself.
  Accesses to linear memory are guaranteed to be in-bounds and otherwise
  handled via well-defined traps.

* A fully-finished fused adapter compiler is expected to be a
  significant and quite complex component of Wasmtime. Functionality
  along these lines is expected to be needed for Web-based polyfills of
  the component model and by using core WebAssembly it provides the
  opportunity to share code between Wasmtime and these polyfills for the
  component model.

* Finally the runtime implementation of managing WebAssembly modules is
  already implemented and quite easy to integrate with, so representing
  fused adapters with WebAssembly results in very little extra support
  necessary for the runtime implementation of instantiating and managing
  a component.

The compiler added in this commit is dubbed Wasmtime's Fused Adapter
Compiler of Trampolines (FACT) because who doesn't like deriving a name
from an acronym. Currently the trampoline compiler is limited in its
support for interface types and only supports a few primitives. I plan
on filing future PRs to flesh out the support here for all the variants
of `InterfaceType`. For now this PR is primarily focused on all of the
other infrastructure for the addition of a trampoline compiler.

With the choice to use core WebAssembly to implement fused adapters it
means that adapters need to be inserted into a module. Unfortunately
adapters cannot all go into a single WebAssembly module because adapters
themselves have dependencies which may be provided transitively through
instances that were instantiated with other adapters. This means that a
significant chunk of this PR (`adapt.rs`) is dedicated to determining
precisely which adapters go into precisely which adapter modules. This
partitioning process attempts to make large modules wherever it can to
cut down on core wasm instantiations but is likely not optimal as
it's just a simple heuristic today.

With all of this added together it's now possible to start writing
`*.wast` tests that internally have adapted modules communicating with
one another. A `fused.wast` test suite was added as part of this PR
which is the beginning of tests for the support of the fused adapter
compiler added in this PR. Currently this is primarily testing some
various topologies of adapters along with direct/indirect modes. This
will grow many more tests over time as more types are supported.

Overall I'm not 100% satisfied with the testing story of this PR. When a
test fails it's very difficult to debug since everything is written in
the text format of WebAssembly meaning there's no "conveniences" to
print out the state of the world when things go wrong and easily debug.
I think this will become even more apparent as more tests are written
for more types in subsequent PRs. At this time though I know of no
better alternative other than leaning pretty heavily on fuzz-testing to
ensure this is all exercised.

* Fix an unused field warning

* Fix tests in `wasmtime-runtime`

* Add some more tests for compiled trampolines

* Remap exports when injecting adapters

The exports of a component were accidentally left unmapped which meant
that they indexed the instance indexes pre-adapter module insertion.

* Fix typo

* Rebase conflicts

f0278c5db7 Implement canon lower of a canon lift function in the same component (#4347)
* Implement `canon lower` of a `canon lift` function in the same component

This commit implements the "degenerate" logic for implementing a
function within a component that is lifted and then immediately lowered
again. In this situation the lowered function will immediately generate
a trap and doesn't need to implement anything else.

The implementation in this commit is somewhat heavyweight but I think is
probably justified moreso in future additions to the component model
rather than what exactly is here right now. It's not expected that this
"always trap" functionality will really be used all that often since it
would generally mean a buggy component, but the functionality plumbed
through here is hopefully going to be useful for implementing
component-to-component adapter trampolines.

Specifically this commit implements a strategy where the `canon.lower`'d
function is generated by Cranelift and simply has a single trap
instruction when called, doing nothing else. The main complexity comes
from juggling around all the data associated with these functions,
primarily plumbing through the traps into the `ModuleRegistry` to
ensure that the global `is_wasm_trap_pc` function returns `true` and at
runtime when we lookup information about the trap it's all readily
available (e.g. translating the trapping pc to a `TrapCode`).

* Fix non-component build

* Fix some offset calculations

* Only create one "always trap" per signature

Use an internal map to deduplicate during compilation.

c1b3962f7b Implement lowered-then-lifted functions (#4327)
* Implement lowered-then-lifted functions

This commit is a few features bundled into one, culminating in the
implementation of lowered-then-lifted functions for the component model.
It's probably not going to be used all that often but this is possible
within a valid component so Wasmtime needs to do something relatively
reasonable. The main things implemented in this commit are:

* Component instances are now assigned a `RuntimeComponentInstanceIndex`
  to differentiate each one. This will be used in the future to detect
  fusion (one instance lowering a function from another instance). For
  now it's used to allocate separate `VMComponentFlags` for each
  internal component instance.

* The `CoreExport<FuncIndex>` of lowered functions was changed to a
  `CoreDef` since technically a lowered function can use another lowered
  function as the callee. This ended up being not too difficult to plumb
  through as everything else was already in place.

* A need arose to compile host-to-wasm trampolines which weren't already
  present. Currently wasm in a component is always entered through a
  host-to-wasm trampoline but core wasm modules are the source of all
  the trampolines. In the case of a lowered-then-lifted function there
  may not actually be any core wasm modules, so component objects now
  contain necessary trampolines not otherwise provided by the core wasm
  objects. This feature required splitting a new function into the
  `Compiler` trait for creating a host-to-wasm trampoline. After doing
  this core wasm compilation was also updated to leverage this which
  further enabled compiling trampolines in parallel as opposed to the
  previous synchronous compilation.

3339dd1f01 Implement the post-return attribute (#4297)
This commit implements the `post-return` feature of the canonical ABI in
the component model. This attribute is an optionally-specified function
which is to be executed after the return value has been processed by the
caller to optionally clean-up the return value. This enables, for
example, returning an allocated string and the host then knows how to
clean it up to prevent memory leaks in the original module.

The API exposed in this PR changes the prior `TypedFunc::call` API in
behavior but not in its signature. Previously the `TypedFunc::call`
method would set the `may_enter` flag on the way out, but now that
operation is deferred until a new `TypedFunc::post_return` method is
called. This means that once a method on an instance is invoked then
nothing else can be done on the instance until the `post_return` method
is called. Note that the method must be called irrespective of whether
the `post-return` canonical ABI option was specified or not. Internally
wasm will be invoked if necessary.

This is a pretty wonky and unergonomic API to work with. For now I
couldn't think of a better alternative that improved on the ergonomics.
In the theory that the raw Wasmtime bindings for a component may not be
used all that heavily (instead `wit-bindgen` would largely be used) I'm
hoping that this isn't too much of an issue in the future.

2af358dd9c Add a VMComponentContext type and create it on instantiation (#4215)
* Add a `VMComponentContext` type and create it on instantiation

This commit fills out the `wasmtime-runtime` crate's support for
`VMComponentContext` and creates it as part of the instantiation
process. This moves a few maps that were temporarily allocated in an
`InstanceData` into the `VMComponentContext` and additionally reads the
canonical options data from there instead.

This type still won't be used in its "full glory" until the lowering of
host functions is completely implemented, however, which will be coming
in a future commit.

* Remove `DerefMut` implementation

* Rebase conflicts
