Summary:
This was always the intended behavior, but had not been
implemented. This ordering is important for Emscripten when generating
.mem files while compiling to JS, since only zeros at the end of
initialized memory can be dropped.

Summary:
- `__wasm_init_memory` is now the WebAssembly start function instead
of being called from `__wasm_call_ctors` or called directly by the
runtime.
- Adds a new synthetic data symbol `__wasm_init_memory_flag` that is
atomically incremented from zero to one by the thread responsible
for initializing memory.
- All threads now unconditionally perform data.drop on all passive
segments.
- Removes --passive-segments and --active-segments flags and controls
segment type based on --shared-memory instead. The deleted flags
were only present to ameliorate the upgrade path in Emscripten.

Summary:
Adds `--passive-segments` and `--active-segments` flags to control
what kind of segments are emitted. For now the default is always
to emit active segments so this is not a breaking change, but in
the future the default will be changed to passive segments when
shared memory is requested and active segments otherwise. When
passive segments are emitted, corresponding memory.init and
data.drop instructions are emitted in a `__wasm_init_memory`
function that is automatically called at the beginning of
`__wasm_call_ctors`.

Summary:
The DataCount section is necessary for the bulk memory operations
memory.init and data.drop to validate, but it is not recognized by
engines that do not support bulk memory, so emit the section only if
bulk-memory is enabled.

Since we a no longer using this function for the wasm start
section we don't actually care what its signature is.

Merging data segments produces smaller code sizes because each segment
has some boilerplate. Therefore, merging data segments is generally the
right approach, especially with wasm where binaries are typically
delivered over the network.
However, when analyzing wasm binaries, it can be helpful to get a
conservative picture of which functions are using which data
segments[0]. Perhaps there is a large data segment that you didn't
expect to be included in the wasm, introduced by some library you're
using, and you'd like to know which library it was. In this scenario,
merging data segments only makes the analysis worse.
Alternatively, perhaps you will remove some dead functions by-hand[1]
that can't be statically proven dead by the compiler or lld, and
removing these functions might make some data garbage collect-able, and
you'd like to run `--gc-sections` again so that this now-unused data can
be collected. If the segments were originally merged, then a single use
of the merged data segment will entrench all of the data.
