Alex Crichton 11510ec426 Disallow values to cross stores (#1016)
* Disallow values to cross stores

Lots of internals in the wasmtime-{jit,runtime} crates are highly
unsafe, so it's up to the `wasmtime` API crate to figure out how to make
it safe. One guarantee we need to provide is that values never cross
between stores. For example you can't take a function in one store and
move it over into a different instance in a different store. This
dynamic check can't be performed at compile time and it's up to
`wasmtime` to do the check itself.

This adds a number of checks, but not all of them, to the codebase for
now. This primarily adds checks around instantiation, globals, and
tables. The main hole in this is functions, where you can pass in
arguments or return values that are not from the right store. For now
though we can't compile modules with `anyref` parameters/returns anyway,
so we should be good. Eventually when that is supported we'll need to
put the guards in place.

Closes #958

* Clarify how values test they come from stores

* Allow null anyref to initialize tables

Wasmtime Embedding API

The wasmtime crate is an embedding API of the wasmtime WebAssembly runtime. This is intended to be used in Rust projects and provides a high-level API of working with WebAssembly modules.

If you're interested in embedding wasmtime in other languages, you may wish to take a look a the C embedding API instead!
