We originally had a `context.Context` for anything that might be
traced, but it turned out to be only useful for lifecycle and host functions.
For instruction-scoped aspects like memory updates, a context parameter is too
fine-grained and also invisible in practice. For example, most users will use
the compiler engine, and its memory, global or table access will never use go's
context.

This adds ResultNames to HostFunctionBuilder and FunctionDefinition
which helps for multi-results or special-cased ones.
End users can access result names in `FunctionDefinition.ResultNames` or
set for their own host functions via
`HostFunctionBuilder.WithResultNames`. This change adds them for all
built-in functions where result names help.
Most notably, GOOS=js uses `ProxyFunc` to allow logging when a function
returns multiple results. Before, the results were returned without
names: e.g. `11231,1` and now they are named like `n=11231,ok=1`.
We soon plan to allow more visibility in WASI, for example, logging
results that will write to memory offsets. This infrastructure makes it
possible to do that.

This PR follows @hafeidejiangyou advice to not only enable end users to
avoid reflection when calling host functions, but also use that approach
ourselves internally. The performance results are staggering and will be
noticable in high performance applications.

To accomplish this, this PR consolidates code around host function
definition and enables a fast path for functions where the user takes
responsibility for defining its WebAssembly mappings. Existing users
will need to change their code a bit, as signatures have changed.
For example, we are now more strict that all host functions require a
context parameter zero. Also, we've replaced
`HostModuleBuilder.ExportFunction` and `ExportFunctions` with a new type
`HostFunctionBuilder` that consolidates the responsibility and the
documentation.
```diff
ctx := context.Background()
-hello := func() {
+hello := func(context.Context) {
fmt.Fprintln(stdout, "hello!")
}
-_, err := r.NewHostModuleBuilder("env").ExportFunction("hello", hello).Instantiate(ctx, r)
+_, err := r.NewHostModuleBuilder("env").
+ NewFunctionBuilder().WithFunc(hello).Export("hello").
+ Instantiate(ctx, r)
```
Power users can now use `HostFunctionBuilder` to define functions that
won't use reflection. There are two choices of interfaces to use
depending on if that function needs access to the calling module or not:
`api.GoFunction` and `api.GoModuleFunction`. Here's an example defining
one.
```go
builder.WithGoFunction(api.GoFunc(func(ctx context.Context, params []uint64) []uint64 {
x, y := uint32(params[0]), uint32(params[1])
sum := x + y
return []uint64{sum}
}, []api.ValueType{api.ValueTypeI32, api.ValueTypeI32}, []api.ValueType{api.ValueTypeI32})
```
As you'll notice and as documented, this approach is more verbose and
not for everyone. If you aren't making a low-level library, you are
likely able to afford the 1us penalty for the convenience of reflection.
However, we are happy to enable this option for foundational libraries
and those with high performance requirements (like ourselves)!

It is more often the case that projects are enabling a freestanding
target, and that may or may not have an exporting memory depending on
how that's interpreted. This adds the ability to inspect memories
similar to how you can already inspect compiled code prior to
instantiation. For example, you can enforce an ABI constraint that
"memory" must be exported even if WASI is not in use.

We formerly introduced `MemorySizer` as a way to control capacity independently of size. This was the first and only feature in `CompileConfig`. While possibly used privately, `MemorySizer` has never been used in public GitHub code.
These APIs interfere with how we do caching of compiled modules. Notably, they can change the min or max defined in wasm, which invalidates some constants. This has also had a bad experience, forcing everyone to boilerplate`wazero.NewCompileConfig()` despite that API never being used in open source.
This addresses the use cases in a different way, by moving configuration to `RuntimeConfig` instead. This allows us to remove `MemorySizer` and `CompileConfig`, and the problems with them, yet still retaining functionality in case someone uses it.
* `RuntimeConfig.WithMemoryLimitPages(uint32)`: Prevents memory from growing to 4GB (spec limit) per instance.
* This works regardless of whether the wasm encodes max or not. If there is no max, it becomes effectively this value.
* `RuntimeConfig.WithMemoryCapacityFromMax(bool)`: Prevents reallocations (when growing).
* Wasm that never sets max will grow from min to the limit above.
Note: Those who want to change their wasm (ex insert a max where there was none), have to do that externally, ex via compiler settings or post-build transformations such as [wabin](https://github.com/tetratelabs/wabin)

We at one point considered making `ModuleBuilder` create complete
WebAssembly binaries. However, we recently spun out
[wabin](https://github.com/tetratelabs/wabin), which allows this.
Meanwhile, the features in `ModuleBuilder` were confusing and misused.
For example, the only two cases memory was exported on GitHub were done
by accident. This is because host functions act on the guest's memory,
not their own.
Hence, this removes memory and globals from host side definitions, and
renames the type to HostModuleBuilder to clarify this is not ever going
to be used to construct normal Wasm binaries.
Most importantly, this simplifies the API and reduces a lot of code. It
is important to make changes like this, particularly deleting any
experimental things that didn't end up useful.

