Alex Crichton f534974037 Add a new wide-arithmetic feature for WebAssembly
This commit adds a new rustc target feature named `wide-arithmetic` for
WebAssembly targets. This corresponds to the [wide-arithmetic] proposal
for WebAssembly which adds new instructions catered towards accelerating
integer arithmetic larger than 64-bits. This proposal to WebAssembly is
not standard yet so this new feature is flagged as an unstable target
feature. Additionally Rust's LLVM version doesn't support this new
feature yet since support will first be added in LLVM 20, so the
feature filtering logic for LLVM is updated to handle this.

I'll also note that I'm not currently planning to add wasm-specific
intrinsics to `std::arch::wasm32` at this time. The currently proposed
instructions are all accessible through `i128` or `u128`-based
operations which Rust already supports, so intrinsic shouldn't be
necessary to get access to these new instructions.

README.md

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
