Alex Crichton 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`.

# The `wasm-bindgen` Command Line Interface
The `wasm-bindgen` command line tool has a number of options available to it to
tweak the JavaScript that is generated. The most up-to-date set of flags can
always be listed via `wasm-bindgen --help`.
> Note: usually, one should use a [`wasm-pack`-based workflow][wasm-pack] rather
> than running the `wasm-bindgen` command line tool by hand.
[wasm-pack]: https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack
## Usage
```
wasm-bindgen [options] ./target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/crate.wasm
```
## Options
### `--out-dir DIR`
The target directory to emit the JavaScript bindings, TypeScript definitions,
processed `.wasm` binary, etc...
### `--target`
This flag indicates what flavor of output what `wasm-bindgen` should generate.
For example it could generate code to be loaded in a bundler like Webpack, a
native web page, or Node.js. For a full list of options to pass this flag, see
the section on [deployment]
[deployment]: deployment.html
### `--no-modules-global VAR`
When `--target no-modules` is used this flag can indicate what the name of the
global to assign generated bindings to.
For more information about this see the section on [deployment]
### `--typescript`
Output a TypeScript declaration file for the generated JavaScript bindings. This
is on by default.
### `--no-typescript`
By default, a `*.d.ts` TypeScript declaration file is generated for the
generated JavaScript bindings, but this flag will disable that.
### `--debug`
Generates a bit more JS and wasm in "debug mode" to help catch programmer
errors, but this output isn't intended to be shipped to production.
### `--no-demangle`
When post-processing the `.wasm` binary, do not demangle Rust symbols in the
"names" custom section.
### `--keep-debug`
When post-processing the `.wasm` binary, do not strip DWARF debug info custom
sections.
### `--browser`
When generating bundler-compatible code (see the section on [deployment]) this
indicates that the bundled code is always intended to go into a browser so a few
checks for Node.js can be elided.
