Previously, an "r" constraint would mean the compiler provides a value
on WebAssembly's operand stack. This was tricky to use properly,
particularly since it isn't possible to declare a new local from within
an inline asm string.
With this patch, "r" provides the value in a WebAssembly local, and the
local index is provided to the inline asm string. This requires inline
asm to use get_local and set_local to read the register. This does
potentially result in larger code size, however inline asm should
hopefully be quite rare in WebAssembly.
This also means that the "m" constraint can no longer be supported, as
WebAssembly has nothing like a "memory operand" that includes an
implicit get_local.
This fixes PR34599 for the wasm32-unknown-unknown-wasm target (though
not for the ELF target).

To facilitate this, add a new hidden command-line option to disable
the explicit-locals pass. That causes llc to emit invalid code that doesn't
have all locals converted to get_local/set_local, however it simplifies
testwriting in many cases.

With the "wasm32-unknown-unknown-wasm" triple, this allows writing out
simple wasm object files, and is another step in a larger series toward
migrating from ELF to general wasm object support. Note that this code
and the binary format itself is still experimental.

This changes locals from being declared by the emitLocal hook in
WebAssemblyTargetStreamer, rather than with an instruction. After exploring
the infastructure in LLVM more, this seems to make more sense since
declaring locals doesn't use an encoded opcode.
This also adds more 0xd opcodes, type encodings, and miscellaneous
binary encoding bits.

This patch adds a pass, controlled by an option and off by default for
now, for making implicit get_local/set_local explicit. This simplifies
emitting wasm with MC.
