Most of the work was changing a bunch of u32 values to u64/usize.
The decisions were made in align with the PR #3153 which
implemented the memory64 propsal itself.

One significant change was the introduction of `IndexType`
and `Limits` which streamline and unify the handling of limits
for both memories and tables.

The spec and fuzzing tests related to table64 are re-enabled which

* c-api: Create `RootScope` where necessary

This commit changes the `wasmtime_val_t::{from_val, to_val}` methods to
take a `RootScope` instead of any `AsContextMut`. This then required a
number of refactorings in callers to ensure that a `RootScope` was
created for any function that needed one. This is required to ensure
that GC references in the C API aren't forced to live for the entire
lifetime of the store.

This additionally added `*_unrooted` variants which do the same thing
but don't require `RootScope`. This was needed for when the C API calls
out to the embedder through a function call because a new `RootScope`
wouldn't work for return values (they're bound to a scope within the
closure when we want them to outlive the closure). In these situations
though we know a `RootScope` is already present at the entrypoint.

Add `GcRuntime` and `GcCompiler` traits; `i31ref` support (#8196)

\### The `GcRuntime` and `GcCompiler` Traits

This commit factors out the details of the garbage collector away from the rest
of the runtime and the compiler. It does this by introducing two new traits,
very similar to a subset of [those proposed in the Wasm GC RFC], although not
all equivalent functionality has been added yet because Wasmtime doesn't
support, for example, GC structs yet:

[those proposed in the Wasm GC RFC]: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/blob/main/accepted/wasm-gc.md#defining-the-pluggable-gc-interface

1. The `GcRuntime` trait: This trait defines how to create new GC heaps, run
collections within them, and execute the various GC barriers the collector
requires.

Rather than monomorphize all of Wasmtime on this trait, we use it
as a dynamic trait object. This does imply some virtual call overhead and
missing some inlining (and resulting post-inlining) optimization
opportunities. However, it is *much* less disruptive to the existing embedder
API, results in a cleaner embedder API anyways, and we don't believe that VM
runtime/embedder code is on the hot path for working with the GC at this time
anyways (that would be the actual Wasm code, which has inlined GC barriers
and direct calls and all of that). In the future, once we have optimized
enough of the GC that such code is ever hot, we have options we can
investigate at that time to avoid these dynamic virtual calls, like only
enabling one single collector at build time and then creating a static type
alias like `type TheOneGcImpl = ...;` based on the compile time
configuration, and using this type alias in the runtime rather than a dynamic
trait object.

The `GcRuntime` trait additionally defines a method to reset a GC heap, for
use by the pooling allocator. This allows reuse of GC heaps across different
stores. This integration is very rudimentary at the moment, and is missing
all kinds of configuration knobs that we should have before deploying Wasm GC
in production. This commit is large enough as it is already! Ideally, in the
future, I'd like to make it so that GC heaps receive their memory region,
rather than allocate/reserve it themselves, and let each slot in the pooling
allocator's memory pool be *either* a linear memory or a GC heap. This would
unask various capacity planning questions such as "what percent of memory
capacity should we dedicate to linear memories vs GC heaps?". It also seems
like basically all the same configuration knobs we have for linear memories
apply equally to GC heaps (see also the "Indexed Heaps" section below).

2. The `GcCompiler` trait: This trait defines how to emit CLIF that implements
GC barriers for various operations on GC-managed references. The Rust code
calls into this trait dynamically via a trait object, but since it is
customizing the CLIF that is generated for Wasm code, the Wasm code itself is
not making dynamic, indirect calls for GC barriers. The `GcCompiler`
implementation can inline the parts of GC barrier that it believes should be
inline, and leave out-of-line calls to rare slow paths.

All that said, there is still only a single implementation of each of these
traits: the existing deferred reference-counting (DRC) collector. So there is a
bunch of code motion in this commit as the DRC collector was further isolated
from the rest of the runtime and moved to its own submodule. That said, this was
not *purely* code motion (see "Indexed Heaps" below) so it is worth not simply
skipping over the DRC collector's code in review.

\### Indexed Heaps

This commit does bake in a couple assumptions that must be shared across all
collector implementations, such as a shared `VMGcHeader` that all objects
allocated within a GC heap must begin with, but the most notable and
far-reaching of these assumptions is that all collectors will use "indexed
heaps".

