Alex Crichton 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.

`wasi-common`

A Bytecode Alliance project

A library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI-enabled runtime.

The wasi-common crate will ultimately serve as a library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI (and potentially non-WASI) runtimes such as Wasmtime and Lucet.

The library is an adaption of lucet-wasi crate from the Lucet project, and it is currently based on 40ae1df git revision.

Please note that the library requires Rust compiler version at least 1.37.0.

Supported syscalls

*nix

In our *nix implementation, we currently support the entire WASI API with the exception of socket hostcalls:

sock_recv
sock_send
sock_shutdown

We expect these to be implemented when network access is standardised.

We also currently do not support the proc_raise hostcall, as it is expected to be dropped entirely from WASI.

Windows

In our Windows implementation, we currently support the minimal subset of WASI API which allows for running the very basic "Hello world!" style WASM apps. More coming shortly, so stay tuned!

Development hints

When testing the crate, you may want to enable and run full wasm32 integration testsuite. This requires wasm32-wasi target installed which can be done as follows using rustup

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

Now, you should be able to run the integration testsuite by running cargo test on the test-programs package with test_programs feature enabled:

cargo test --features test_programs --package test-programs

Third-Party Code

Significant parts of our hostcall implementations are derived from the C implementations in cloudabi-utils. See LICENSE.cloudabi-utils for license information.
