[issue40280] Consider supporting emscripten/webassembly as a build target

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

I have added wasm32/wasm64 architectures with emscripten/wasi operating system as cross-build targets. The values are based on Rust targets: 

$ rustc --print target-list | grep wasm
wasm32-unknown-emscripten
wasm32-unknown-unknown
wasm32-wasi
wasm64-unknown-unknown

wasm (WebAssembly) is "native instruction set" for the JavaScript VM while wasi or emscripten provide operating system facilities like memory management and I/O.