What we are calling indexed heaps are basically the three following invariants:

1. All GC heaps will be a single contiguous region of memory, and all GC objects
will be allocated within this region of memory. The collector may ask the
system allocator for additional memory, e.g. to maintain its free lists, but
GC objects themselves will never be allocated via `malloc`.

2. A pointer to a GC-managed object (i.e. a `VMGcRef`) is a 32-bit offset into
the GC heap's contiguous region of memory. We never hold raw pointers to GC
objects (although, of course, we have to compute them and use them
temporarily when actually accessing objects). This means that deref'ing GC
pointers is equivalent to deref'ing linear memory pointers: we need to add a
base and we also check that the GC pointer/index is within the bounds of the
GC heap. Furthermore, compressing 64-bit pointers into 32 bits is a fairly
common technique among high-performance GC
implementations[^compressed-oops][^v8-ptr-compression] so we are in good
company.

3. Anything stored inside the GC heap is untrusted. Even each GC reference that
is an element of an `(array (ref any))` is untrusted, and bounds checked on
access. This means that, for example, we do not store the raw pointer to an
`externref`'s host object inside the GC heap. Instead an `externref` now
stores an ID that can be used to index into a side table in the store that
holds the actual `Box<dyn Any>` host object, and accessing that side table is
always checked.

[^compressed-oops]: See ["Compressed OOPs" in
OpenJDK.](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/HotSpot/CompressedOops)

[^v8-ptr-compression]: See [V8's pointer
compression](https://v8.dev/blog/pointer-compression).

The good news with regards to all the bounds checking that this scheme implies
is that we can use all the same virtual memory tricks that linear memories use
to omit explicit bounds checks. Additionally, (2) means that the sizes of GC
objects is that much smaller (and therefore that much more cache friendly)
because they are only holding onto 32-bit, rather than 64-bit, references to
other GC objects. (We can, in the future, support GC heaps up to 16GiB in size
without losing 32-bit GC pointers by taking advantage of `VMGcHeader` alignment
and storing aligned indices rather than byte indices, while still leaving the
bottom bit available for tagging as an `i31ref` discriminant. Should we ever
need to support even larger GC heap capacities, we could go to full 64-bit
references, but we would need explicit bounds checks.)

The biggest benefit of indexed heaps is that, because we are (explicitly or
implicitly) bounds checking GC heap accesses, and because we are not otherwise
trusting any data from inside the GC heap, we greatly reduce how badly things
can go wrong in the face of collector bugs and GC heap corruption. We are
essentially sandboxing the GC heap region, the same way that linear memory is a
sandbox. GC bugs could lead to the guest program accessing the wrong GC object,
or getting garbage data from within the GC heap. But only garbage data from
within the GC heap, never outside it. The worse that could happen would be if we
decided not to zero out GC heaps between reuse across stores (which is a valid
trade off to make, since zeroing a GC heap is a defense-in-depth technique
similar to zeroing a Wasm stack and not semantically visible in the absence of
GC bugs) and then a GC bug would allow the current Wasm guest to read old GC
data from the old Wasm guest that previously used this GC heap. But again, it
could never access host data.

Taken altogether, this allows for collector implementations that are nearly free
from `unsafe` code, and unsafety can otherwise be targeted and limited in scope,
such as interactions with JIT code. Most importantly, we do not have to maintain
critical invariants across the whole system -- invariants which can't be nicely
encapsulated or abstracted -- to preserve memory safety. Such holistic
invariants that refuse encapsulation are otherwise generally a huge safety
problem with GC implementations.

\### `VMGcRef` is *NOT* `Clone` or `Copy` Anymore

`VMGcRef` used to be `Clone` and `Copy`. It is not anymore. The motivation here
was to be sure that I was actually calling GC barriers at all the correct
places. I couldn't be sure before. Now, you can still explicitly copy a raw GC
reference without running GC barriers if you need to and understand why that's
okay (aka you are implementing the collector), but that is something you have to
opt into explicitly by calling `unchecked_copy`. The default now is that you
can't just copy the reference, and instead call an explicit `clone` method (not
*the* `Clone` trait, because we need to pass in the GC heap context to run the
GC barriers) and it is hard to forget to do that accidentally. This resulted in
a pretty big amount of churn, but I am wayyyyyy more confident that the correct
GC barriers are called at the correct times now than I was before.

