Summary:
It does not currently make sense to use WebAssembly features in some functions
but not others, so this CL adds an IR pass that takes the union of all used
feature sets and applies it to each function in the module. This allows us to
prevent atomics from being lowered away if some function has opted in to using
them. When atomics is not enabled anywhere, we detect whether there exists any
atomic operations or thread local storage that would be stripped and disallow
linking with objects that contain atomics if and only if atomics or tls are
stripped. When atomics is enabled, mark it as used but do not require it of
other objects in the link. These changes allow libraries that do not use atomics
to be built once and linked into both single-threaded and multithreaded
binaries.

Summary:
Implements a new target features section in assembly and object files
that records what features are used, required, and disallowed in
WebAssembly objects. The linker uses this information to ensure that
all objects participating in a link are feature-compatible and records
the set of used features in the output binary for use by optimizers
and other tools later in the toolchain.
The "atomics" feature is always required or disallowed to prevent
linking code with stripped atomics into multithreaded binaries. Other
features are marked used if they are enabled globally or on any
function in a module.
Future CLs will add linker flags for ignoring feature compatibility
checks and for specifying the set of allowed features, implement using
the presence of the "atomics" feature to control the type of memory
and segments in the linked binary, and add front-end flags for
relaxing the linkage policy for atomics.
