zach 3da526286e feat: Implement parts of the extism runtime in WebAssembly (#384)
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.

# Extism kernel
The Extism kernel implements core parts of the Extism runtime in Rust compiled to WebAssembly. This code is a conceptual
re-write of [memory.rs][] with the goal of making core parts of the Extism implementation more portable across WebAssembly
runtimes.
See [lib.rs][] for more details about the implementation itself.
## Building
Because this crate is built using the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target, it is a separate build process from the `extism-runtime` crate.
To build `extism-runtime.wasm`, strip it and copy it to the proper location in the `extism-runtime` tree you can run:
```shell
$ sh build.sh
```