\### `i31ref`

I started this commit by trying to add `i31ref` support. And it grew into the
whole traits interface because I found that I needed to abstract GC barriers
into helpers anyways to avoid running them for `i31ref`s, so I figured that I
might as well add the whole traits interface. In comparison, `i31ref` support is
much easier and smaller than that other part! But it was also difficult to pull
apart from this commit, sorry about that!

---------------------

Overall, I know this is a very large commit. I am super happy to have some
synchronous meetings to walk through this all, give an overview of the
architecture, answer questions directly, etc... to make review easier!

We have a few sometimes

Define garbage collection rooting APIs (#8011)

* Define garbage collection rooting APIs

Rooting prevents GC objects from being collected while they are actively being
used.

We have a few sometimes-conflicting goals with our GC rooting APIs:

1. Safety: It should never be possible to get a use-after-free bug because the
user misused the rooting APIs, the collector "mistakenly" determined an
object was unreachable and collected it, and then the user tried to access
the object. This is our highest priority.

2. Moving GC: Our rooting APIs should moving collectors (such as generational
and compacting collectors) where an object might get relocated after a
collection and we need to update the GC root's pointer to the moved
object. This means we either need cooperation and internal mutability from
individual GC roots as well as the ability to enumerate all GC roots on the
native Rust stack, or we need a level of indirection.

3. Performance: Our rooting APIs should generally be as low-overhead as
possible. They definitely shouldn't require synchronization and locking to
create, access, and drop GC roots.

4. Ergonomics: Our rooting APIs should be, if not a pleasure, then at least not
a burden for users. Additionally, the API's types should be `Sync` and `Send`
so that they work well with async Rust.

For example, goals (3) and (4) are in conflict when we think about how to
support (2). Ideally, for ergonomics, a root would automatically unroot itself
when dropped. But in the general case that requires holding a reference to the
store's root set, and that root set needs to be held simultaneously by all GC
roots, and they each need to mutate the set to unroot themselves. That implies
`Rc<RefCell<...>>` or `Arc<Mutex<...>>`! The former makes the store and GC root
types not `Send` and not `Sync`. The latter imposes synchronization and locking
overhead. So we instead make GC roots indirect and require passing in a store
context explicitly to unroot in the general case. This trades worse ergonomics
for better performance and support for moving GC and async Rust.

Okay, with that out of the way, this module provides two flavors of rooting
API. One for the common, scoped lifetime case, and another for the rare case
where we really need a GC root with an arbitrary, non-LIFO/non-scoped lifetime:

1. `RootScope` and `Rooted<T>`: These are used for temporarily rooting GC
objects for the duration of a scope. Upon exiting the scope, they are
automatically unrooted. The internal implementation takes advantage of the
LIFO property inherent in scopes, making creating and dropping `Rooted<T>`s
and `RootScope`s super fast and roughly equivalent to bump allocation.

This type is vaguely similar to V8's [`HandleScope`].

[`HandleScope`]: https://v8.github.io/api/head/classv8_1_1HandleScope.html

Note that `Rooted<T>` can't be statically tied to its context scope via a
lifetime parameter, unfortunately, as that would allow the creation and use
of only one `Rooted<T>` at a time, since the `Rooted<T>` would take a borrow
of the whole context.

This supports the common use case for rooting and provides good ergonomics.

2. `ManuallyRooted<T>`: This is the fully general rooting API used for holding
onto non-LIFO GC roots with arbitrary lifetimes. However, users must manually
unroot them. Failure to manually unroot a `ManuallyRooted<T>` before it is
dropped will result in the GC object (and everything it transitively
references) leaking for the duration of the `Store`'s lifetime.

This type is roughly similar to SpiderMonkey's [`PersistentRooted<T>`],
although they avoid the manual-unrooting with internal mutation and shared
references. (Our constraints mean we can't do those things, as mentioned
explained above.)

[`PersistentRooted<T>`]: http://devdoc.net/web/developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_reference/JS::PersistentRooted.html

At the end of the day, both `Rooted<T>` and `ManuallyRooted<T>` are just tagged
indices into the store's `RootSet`. This indirection allows working with Rust's
borrowing discipline (we use `&mut Store` to represent mutable access to the GC
heap) while still allowing rooted references to be moved around without tying up
the whole store in borrows. Additionally, and crucially, this indirection allows
us to update the *actual* GC pointers in the `RootSet` and support moving GCs
(again, as mentioned above).

