* Remove need for explicit `Config::async_support` knob

This commit is an attempt to step towards reconciling "old async" and
"new async" in Wasmtime. The old async style is the original async
support in Wasmtime with `call_async`, `func_wrap_async`, etc, where the
main property is that the store is "locked" during an async operation.
Put another way, a store can only execute at most one async operation at
a time. This is in contrast to "new async" support in Wasmtime with the
component-model-async (WASIp3) support, where stores can have more than
one async operation in flight at once.

This commit does not fully reconcile these differences, but it does
remove one hurdle along the way: `Config::async_support`. Since the
beginning of Wasmtime this configuration knob has existed to explicitly
demarcate a config/engine/store as "this thing requires `async` stuff
internally." This has started to make less and less sense over time
where the line between sync and async has become more murky with WASIp3
where the two worlds comingle. The goal of this commit is to deprecate
`Config::async_support` and make the function not actually do anything.

In isolation this can't simply be done, however, because there are many
load-bearing aspects of Wasmtime that rely on this `async_support` knob.
For example once epochs + yielding are enabled it's required that all
Wasm is executed on a fiber lest it hit an epoch and not know how to
yield. That means that this commit is not a simple removal of
`async_support` but instead a refactoring/rearchitecting of how async is
used internally within Wasmtime. The high-level ideas within Wasmtime
now are:

* A `Store` has a "requires async" boolean stored within it.
* All configuration options which end up requiring async, such as
yielding with epochs, turn this boolean on.
* Creation of host functions which use async
(e.g. `func_wrap_{async,concurrent}`) will also turn this option on.
* Synchronous API entrypoints into Wasmtime ensure that this boolean is
disabled.
* Asynchronous APIs are usable at any time.

This means that the concept of an async store vs a sync store is now
gone. All stores are equally capable of executing sync/async, and the
change now is that dynamically some stores will require that async is
used with certain configuration. Additionally all panicking conditions
around `async_support` have been converted to errors instead. All
relevant APIs already returned an error and things are murky enough now
that it's not necessarily trivial to get this right at the embedder
level. In the interest of avoiding panics all detected async mismatches
are now first-class `wasmtime::Error` values.

The end result of this commit is that `Config::async_support` is a
deprecated `#[doc(hidden)]` function that does nothing. While many
internal changes happened as well as having new tests for all this sort
of behavior this is not expected to have a great impact on external
consumers. In general a deletion of `async_support(true)` is in theory
all that's required. This is intended to make it easier to think about
async/sync/etc in the future with WASIp3 and eventually reconcile
`func_wrap_async` and `func_wrap_concurrent` for example. That's left
for future refactorings however.

Reuse Wasm linear memories code for GC heaps (#10503)

* Reuse code for Wasm linear memories for GC heaps

Instead of bespoke code paths and structures for Wasm GC, this commit makes it
so that we now reuse VM structures like `VMMemoryDefinition` and bounds-checking
logic. Notably, we also reuse all the associated bounds-checking optimizations
and, when possible, virtual-memory techniques to completely elide them.

Furthermore, this commit adds support for growing GC heaps, reusing the
machinery for growing memories, and makes it so that GC heaps always start out
empty. This allows us to properly delay allocating the GC heap's storage until a
GC object is actually allocated.

wasmtime-c-api: Add support for GC references in `wasmtime.h` APIs (#8346)

Restores support for `externref` in `wasmtime_val_t`, methods for manipulating
them and getting their wrapped host data, and examples/tests for these things.

Additionally adds support for `anyref` in `wasmtime_val_t`, clone/delete methods
similar to those for `externref`, and a few `i31ref`-specific methods. Also adds
C and Rust example / test for working with `anyref`.
