* Refactor metadata storage in AOT artifacts
This commit is a reorganization of how metadata is stored in Wasmtime's
compiled artifacts. Currently Wasmtime's ELF artifacts have data
appended after them to contain metadata about the `Engine` as well as
type information for the module itself. This extra data at the end of
the file is ignored by ELF-related utilities generally and is assembled
during the module serialization process.
In working on AOT-compiling components, though, I've discovered a number
of issues with this:
* Primarily it's possible to mistakenly change an artifact if it's
deserialized and then serialized again. This issue is probably
theoretical but the deserialized artifact records the `Engine`
configuration at time of creation but when re-serializing that it
serializes the current `Engine` state, not the original `Engine`
state.
* Additionally the serialization strategy here is tightly coupled to
`Module` and its serialization format. While this makes sense it is
not conducive for future refactorings to use a similar serialization
format for components. The engine metadata, for example, does not
necessarily need to be tied up with type information.
* The storage for this extra metadata is a bit wonky by shoving it at
the end of the ELF file. The original reason for this was to have a
compiled artifact be multiple objects concatenated with each other to
support serializing module-linking-using modules. Module linking is no
longer a thing and I have since decided that for the component model
all compilation artifacts will go into one object file to assist
debugability. This means that the extra stick-it-at-the-end is no
longer necessary.
To solve these issues this commit splits up the
`module/serialization.rs` file in two, mostly moving the logic to
`engine/serialization.rs`. The engine serialization logic now handles
everything related to `Engine` compatibility such as targets, compiler
flags, wasm features, etc. The module serialization logic is now
exclusively interested in type information.
The engine metadata and serialized type information additionally live in
sections of the final file now instead of at the end. This means that
there are three primary `bincode`-encoded sections that are parsed on
deserializing a file:
1. The `Engine`-specific metadata. This will be the same for both
modules and components.
2. The `CompiledModuleInfo` structure. For core wasm there's just one of
these but for the component model there will be multiple, one per
core wasm module.
3. The type information. For core wasm this is a `ModuleTypes` but for a
component this will be a `ComponentTypes`.
No true functional change is expected from this commit. Binary artifacts
might get inflated by a small handful of bytes due to using ELF sections
to represent this now.
A related change I made during this commit as well was the plumbing of
the `is_branch_protection_enabled` flag. This is technically
`Engine`-level metadata but I didn't want to plumb it all over the place
as was done now, so instead a new section was added to the final binary
just for this bti information. This means that it no longer needs to be
a parameter to `CodeMemory::publish` and additionally is more amenable
to a `Component`-is-just-one-object world where no single module owns
this piece of metadata.
