This makes host functions index consistently on insertion order, rather
than lexicographic order. This helps with ABI such as Emscripten, which
need an expected order.
This also constrains the internal code around host functions to only one
export name. More than one was never used. By restricting this, logic is
simpler and smaller.

Formerly, we introduced `wazero.Namespace` to help avoid module name or import conflicts while still sharing the runtime's compilation cache. Now that we've introduced `CompilationCache` `wazero.Namespace` is no longer necessary. By removing it, we reduce the conceptual load on end users as well internal complexity. Since most users don't use namespace, the change isn't very impactful.
Users who are only trying to avoid module name conflict can generate a name like below instead of using multiple runtimes:
```go
moduleName := fmt.Sprintf("%d", atomic.AddUint64(&m.instanceCounter, 1))
module, err := runtime.InstantiateModule(ctx, compiled, config.WithName(moduleName))
```
For `HostModuleBuilder` users, we no longer take `Namespace` as the last parameter of `Instantiate` method:
```diff
// log to the console.
_, err := r.NewHostModuleBuilder("env").
NewFunctionBuilder().WithFunc(logString).Export("log").
- Instantiate(ctx, r)
+ Instantiate(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Panicln(err)
}
```
The following is an example diff a use of namespace can use to keep compilation cache while also ensuring their modules don't conflict:
```diff
func useMultipleRuntimes(ctx context.Context, cache) {
- r := wazero.NewRuntime(ctx)
+ cache := wazero.NewCompilationCache()
for i := 0; i < N; i++ {
- // Create a new namespace to instantiate modules into.
- ns := r.NewNamespace(ctx) // Note: this is closed when the Runtime is
+ r := wazero.NewRuntimeWithConfig(ctx, wazero.NewRuntimeConfig().WithCompilationCache(cache))
// Instantiate a new "env" module which exports a stateful function.
_, err := r.NewHostModuleBuilder("env").

This removes ProxyFunc, which was an internal experiment to make
functions that use memory to store parameters or results easier to see.
The main issue with the approach was instantiation performance, as it
needs to dynamically generate functions. Another approach to visibility
can happen later, for example via internal logging hooks.
Notably, this fixed the performance regression after switching WASI to ProxyFunc:
```

```
Since we also removed it from `GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js`, we experienced a performance
benefit there as well:
```

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)!

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.

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.

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.
