Added in c4e10227de I think the original
reason (which I'm not entirely knowledgeable of) may no longer be
applicable? In any case this is a significant difference on Windows from
other platforms because it makes loads/stores of wasm code have manual
checks instead of relying on the guard page, causing runtime and
compile-time slowdowns on Windows-only.
I originally rediscovered this when investigating #2318 and saw that
both the compile time of the module in question and trap information
tables were much larger than they were on Linux. Removing this
Windows-specific configuration fixed the discrepancies and afterwards
Linux and Windows were basically the same.
