Implement a first-class error for reexported component functions (byt…
…ecodealliance#4348) Currently I don't know how we can reasonably implement this. Given all the signatures of how we call functions and how functions are called on the host there's no real feasible way that I know of to hook these two up "seamlessly". This means that a component which reexports an imported function can't be run in Wasmtime. One of the main reasons for this is that when calling a component function Wasmtime wants to lower arguments first and then have them lifted when the host is called. With a reexport though there's not actually anything to lower into so we'd sort of need something similar to a table on the side or maybe a linear memory and that seems like it'd get quite complicated quite quickly for not really all that much benefit. As-such for now this simply returns a first-class error (rather than the current panic) in situations like this.
