        <description>Implement interrupting wasm code, reimplement stack overflow (#1490)* Implement interrupting wasm code, reimplement stack overflowThis commit is a relatively large change for wasmtime with two maingoals:* Primarily this enables interrupting executing wasm code with a trap,  preventing infinite loops in wasm code. Note that resumption of the  wasm code is not a goal of this commit.* Additionally this commit reimplements how we handle stack overflow to  ensure that host functions always have a reasonable amount of stack to  run on. This fixes an issue where we might longjmp out of a host  function, skipping destructors.Lots of various odds and ends end up falling out in this commit once thetwo goals above were implemented. The strategy for implementing this wasalso lifted from Spidermonkey and existing functionality inside ofCranelift. I&apos;ve tried to write up thorough documentation of how this allworks in `crates/environ/src/cranelift.rs` where gnarly-ish bits are.A brief summary of how this works is that each function and each loopheader now checks to see if they&apos;re interrupted. Interrupts and thestack overflow check are actually folded into one now, where functionheaders check to see if they&apos;ve run out of stack and the sentinel valueused to indicate an interrupt, checked in loop headers, tricks functionsinto thinking they&apos;re out of stack. An interrupt is basically justwriting a value to a location which is read by JIT code.When interrupts are delivered and what triggers them has been left up toembedders of the `wasmtime` crate. The `wasmtime::Store` type has amethod to acquire an `InterruptHandle`, where `InterruptHandle` is a`Send` and `Sync` type which can travel to other threads (or perhapseven a signal handler) to get notified from. It&apos;s intended that thisprovides a good degree of flexibility when interrupting wasm code. Notethough that this does have a large caveat where interrupts don&apos;t workwhen you&apos;re interrupting host code, so if you&apos;ve got a host importblocking for a long time an interrupt won&apos;t actually be received untilthe wasm starts running again.Some fallout included from this change is:* Unix signal handlers are no longer registered with `SA_ONSTACK`.  Instead they run on the native stack the thread was already using.  This is possible since stack overflow isn&apos;t handled by hitting the  guard page, but rather it&apos;s explicitly checked for in wasm now. Native  stack overflow will continue to abort the process as usual.* Unix sigaltstack management is now no longer necessary since we don&apos;t  use it any more.* Windows no longer has any need to reset guard pages since we no longer  try to recover from faults on guard pages.* On all targets probestack intrinsics are disabled since we use a  different mechanism for catching stack overflow.* The C API has been updated with interrupts handles. An example has  also been added which shows off how to interrupt a module.Closes #139Closes #860Closes #900* Update comment about magical interrupt value* Store stack limit as a global value, not a closure* Run rustfmt* Handle review comments* Add a comment about SA_ONSTACK* Use `usize` for type of `INTERRUPTED`* Parse human-readable durations* Bring back sigaltstack handlingAllows libstd to print out stack overflow on failure still.* Add parsing and emission of stack limit-via-preamble* Fix new example for new apis* Fix host segfault test in release mode* Fix new doc example
