Measured on size of e main module (baseline is we don't embed
it in application code):
* embedding before: +16.5% uncompressed / +9.1% compressed
* embedding with this CL: +4% uncompressed / +4.3% compressed
When embeddeding deferred load list information into the app
(as opposed to a separate json file) we now use a more compact
encoding.
Specifically: Instead of encoding it as an array of an array of
strings (which are module names), we encode it as an array of an
array of module ids and construct the module name from the id.
To make the array of module ids more compact we utilize the fact
that we can sort them and encode in delta encoding (i.e. instead
of absolute module ids, encode the diff between previous module
id in the list).
We put the encoded module id lists in a data section and create
`WasmArray<WasmI8>`s from them at startup. When we trigger a load
we then decode them into the list of module names.
There's more opportunity to optimize it, but it's good to do
this as a first step.
