Alex Crichton 5d81f033a5 std: Start supporting WASIp2 natively
This commit is the start of an effort to support WASIp2 natively in the
standard library. Before this commit the `wasm32-wasip2` target behaved
exactly like `wasm32-wasip1` target by importing APIs from the core wasm
module `wasi_snapshot_preview1`. These APIs are satisfied by the
`wasm-component-ld` target by using an [adapter] which implements WASIp1
in terms of WASIp2. This adapter comes at a cost, however, in terms of
runtime indirection and instantiation cost, so ideally the adapter would
be removed entirely. The purpose of this adapter was to provide a
smoother on-ramp from WASIp1 to WASIp2 when it was originally created.

The `wasm32-wasip2` target has been around for long enough now that it's
much more established. Additionally the only thing historically blocking
using WASIp2 directly was implementation effort. Work is now underway to
migrate wasi-libc itself to using WASIp2 directly and now seems as good
a time as any to migrate the Rust standard library too.

Implementation-wise the milestones here are:

* The `wasm32-wasip2` target now also depends on the `wasi` crate at
  version 0.14.* in addition to the preexisting dependency of 0.11.*.
  The 0.14.* release series binds WASIp2 APIs instead of WASIp1 APIs.
* Some preexisting naming around `mod wasi` or `wasi.rs` was renamed to
  `wasip1` where appropriate. For example `std::sys::pal::wasi` is now
  called `std::sys::pal::wasip1`.
* More platform-specific WASI modules are now split between WASIp1 and
  WASIp2. For example getting the current time, randomness, and
  process arguments now use WASIp2 APIs directly instead of using WASIp1
  APIs that require an adapter.

It's worth pointing out that this PR does not migrate the entire
standard library away from using WASIp1 APIs on the `wasm32-wasip2`
target. Everything related to file descriptors and filesystem APIs is
still using WASIp1. Migrating that is left for a future PR. In the
meantime the goal of this change is to lay the groundwork necessary for
migrating in the future. Eventually the goal is to drop the `wasi`
0.11.* dependency on the `wasm32-wasip2` target (the `wasm32-wasip1`
target will continue to retain this dependency).

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
