The `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` target does not build dynamic libraries
for now:
```
warning: dropping unsupported crate type `cdylib` for target `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`
```
A target may now be optionally specified to the root `Makefile`,
example:
`make RUST_TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl && sudo make
RUST_TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl install`
The new musl targets may be used to create entirely static binaries with
libextism. See the new `musl-static` target in `libextism/Makefile`
Adds `pkg-config` configs for dynamic and static builds of libextism.
Example usage is shown in `libextism/Makefile`.
Added the `.in` versions of the `.pc` files to non-MSVC releases.
* libextism is now built to crate-type `staticlib` as recommend by
@zshipko
* updated `Makefile` to install and uninstall the static library.
* updated c example to have `static` target to link libextism statically
* Compiler is no longer hardcoded to `clang`. Set `CC` to use a compiler
other than the system compiler. Tested with `gcc` and `clang`.
* added `static-artifact` to actions release. Untested as it's only ran
on push with tag.

- Adds benchmarking, run with `cargo bench` or `cargo criterion`
- Adds `MemoryRoot::pointer_in_bounds_fast` to do less precise bounds
checking in loads/stores

This PR adds the `kernel` directory which contains a port of the Extism
memory allocator compiled to WebAssembly and removes
`runtime/src/memory.rs` completely.
Being able to re-use memory functions as a WASM module allows us to
begin to experiment with porting Extism to new runtimes!
This is in a draft state while I'm verifying some of these changes.
- New types:
- `ExtismValType` - Enum of WebAssembly types
- `ExtismValUnion` - A union of the possible WebAssembly types
- `ExtismVal` - A struct with `ExtismValType` and `ExtismValUnion`
- `ExtismFunction` - The host function wrapper type
- `ExtismFunctionType` - The type of the host function callback
- `ExtismCurrentPlugin` - Provides access to the currently running
plugin from inside a host function
- New functions:
- `extism_function_new` - Create a new `ExtismFunction`
- `extism_function_free` - Free an `ExtismFunction`
- `extism_current_plugin_memory`, `extism_current_plugin_memory_alloc`,
`extism_current_plugin_memory_free`,
`extism_current_plugin_memory_length` - Manage plugin memory from inside
a host functions
- Updated functions
- `extism_plugin_new` and `extsim_plugin_update` - now accept two extra
parameters for `ExtismFunction*` array and length of that array
## Notes
- Host functions take a user-data argument, which is owned by the
resulting `ExtismFunction` and will be cleaned up when
`extism_function_free` is called (if a cleanup function was passed in
with the user data)
- Host functions in every SDK require working with `ExtismVal` arguments
directly, this is pretty low-level for what is kind of a high-level
feature. We could work on adding some types to the SDKs that make
working with pointers to plugin data more accessible, maybe something
similar to how the Rust PDK handes input/output data.
- In each language the host functions more-or-less share a signature:
`(CurrentPlugin plugin, Val inputs[], Val outputs[], userData)`
- C, C++, OCaml and Go take a single userData argument but Python and
Node take a "rest" argument which allows passing any number of user-data
values
- Go requires the host function to be exported:
f9eb5ed839/go/main.go (L13-L26)
- Zig and Ruby should be relatively simple to add host functions to next
but I haven't really looked into Elixir, .NET or Java yet.
