wasi-threads: add an initial implementation (WIP)
This change demonstrates a first step at how `wasi-threads` might be implemented in Wasmtime. It has hacks (described below), so it should only be consided a highly-experimental, use-at-your-own-risk work in progress. The included test file can be run with the following incantation (the `+nightly` is to allow the `Arc`-mutation hack): ``` cargo +nightly run -p wasmtime-cli --features wasi-threads -- \ tests/all/cli_tests/threads.wat \ --wasm-features threads --wasi-modules experimental-wasi-threads ``` Implementing this highlights two large issues still to be resolved: - _`Host` sharing_: the approach taken here is to clone the `Linker` so that `wasi-threads` has a separate version of it and to share the `Host` among threads using an `Arc<Host>`. This does nothing to protect the `Host` state from concurrent access--which it must be in a future iteration of this. This could be done with, e.g., a `Mutex` per WASI proposal, preventing any concurrent access for any method in that proposal, but unfortunately the signature of `get_cx` prevents me from using the `MutexGuard`. Some more refactoring and thinking is necessary here; suggestions welcome. - _Guest code traps_: this change has no way to recover from traps in the user function and return control to the thread entry point, which may be responsible for clean up (e.g., in C, `notify` any `pthread_join`ers that execution is complete). Note that the associated CLI test fails, but probably just due to my misunderstanding how to correctly tell the WAT library to enable the threads proposal: ``` cargo +nightly test --features wasi-threads -p wasmtime-cli -- cli_tests ```
