Support has landed in rust-lang/rust for full support for LLVM 9's
interpretation of WebAssembly threads. This commit updates our thread
transformation pass to take all this into account, namely:
* The threadign pass now runs by default and is keyed on whether memory
is shared, not off an env var.
* TLS is initialized in addition to memory on each thread.
* Stack pointer finding is tweaked to account for the TLS base also
being a mutable global.
* The build of the parallel raytrace example was updated to use today's
nightly.
This commit is the second, and hopefully last massive, refactor for
using WebIDL bindings internally in `wasm-bindgen`. This commit actually
fully executes on the task at hand, moving `wasm-bindgen` to internally
using WebIDL bindings throughout its code generation, anyref passes,
etc. This actually fixes a number of issues that have existed in the
anyref pass for some time now!
The main changes here are to basically remove the usage of `Descriptor`
from generating JS bindings. Instead two new types are introduced:
`NonstandardIncoming` and `NonstandardOutgoing` which are bindings lists
used for incoming/outgoing bindings. These mirror the standard
terminology and literally have variants which are the standard values.
All `Descriptor` types are now mapped into lists of incoming/outgoing
bindings and used for process in wasm-bindgen. All JS generation has
been refactored and updated to now process these lists of bindings
instead of the previous `Descriptor`.
In other words this commit takes `js2rust.rs` and `rust2js.rs` and first
splits them in two. Interpretation of `Descriptor` and what to do for
conversions is in the binding selection modules. The actual generation
of JS from the binding selection is now performed by `incoming.rs` and
`outgoing.rs`. To boot this also deduplicates all the code between the
argument handling of `js2rust.rs` and return value handling of
`rust2js.rs`. This means that to implement a new binding you only need
to implement it one place and it's implemented for free in the other!
This commit is not the end of the story though. I would like to add a
mdoe to `wasm-bindgen` that literally emits a WebIDL bindings section.
That's left for a third (and hopefully final) refactoring which is also
intended to optimize generated JS for bindings.
This commit currently loses the optimization where an imported is hooked
up by value directly whenever a shim isn't needed. It's planned that
the next refactoring to emit a webidl binding section that can be added
back in. It shouldn't be too too hard hopefully since all the
scaffolding is in place now.

One of the best parts about concurrency in Rust is using `rayon` and how
easy it makes parallelization of tasks, so it's the ideal example for
parallel Rust on the web! Previously we've been unable to use `rayon`
because there wasn't a way to customize how rayon threads themselves are
spawned, but [that's now being developed for us][rayon]!
This commit uses that PR to rewrite the `raytrace-parallel` example in
this repository. While not a perfect idiomatic representation of using
`rayon` I think this is far more idiomatic than the previous iteration
of `raytrace-parallel`! I'm hoping that we can continue to iterate on
this, but otherwise show it off as a good example of parallel Rust on
the web.

This commit aims to address #1348 via a number of strategies:
* Documentation is updated to warn about UTF-16 vs UTF-8 problems
between JS and Rust. Notably documenting that `as_string` and handling
of arguments is lossy when there are lone surrogates.
* A `JsString::is_valid_utf16` method was added to test whether
`as_string` is lossless or not.
The intention is that most default behavior of `wasm-bindgen` will
remain, but where necessary bindings will use `JsString` instead of
`str`/`String` and will manually check for `is_valid_utf16` as
necessary. It's also hypothesized that this is relatively rare and not
too performance critical, so an optimized intrinsic for `is_valid_utf16`
is not yet provided.
Closes#1348
This commit deprecates the `--web`, `--no-modules`, and `--nodejs` flags
in favor of one `--target` flag. The motivation for this commit is to be
consistent between `wasm-bindgen` and `wasm-pack` so documentation for
one is applicable for the other (so we don't have to document everywhere
what the translation is between flags). Additionally this should make it
a bit easier to add new targets (if necessary) in the future as it won't
add to the proliferation of flags.
For now the old flags (like `--web`) continue to be accepted, but
they'll be removed during the next set of breaking changes for
`wasm-bindgen`.
This commit reverts part of the implementation of [RFC 6]. That RFC
specified that the `--browser` flag was going to be repurposed for the
new "natively loadable as ES module output", but unfortunately the
breakage is far broader than initially expected. It turns out that
`wasm-pack` passes `--browser` by default which means that a change to
break `--browser` would break all historical versions of `wasm-pack`
which is a bit much for now.
To solve this the `--browser` flag is going back to what it represents
on the current released version of `wasm-bindgen` (optimize away some
node.js checks in a few places for bundler-style output) and a new
`--web` flag is being introduced as the new deployment strategy.
