Apply features from the commandline first (#3960)

As suggested in

https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/pull/3955#issuecomment-871016647

This applies commandline features first. If the features section is present, and
disallows some of them, then we warn. Otherwise, the features can combine
(for example, a wasm may enable feature X because it has to use it, and a user
can simply add the flag for feature Y if they want the optimizer to try to use it;
both flags will then be enabled).

This is important because in some cases we need to know the features before
parsing the wasm, in the case that the wasm does not use the features section.
In particular, non-nullable GC locals have an effect during parsing. (Typed
function references also does, but we found a way to apply its effect all the time,
that is, always use the refined type, and that happened to not break the case
where the feature is disabled - but such a workaround is not possible with
non-nullable locals.)

To make this less error-prone, add a FeatureSet input as a parameter to
WasmBinaryBuilder. That is, when building a module, we must give it the
features to use while doing so.

This will unblock #3955 . That PR will also add a test for the actual usage
of a feature during loading (the test can only be added there, after that PR
unbreaks things).
