2003: chore: Build Wasmer on musl r=jubianchi a=jubianchi
This patch adds a specific build for musl. Currently, it will only support JIT engine.
I also changes the workflow definition a bit so we don't depend on the OS name but rather on the environment ID which is our convention.

This patch removes the following type and functions:
* `wasmer_metering_points_t`,
* `wasmer_metering_points_delete`,
* `wasmer_metering_points_is_exhausted`,
* `wasmer_metering_points_t`,
* `wasmer_metering_points_unwrap_or`.
Now, `wasmer_metering_get_remaining_points` returns the number of
points, with zero to represent `MeteringPoints::Exhausted`.
The API is greatly simplified as there is no longer need to allocate
and deallocate a `wasmer_metering_points_t` type.
The new rule is the following:
* `wasm_` for the standard C API,
* `wasmer_` or `wasi_` for the Wasmer non-standard C API.
For all symbols inside the `unstable` module, the renaming `wasm_` to
`wasmer_` is done without deprecations. It was clear that those API
were unstable.
For all the other symbols, symbols have been renamed to `wasmer_` but
the old symbols have been kept with deprecation warnings.
Special note: The `wasm_named_extern_t` type (and associated
functions) was in `wasi` by mistake. Its place was in the `unstable`
module. This patch also fixes that.
The `wasm_declare_vec_*` macros have been updated to support a default
prefix, or a user-defined prefix. It's now possible to write
`wasm_declare_boxed_vec!(foo);` to get all the API prefixed by `wasm_`
(as previously), or `wasm_declare_boxed_vec!(foo, wasmer);` to prefix
with `wasmer_`.
A user not using symbols from the `unstable` module will continue to
get working code, modulo some deprecations, after this patch.
So. Let's explain a dirty hack. `cbindgen` reads the code and collects
symbols. What symbols do we need? None of the one declared in
`wasm.h`, but for non-standard API, we need to collect all of
them. The problem is that `wasm_named_extern_t` is the only
non-standard type where extra symbols are generated by a macro
(`wasm_declare_boxed_vec!`). If we want those macro-generated symbols
to be collected by `cbindgen`, we need to _expand_ the crate
(i.e. running something like `rustc -- -Zunstable-options
--pretty=expanded`). Expanding code is unstable and available only on
nightly compiler. We _don't want_ to use a nightly compiler only for
that. So how can we help `cbindgen` to _see_ those symbols?
First solution: We write the C code directly in a file, which is then
included in the generated header file with the `cbindgen`
API. Problem, it's super easy to get it outdated, and it makes the
build process more complex.
Second solution: We write those symbols in a custom module, that is
just here for `cbindgen`, never used by our Rust code (otherwise it's
duplicated code), with no particular implementation.
And that's why we have the following `cbindgen_hack` module.
But this module must not be compiled by `rustc`. How to force `rustc`
to ignore a module? With conditional compilation. Because `cbindgen`
does not support conditional compilation, it will always _ignore_ the
`#[cfg]` attribute, and will always read the content of the module.
Sorry.
Remove the `build.rs` hack to add helper functions that are used only
in our tests. Now the tests can use the `tests/wasmer_wasm.h` file,
which simplifies the test workflow: No need to hack the build script
or anything if we want to add a helper function.
It's very similar to `wasm_name_new_from_string` but for
`wasm_byte_vec_t`. It does not make sense to get that in the standard,
but it's very useful when writing tests.
1693: Add `wasmer create-exe` r=MarkMcCaskey a=MarkMcCaskey
This adds the `wasmer create-exe` subcommand. This subcommand is a combination of `wasmer compile --object-file` and linking that compiled Wasm with a main function and libwasmer. Put more plainly: it lets us transform Wasm modules into native executables in one step.
In order for this to work we need:
- [x] Ship wasm.h with Wasmer or use different mechanism to find it
- [x] Ship wasmer_wasm.h with Wasmer
- [x] Requires up to date libwasmer... had to build one and copy it over, may fail in CI because of this... will be fixed with next release though
- [x] More gracefully handle wasmer installed without WASMER_DIR, etc (even if just error messages, should be tested)
- [x] Add tests
