Create the runtime to use a C library compiled with emscripten (to produce WASM) + cranelift (to produce assembly) in Firefox Code

This is not practical without wasmtime... it sort of works. Additionally this is difficult to maintain as the runtime required by emscripten (this is NOT the WASM runtime) only supports JS by default... We thus have to maintain a runtime for C, which is difficult due to upstream changes
