9a88d3d894 Replace the global-exports mechanism with a caller-vmctx mechanism. (#789)
* Replace the global-exports mechanism with a caller-vmctx mechanism.

This eliminates the global exports mechanism, and instead adds a
caller-vmctx argument to wasm functions so that WASI can obtain the
memory and other things from the caller rather than looking them up in a
global registry.

This replaces #390.

* Fixup some merge conflicts

* Rustfmt

* Ensure VMContext is aligned to 16 bytes

With the removal of `global_exports` it "just so happens" that this
isn't happening naturally any more.

* Fixup some bugs with double vmctx in wasmtime crate

* Trampoline stub needed adjusting
* Use pointer type instead of always using I64 for caller vmctx
* Don't store `ir::Signature` in `Func` since we don't know the pointer
  size at creation time.
* Skip the first 2 arguments in IR signatures since that's the two vmctx
  parameters.

* Update cranelift to 0.56.0

* Handle more merge conflicts

* Rustfmt

cc4be18119 Reduce boilerplate in wasmtime-wasi (#707)
This commit uses the `*.witx` files describing the current wasi API to
reduce the boilerplate used to define implementations in the
`wasmtime-wasi` crate. Eventually I'd like to remove lots of boilerplate
in the `wasi-common` crate too, but this should at least be a good start!

The boilerplate removed here is:

* No need to list each function to add it to the
  `wasmtime_runtime::Module` being created

* No need to list the signature of the function in a separate
  `syscalls.rs` file.

Instead the `*.witx` file is processed in a single-use macro inside the
`wasmtime-wasi` crate. This macro uses the signatures known from
`*.witx` to automatically register with the right type in the wasm
module as well as define a wrapper that the wasm module will call into.
Functionally this is all the same as before, it's just defined in a
different way now!

The shim generated by this macro which wasmtime calls into only uses
`i32`/`i64`/etc wasm types, and it internally uses `as` casts to convert
to the right wasi types when delegating into the `wasi-common` crate.

One change was necessary to get this implemented, however. The functions
in `wasi-common` sometimes took `WasiCtx` and sometimes took a slice of
memory. After this PR they uniformly all require both `WasiCtx` and
memory so the wrappers can be auto-generated. The arguments are ignored
if they weren't previously required.
