03299a73b4 Fix raytrace example by using an older nightly
Unfortunately xargo is currently broken against master Rust, so let's
pin to an older nightly while that's sorted out

995be7c027 Replace target flags with --target
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`.

25b26f41e7 Implement support for WebAssembly threads
... and add a parallel raytracing demo!

This commit adds enough support to `wasm-bindgen` to produce a workable
wasm binary *today* with the experimental WebAssembly threads support
implemented in Firefox Nightly. I've tried to comment what's going on in
the commits and such, but at a high level the changes made here are:

* A new transformation, living in a new `wasm-bindgen-threads-xform`
  crate, prepares a wasm module for parallel execution. This performs a
  number of mundane tasks which I hope to detail in a blog post later on.
* The `--no-modules` output is enhanced with more support for when
  shared memory is enabled, allowing passing in the module/memory to
  initialize the wasm instance on multiple threads (sharing both module
  and memory).
* The `wasm-bindgen` crate now offers the ability, in `--no-modules`
  mode, to get a handle on the `WebAssembly.Module` instance.
* The example itself requires Xargo to recompile the standard library
  with atomics and an experimental feature enabled. Afterwards it
  experimentally also enables threading support in wasm-bindgen.

I've also added hopefully enough CI support to compile this example in a
builder so we can upload it and poke around live online. I hope to
detail more about the technical details here in a blog post soon as
well!