While compilers should be conservative when targeting WebAssembly Core
features, runtimes should be lenient as otherwise people need to
constantly turn on all features. Currently, most examples have to turn
on 2.0 features because compilers such as AssemblyScript and TinyGo use
them by default. This matches the policy with the reality, and should
make first time use easier.
This top-levels an internal type as `api.CoreFeatures` and defaults to
2.0 as opposed to 1.0, our previous default. This is less cluttered than
the excess of `WithXXX` methods we had prior to implementing all
planned WebAssembly Core Specification 1.0 features.
Finally, this backfills rationale as flat config types were a distinct
decision even if feature set selection muddied the topic.

This introduces wasm.CallEngine internal type, and assign it to the api.Function
implementations. api.Function.Call now uses that CallEngine assigned to it
to make function calls.
Internally, when creating CallEngine implementation, the compiler engine allocates
call frames and values stack. Previously, we allocate these stacks for each function calls,
which was a severe overhead as we can recognize in the benchmarks. As a result,
this reduces the memory usage (== reduces the GC jobs) as long as we reuse
the same api.Function multiple times.
As a side effect, now api.Function.Call is not goroutine-safe. So this adds the comment
about it on that method.

staticcheck linters broke until recent golangci-lint. Now, normal
behaviour of enforcing no nil context works again. Ex.
```
assemblyscript/assemblyscript_example_test.go:16:25: SA1012: do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it; pass context.TODO if you are unsure about which Context to use (staticcheck)
r := wazero.NewRuntime(nil)
```
Since default lint already checks for nil context, this removes our
permission of nil context args. The original reason we permitted nil is
no longer valid: we once allowed context to be stashed in config, and
removed that as it caused bugs. We forgot to undo allowing nil
explicitly.
Note: this doesn't particularly check in our code for nil context,
similar as we don't particularly check in our code for nil anything
else. End users should use linters as none of our parameters should be
nil anyway.

Before, we allowed stubbed host functions to be defined in wasm instead
of Go. This improves performance and reduces a chance of side-effects vs
Go. In fact, any pure function was supported in wasm, provided it only
called pure functions.
This changes internals so that a wasm-defined host function can use
memory. Notably, host functions use the caller's memory, so this is
simpler to initially support in the interpreter.
This is needed to simplify and reduce performance hit of GOARCH=wasm,
GOOS=js code, which perform a lot of memory reads and do not have
idiomatic signatures.
Note: wasm-defined host functions remain internal until we gain
experience, at least conclusion of the wasm_exec host module.

This top-levels `api.FunctionDefinition` which was formerly
experimental, and also adds import metadata to it. Now, it holds all
metadata known at compile time.
Here are the public API visible changes:
* api.ExportedFunction - replaced with api.FunctionDefinition as it is
usable for all types of functions.
* api.Function - `.ParamTypes/ResultTypes()` are replaced with
`.Definition().
* api.FunctionDefinition - extracted from experimental and adds
`.Import()` to get the any imported module and function name.
* experimental.FunctionDefinition - replaced with
api.FunctionDefinition.
* experimental.FunctionListenerFactory - adds first arg of the
instantiated module name, as it can be different than compiled.
* wazero.CompiledModule - Adds `.ImportedFunctions()` and changes result
type of `.ExportedFunctions()` to api.FunctionDefinition.
Internally, logic to create function definition are consolidated between
host and wasm-defined functions, notably wasm.Module now includes
`.BuildFunctionDefinitions()` which reduces duplication in
wasm.ModuleInstance `.BuildFunctions()`,
This obviates #681 by deleting the `ExportedFunction` type which
overlaps with this information.
This fixes#637 as it includes more metadata including imports.

Before, we introduced a type `api.ImportRenamer` to resolve conflicts
where the "env" module was shared between AssemblyScript and
user-defined functions. This API was never used in GitHub, and is
complicated.
AssemblyScript also isn't the only ABI to share the "env" module, as
other web APIs like Emscripten do also. The less complicated approach is
to have packages that need to share "env" use
`ModuleBuilder.ExportFunctions` instead, and use namespaces as needed if
there is overlap.

