* Upgrade all crates to the Rust 2021 edition
I've personally started using the new format strings for things like
`panic!("some message {foo}")` or similar and have been upgrading crates
on a case-by-case basis, but I think it probably makes more sense to go
ahead and blanket upgrade everything so 2021 features are always
available.
* Fix compile of the C API
* Fix a warning
* Fix another warning
* Bump to 0.36.0
* Add a two-week delay to Wasmtime's release process
This commit is a proposal to update Wasmtime's release process with a
two-week delay from branching a release until it's actually officially
released. We've had two issues lately that came up which led to this proposal:
* In #3915 it was realized that changes just before the 0.35.0 release
weren't enough for an embedding use case, but the PR didn't meet the
expectations for a full patch release.
* At Fastly we were about to start rolling out a new version of Wasmtime
when over the weekend the fuzz bug #3951 was found. This led to the
desire internally to have a "must have been fuzzed for this long"
period of time for Wasmtime changes which we felt were better
reflected in the release process itself rather than something about
Fastly's own integration with Wasmtime.
This commit updates the automation for releases to unconditionally
create a `release-X.Y.Z` branch on the 5th of every month. The actual
release from this branch is then performed on the 20th of every month,
roughly two weeks later. This should provide a period of time to ensure
that all changes in a release are fuzzed for at least two weeks and
avoid any further surprises. This should also help with any last-minute
changes made just before a release if they need tweaking since
backporting to a not-yet-released branch is much easier.
Overall there are some new properties about Wasmtime with this proposal
as well:
* The `main` branch will always have a section in `RELEASES.md` which is
listed as "Unreleased" for us to fill out.
* The `main` branch will always be a version ahead of the latest
release. For example it will be bump pre-emptively as part of the
release process on the 5th where if `release-2.0.0` was created then
the `main` branch will have 3.0.0 Wasmtime.
* Dates for major versions are automatically updated in the
`RELEASES.md` notes.
The associated documentation for our release process is updated and the
various scripts should all be updated now as well with this commit.
* Add notes on a security patch
* Clarify security fixes shouldn't be previewed early on CI
I frequently notice that the fuzz build of `cranelift-codegen` takes an
extremely long time and recently realized that one issue is that when
fuzzers are built we enable all of the backends in `cranelift-codegen`
but AFAIK only the native backend is actually fuzzed. I traced the
inclusion of `all-arch` back to #2323, specifically [this comment][1]
and it looks like now that the old backend is removed this should be
able to be removed as well.

* Rewrite interpreter generically
This change re-implements the Cranelift interpreter to use generic values; this makes it possible to do abstract interpretation of Cranelift instructions. In doing so, the interpretation state is extracted from the `Interpreter` structure and is accessed via a `State` trait; this makes it possible to not only more clearly observe the interpreter's state but also to interpret using a dummy state (e.g. `ImmutableRegisterState`). This addition made it possible to implement more of the Cranelift instructions (~70%, ignoring the x86-specific instructions).
* Replace macros with closures
This is an incomplete version of a Cranelift IR interpreter: only a small subset of instructions are implemented and (known) missing parts are marked with TODO or FIXME.
