This adds basic support for exception handling instructions, according
to the spec:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/exception-handling/blob/master/proposals/Exceptions.md
This PR includes support for:
- Binary reading/writing
- Wast reading/writing
- Stack IR
- Validation
- binaryen.js + C API
- Few IR routines: branch-utils, type-updating, etc
- Few passes: just enough to make `wasm-opt -O` pass
- Tests
This PR does not include support for many optimization passes, fuzzer,
or interpreter. They will be follow-up PRs.
Try-catch construct is modeled in Binaryen IR in a similar manner to
that of if-else: each of try body and catch body will contain a block,
which can be omitted if there is only a single instruction. This block
will not be emitted in wast or binary, as in if-else. As in if-else,
`class Try` contains two expressions each for try body and catch body,
and `catch` is not modeled as an instruction. `exnref` value pushed by
`catch` is get by `pop` instruction.
`br_on_exn` is special: it returns different types of values when taken
and not taken. We make `exnref`, the type `br_on_exn` pushes if not
taken, as `br_on_exn`'s type.