This performs several changes to allow compilation config to be
centralized and scoped properly. The immediate effects are that we can
now process external types during `Runtime.CompileModule` instead of
doing so later during `Runtime.InstantiateModule`. Another nice side
effect is memory size problems can err at a source line instead of
having to be handled in several places.
There are some API effects to this, and to pay for them, some less used
APIs were removed. The "easy APIs" are left alone. For example, the APIs
to compile and instantiate a module from Go or Wasm in one step are left
alone.
Here are the changes, some of which are only for consistency. Rationale
is summarized in each point.
* ModuleBuilder.Build -> ModuleBuilder.Compile
* The result of this is similar to `CompileModule`, and pairs better
with `ModuleBuilder.Instantiate` which is like `InstantiateModule`.
* CompiledCode -> CompiledModule
* We punted on this name, the result is more than just code. This is
better I think and more consistent as it introduces less terms.
* Adds CompileConfig param to Runtime.CompileModule.
* This holds existing features and will have future ones, such as
mapping externtypes to uint64 for wasm that doesn't yet support it.
* Merges Runtime.InstantiateModuleWithConfig with Runtime.InstantiateModule
* This allows us to explain APIs in terms of implicit or explicit
compilation and config, vs implicit, kindof implicit, and explicit.
* Removes Runtime.InstantiateModuleFromCodeWithConfig
* Similar to above, this API only saves the compilation step and also
difficult to reason with from a name POV.
* RuntimeConfig.WithMemory(CapacityPages|LimitPages) -> CompileConfig.WithMemorySizer
* This allows all error handling to be attached to the source line
* This also allows someone to reduce unbounded memory while knowing
what its minimum is.
* ModuleConfig.With(Import|ImportModule) -> CompileConfig.WithImportRenamer
* This allows more types of import manipulation, also without
conflating functions with globals.
* Adds api.ExternType
* Needed for ImportRenamer and will be needed later for ExportRenamer.

This prepares for exposing operations like Memory.Grow while keeping the
ability to trace what did that, by adding a `context.Context` initial
parameter. This adds this to all API methods that mutate or return
mutated data.
Before, we made a change to trace functions and general lifecycle
commands, but we missed this part. Ex. We track functions, but can't
track what closed the module, changed memory or a mutable constant.
Changing to do this now is not only more consistent, but helps us
optimize at least the interpreter to help users identify otherwise
opaque code that can cause harm. This is critical before we add more
functions that can cause harm, such as Memory.Grow.

This is an API breaking change that does a few things:
* Stop encouraging practice that can break context propagation:
* Stops caching `context.Context` in `wazero.RuntimeConfig`
* Stops caching `context.Context` in `api.Module`
* Fixes context propagation in function calls:
* Changes `api.Function`'s arg0 from `api.Module` to `context.Context`
* Adds `context.Context` parameter in instantiation (propagates to
.start)
* Allows context propagation for heavy operations like compile:
* Adds `context.Context` as the initial parameter of `CompileModule`
The design we had earlier was a good start, but this is the only way to
ensure coherence when users start correlating or tracing. While adding a
`context.Context` parameter may seem difficult, wazero is a low-level
library and WebAssembly is notoriously difficult to troubleshoot. In
other words, it will be easier to explain to users to pass (even nil) as
the context parameter vs try to figure out things without coherent

During #425, @neilalexander gave constructive feedback that the API is
both moving fast, and not good enough yet. This attempts to reduce the
incidental complexity at the cost of a little conflation.
### odd presence of `wasm` and `wasi` packages -> `api` package
We had public API packages in wasm and wasi, which helped us avoid
leaking too many internals as public. That these had names that look
like there should be implementations in them cause unnecessary
confusion. This squashes both into one package "api" which has no
package collission with anything.
We've long struggled with the poorly specified and non-uniformly
implemented WASI specification. Trying to bring visibility to its
constraints knowing they are routinely invalid taints our API for no
good reason. This removes all `WASI` commands for a default to invoke
the function `_start` if it exists. In doing so, there's only one path
to start a module.
Moreover, this puts all wasi code in a top-level package "wasi" as it
isn't re-imported by any internal types.
### Reuse of Module for pre and post instantiation to `Binary` -> `Module`
Module is defined by WebAssembly in many phases, from decoded to
instantiated. However, using the same noun in multiple packages is very
confusing. We at one point tried a name "DecodedModule" or
"InstantiatedModule", but this is a fools errand. By deviating slightly
from the spec we can make it unambiguous what a module is.
This make a result of compilation a `Binary`, retaining `Module` for an
instantiated one. In doing so, there's no longer any name conflicts
whatsoever.
### Confusion about config -> `ModuleConfig`
Also caused by splitting wasm into wasm+wasi is configuration. This
conflates both into the same type `ModuleConfig` as it is simpler than
trying to explain a "will never be finished" api of wasi snapshot-01 in
routine use of WebAssembly. In other words, this further moves WASI out
of the foreground as it has been nothing but burden.
