Alex Crichton 654156714c Deduplicate function signatures in wasm modules (#2772)
Currently wasmtime will generate a `SignatureIndex`-per-type in the
module itself, even if the module itself declares the same type multiple
times. To make matters worse if the same type is declared across
multiple modules used in a module-linking-using-module then the
signature will be recorded each time it's declared.

This commit adds a simple map to module translation to deduplicate these
function types. This should improve the performance of module-linking
graphs where the same function type may be declared in a number of
modules. For modules that don't use module linking this adds an extra
map that's not used too often, but the time spent managing it should be
dwarfed by other compile tasks.

This is the wasmtime-environ crate, which contains the implementations of the ModuleEnvironment and FuncEnvironment traits from cranelift-wasm. They effectively implement an ABI for basic wasm compilation that defines how linear memories are allocated, how indirect calls work, and other details. They can be used for JITing, native object files, or other purposes.
