This fixes a mistake introduced in bytecodealliance#7996 where a `global.get` used to initialize a table did not properly drop previous items in the table causing them to leak as the reference count was not decremented.

This commit is an attempt to make the mistake fixed in bytecodealliance#8016 harder to happen again. This removes the `set_raw` helper entirely from tables and instead forces all callers to view the table as either a table of funcrefs or a table of externefs. By forcing that choice outwards instead of handling it inwards it enables dealing with a typed table in more contexts which should help naturally do the right thing.

Actually, there's another issue I've found, so I've opted for a larger refactor in #8018 to fix this (test included over there) |