Wasmtime: Finish support for the typed function references proposal (#7943)

* Wasmtime: Finish support for the typed function references proposal

While we supported the function references proposal

Wasmtime: Finish support for the typed function references proposal (#7943)

* Wasmtime: Finish support for the typed function references proposal

While we supported the function references proposal inside Wasm, we didn't
support it on the "outside" in the Wasmtime embedder APIs. So much of the work
here is exposing typed function references, and their type system updates, in
the embedder API. These changes include:

* `ValType::FuncRef` and `ValType::ExternRef` are gone, replaced with the
introduction of the `RefType` and `HeapType` types and a
`ValType::Ref(RefType)` variant.

* `ValType` and `FuncType` no longer implement `Eq` and `PartialEq`. Instead
there are `ValType::matches` and `FuncType::matches` methods which check
directional subtyping. I also added `ValType::eq` and `FuncType::eq` static
methods for the rare case where someone needs to check precise equality, but
that is almost never actually the case, 99.99% of the time you want to check
subtyping.

* There are also public `Val::matches_ty` predicates for checking if a value is
an instance of a type, as well as internal helpers like
`Val::ensure_matches_ty` that return a formatted error if the value does not
match the given type. These helpers are used throughout Wasmtime internals
now.

* There is now a dedicated `wasmtime::Ref` type that represents reference
values. Table operations have been updated to take and return `Ref`s rather
than `Val`s.

Furthermore, this commit also includes type registry changes to correctly manage
lifetimes of types that reference other types. This wasn't previously an issue
because the only thing that could reference types that reference other types was
a Wasm module that added all the types that could reference each other at the
same time and removed them all at the same time. But now that the previously
discussed work to expose these things in the embedder API is done, type lifetime
management in the registry becomes a little trickier because the embedder might
grab a reference to a type that references another type, and then unload the
Wasm module that originally defined that type, but then the user should still be
able use that type and the other types it transtively references. Before, we
were refcounting individual registry entries. Now, we still are refcounting
individual entries, but now we are also accounting for type-to-type references
and adding a new type to the registry will increment the refcounts of each of
the types that it references, and removing a type from the registry will
decrement the refcounts of each of the types it references, and then recursively
(logically, not literally) remove any types whose refcount has now reached zero.

Additionally, this PR adds support for subtyping to `Func::typed`- and
`Func::wrap`-style APIs. For result types, you can always use a supertype of the
WebAssembly function's actual declared return type in `Func::typed`. And for
param types, you can always use a subtype of the Wasm function's actual declared
param type. Doing these things essentially erases information but is always
correct. But additionally, for functions which take a reference to a concrete
type as a parameter, you can also use the concrete type's supertype. Consider a
WebAssembly function that takes a reference to a function with a concrete type:
`(ref null <func type index>)`. In this scenario, there is no static
`wasmtime::Foo` Rust type that corresponds to that particular Wasm-defined
concrete reference type because Wasm modules are loaded dynamically at
runtime. You *could* do `f.typed::<Option<NoFunc>, ()>()`, and while that is
correctly typed and valid, it is often overly restrictive. The only value you
could call the resulting typed function with is the null function reference, but
we'd like to call it with non-null function references that happen to be of the
correct type. Therefore, `f.typed<Option<Func>, ()>()` is also allowed in this
case, even though `Option<Func>` represents `(ref null func)` which is the
supertype, not subtype, of `(ref null <func type index>)`. This does imply some
minimal dynamic type checks in this case, but it is supported for better
ergonomics, to enable passing non-null references into the function.

We can investigate whether it is possible to use generic type parameters and
combinators to define Rust types that precisely match concrete reference types
in future, follow-up pull requests. But for now, we've made things usable, at
least.

Finally, this also takes the first baby step towards adding support for the Wasm
GC proposal. Right now the only thing that is supported is `nofunc` references,
and this was mainly to make testing function reference subtyping easier. But
that does mean that supporting `nofunc` references entailed also adding a
`wasmtime::NoFunc` type as well as the `Config::wasm_gc(enabled)` knob. So we
officially have an in-progress implementation of Wasm GC in Wasmtime after this
PR lands!

