Summary:
When the WebAssembly backend encounters a return type that doesn't
fit within i32, SelectionDAG performs sret demotion, adding an
additional argument to the start of the function that contains
a pointer to an sret buffer to use instead. However, this conflicts
with the emscripten sjlj lowering pass. There we translate calls like:
```
call {i32, i32} @foo()
```
into (in pseudo-llvm)
```
%addr = @foo
call {i32, i32} @__invoke_{i32,i32}(%addr)
```
i.e. we perform an indirect call through an extra function.
However, the sret transform now transforms this into
the equivalent of
```
%addr = @foo
%sret = alloca {i32, i32}
call {i32, i32} @__invoke_{i32,i32}(%sret, %addr)
```
(while simultaneously translation the implementation of @foo as well).
Unfortunately, this doesn't work out. The __invoke_ ABI expected
the function address to be the first argument, causing crashes.
There is several possible ways to fix this:
1. Implementing the sret rewrite at the IR level as well and performing
it as part of lowering to __invoke
2. Fixing the wasm backend to recognize that __invoke has a special ABI
3. A change to the binaryen/emscripten ABI to recognize this situation
This revision implements the middle option, teaching the backend to
treat __invoke_ functions specially in sret lowering. This is achieved
by
1) Introducing a new CallingConv ID for invoke functions
2) When this CallingConv ID is seen in the backend and the first argument
is marked as sret (a function pointer would never be marked as sret),
swapping the first two arguments.

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 patch changes the code structure of
WebAssemblyLowerEmscriptenException pass to support both exception
handling and setjmp/longjmp. It also changes the name of the pass and
the source file.
1. Change the file/pass name to WebAssemblyLowerEmscriptenExceptions ->
WebAssemblyLowerEmscriptenEHSjLj to make it clear that it supports both
EH and SjLj
2. List function / global variable names at the top so they
can be changed easily
3. Some cosmetic changes

This patch adds -emscripten-cxx-exceptions-whitelist option to
WebAssemblyLowerEmscriptenExceptions pass. This options is the list of
function names in which Emscripten-style exception handling is enabled.
This is to support emscripten's EXCEPTION_CATCHING_WHITELIST which
exists because of the performance impact of emscripten's non-zero-cost
EH method.
