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)!

This removes the constraint of a module being exclusively wasm or host
functions. Later pull requests can optimize special imports to be
implemented in wasm, particularly useful for disabled logging callbacks.

This commit implements the v128.const, i32x4.add and i64x2.add in
interpreter mode and this adds support for the vector value types in the
locals and globals.
Notably, the vector type values can be passed and returned by exported functions
as well as host functions via two-uint64 encodings as described in #484 (comment).
Note: implementation of these instructions on JIT will be done in subsequent PR.

This commit completes the reference-types proposal implementation.
Notably, this adds support for
* `ref.is_null`, `ref.func`, `ref.is_null` instructions
* `table.get`, `table.set`, `table.grow`, `table.size` and `table.fill` instructions
* `Externref` and `Funcref` types (including invocation via uint64 encoding).

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.

This adds `RuntimeConfig.WithFeatureMutableGlobal(enabled bool)`, which
allows disabling of mutable globals. When disabled, any attempt to add a
mutable global, either explicitly or implicitly via decoding wasm will
fail.
To support this, there's a new `Features` bitflag that can allow up to
63 feature toggles without passing structs.
While here, I fixed a significant performance problem in decoding
binary:

MVP was a term used by WebAssembly insiders when ramping up to the 1.0
spec. While these folks still use that term it is confusing and
unnecessary way to qualify a W3C version. Here are some of the problems:
* MVP does not match a W3C published URL
* MVP does not match a git tag on the spec repo
* MVP was a work in progress, so there are text that say "not in MVP"
which ended up in 1.0 (as MVP became more than it was).
* MVP is jargon to people who don't know that stands for Minimum Viable Product.
This stops this practice and instead uses the W3C 1.0 Draft version
instead: 20191205

This moves to a new end-user API under the root package `wazero`. This
simplifies call sites while hardening function calls to their known
return value. Most importantly, this moves most logic internal, as
noted in the RATIONALE.md.
Ex.
```go
// Read WebAssembly binary containing an exported "fac" function.
source, _ := os.ReadFile("./tests/engine/testdata/fac.wasm")
// Decode the binary as WebAssembly module.
mod, _ := wazero.DecodeModuleBinary(source)
// Initialize the execution environment called "store" with Interpreter-based engine.
store := wazero.NewStore()
// Instantiate the module, which returns its exported functions
functions, _ := store.Instantiate(mod)
// Get the factorial function
fac, _ := functions.GetFunctionI64Return("fac")
// Discover 7! is 5040
fmt.Println(fac(context.Background(), 7))
```
PS I changed the README to factorial because the wat version of
fibonacci is not consistent with the TinyGo one!