Remove `HostRef<T>` from the C API (#1926)

This commit removes `HostRef<T>` from the C API which only served the
purpose now of converting each type to a `wasm_ref_t*`. Our
implementation, however, does not guarantee that you'll get the same
`wasm_ref_t*` for each actual underlying item (e.g. if you put a func in
a table and then get the func as an export and from the table then
`same` will report `false`). Additionally the fate of `wasm_ref_t*`
seems somewhat unclear at this point.

The change here is to make the `same` and cast functions all abort
saying they're unimplemented. (similar to the host info functions). If
and when we get around to reimplementing these functions we can ensure
they're implemented uniformly and work well for all intended use cases.

wasmtime: Add support for `func.ref` and `table.grow` with `funcref`s

`funcref`s are implemented as `NonNull<VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc>`.

This should be more efficient than using a `VMExternRef` that points at a
`VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` because it gets rid of an indirection, dynamic
allocation, and some reference counting.

Note that the null function reference is *NOT* a null pointer; it is a
`VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` that has a null `func_ptr` member.

wasmtime: Initial, partial support for `externref`

This is enough to get an `externref -> externref` identity function
passing.

However, `externref`s that are dropped by compiled Wasm code are (safely)
leaked. Follow up work will leverage cranelift's stack maps to resolve this
issue.

Add wasmtime-specific C APIs for tables (#1654)

This commit adds a suite of `wasmtime_funcref_table_*` APIs which mirror
the standard APIs but have a few differences:

* More errors are returned. For example error messages are communicated
through `wasmtime_error_t` and out-of-bounds vs load of null can be
differentiated in the `get` API.

* APIs take `wasm_func_t` instead of `wasm_ref_t`. Given the recent
decision to remove subtyping from the anyref proposal it's not clear
how the C API for tables will be affected, so for now these APIs are
all specialized to only funcref tables.

* Growth now allows access to the previous size of the table, if
desired, which mirrors the `table.grow` instruction.

This was originally motivated by bytecodealliance/wasmtime-go#5 where
the current APIs we have for working with tables don't quite work. We
don't have a great way to take an anyref constructed from a `Func` and
get the `Func` back out, so for now this sidesteps those concerns while
we sort out the anyref story.

It's intended that once the anyref story has settled and the official C
API has updated we'll likely delete these wasmtime-specific APIs or
implement them as trivial wrappers around the official ones.

Refactor (#1524)

* Compute instance exports on demand.

Instead having instances eagerly compute a Vec of Externs, and bumping
the refcount for each Extern, compute Externs on demand.

This also enables `Instance::get_export` to avoid doing a linear search.

This also means that the closure returned by `get0` and friends now
holds an `InstanceHandle` to dynamically hold the instance live rather
than being scoped to a lifetime.

* Compute module imports and exports on demand too.

And compute Extern::ty on demand too.

* Add a utility function for computing an ExternType.

* Add a utility function for looking up a function's signature.

* Add a utility function for computing the ValType of a Global.

* Rename wasmtime_environ::Export to EntityIndex.

This helps differentiate it from other Export types in the tree, and
describes what it is.

* Fix a typo in a comment.

* Simplify module imports and exports.

* Make `Instance::exports` return the export names.

This significantly simplifies the public API, as it's relatively common
to need the names, and this avoids the need to do a zip with
`Module::exports`.

This also changes `ImportType` and `ExportType` to have public members
instead of private members and accessors, as I find that simplifies the
usage particularly in cases where there are temporary instances.

* Remove `Instance::module`.

This doesn't quite remove `Instance`'s `module` member, it gets a step
closer.

* Use a InstanceHandle utility function.

* Don't consume self in the `Func::get*` methods.

Instead, just create a closure containing the instance handle and the
export for them to call.

* Use `ExactSizeIterator` to avoid needing separate `num_*` methods.

* Rename `Extern::func()` etc. to `into_func()` etc.

* Revise examples to avoid using `nth`.

* Add convenience methods to instance for getting specific extern types.

* Use the convenience functions in more tests and examples.

* Avoid cloning strings for `ImportType` and `ExportType`.

* Remove more obviated clone() calls.

* Simplify `Func`'s closure state.

* Make wasmtime::Export's fields private.

This makes them more consistent with ExportType.

* Fix compilation error.

* Make a lifetime parameter explicit, and use better lifetime names.

Instead of 'me, use 'instance and 'module to make it clear what the
lifetime is.

* More lifetime cleanups.
