1530273 - Support "funcref" as alias for "anyfuc"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript: WebAssembly, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Lars T Hansen [:lth]]

Wabt just landed a change that deprecated "anyfunc" and introduced / strengthened the use of "funcref", so we should at least accept the latter as an alias for the former.

Wabt is now supporting funcref exclusively, and with the reftypes proposal I think
there's broad agreement that we will stop using anyfunc. So let's accept funcref
both in the text format and in the table creation dictionary, and let's use this
name as the canonical name in error messages and similar.

But let's also continue to accept anyfunc, since there may be in-flight tests and
other content that uses it. This includes a couple of emscripten-compiled benchmarks
currently in the repo; I chose not to change those.
