This renames `InstantiateModuleFromBinary` to `Instantiate` to both make
first time use simpler to write and also de-complicate adding a
`WithConfig` variant as requested in #1105
End users in simple case need to change their signature like so.
```diff
- mod, err := r.InstantiateModuleFromBinary(ctx, addWasm)
+ mod, err := r.Instantiate(ctx, addWasm)
```
In practice, many will not need to change their signature because they
had to use the `InstantiateModule` function in order to assign
configuration such as the module name, filesystem or use a real clock.
Instead, they had to use the more complicated chain of `CompileModule`
and `InstantiateModule` even when only assigning config. Users in this
situation can opt into the more simplified syntax below:
```go
mod, err := r.InstantiateWithConfig(ctx, addWasm,
wazero.NewModuleConfig().WithName("adder"))
```
```diff
- mod, err := r.InstantiateModuleFromBinary(ctx, addWasm)
+ mod, err := r.Instantiate(ctx, addWasm)
```

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").

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 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.
Before
```
BenchmarkHostCall/Call
BenchmarkHostCall/Call-16 1000000 1050 ns/op
Benchmark_EnvironGet/environGet

```
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 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.
