2114dfc492 Renames Runtime.DecodeModule to CompileModule (#351)
The best way to reduce performance impact of instantiating a module
multiple times is lowering it to wazero's IR or even generating
assembly. This renames `DecodeModule` to `CompileModule` to allow that
sort of side-effect to be obvious even if it isn't currently
implemented.

50d9fa58a1 Runtime.NewModule -> InstantiateModule and adds ModuleBuilder (#349)
This reverts `Runtime.NewModule` back to `InstantiateModule` as it calls
more attention to the registration aspect of it, and also makes a chain
of `NewXX` more clear. This is particularly helpful as this change
introduces `ModuleBuilder` which is created by `NewModuleBuilder`.

`ModuleBuilder` is a way to define a WebAssembly 1.0 (20191205) in Go.
The first iteration allows setting the module name and exported
functions. The next PR will add globals.

Ex. Below defines and instantiates a module named "env" with one function:

```go
hello := func() {
	fmt.Fprintln(stdout, "hello!")
}
_, err := r.NewModuleBuilder("env").ExportFunction("hello", hello).InstantiateModule()
```

If the same module may be instantiated multiple times, it is more efficient to separate steps. Ex.

```go
env, err := r.NewModuleBuilder("env").ExportFunction("get_random_string", getRandomString).Build()

_, err := r.InstantiateModule(env.WithName("env.1"))
_, err := r.InstantiateModule(env.WithName("env.2"))
```

Note: Builder methods do not return errors, to allow chaining. Any validation errors are deferred until Build.
Note: Insertion order is not retained. Anything defined by this builder is sorted lexicographically on Build.
