The upgrade CosmWasm 1.3 -> 1.4.0 contains a big upgrade of Wasmer from 2.3 to version 4. This led to large refactorings in our usage of the Wasmer API. To a large degree this improved the integration. E.g. cached modules in memory are now much smaller because we don't need to cache a Store anymore. However, we made one mistake in some code paths when using Wasmer: When we recompile a module from the Wasm file to the node's architecture we use an engine with a singlepass compiler attached. But for running modules we use a different engine that does not have a compiler. This is nice as the engine running contracts is lightweight and reusable. Now the regression was introduced by creating a Wasmer Module instance with one engine but run it with a different engine. The type system and Wasmer API allows you to do that, but it seems to be an invalid usage of Wasmer due to how Modules, Artifacts and Engines work internally. The resulting error message we get is:

Wasmer runtime error: RuntimeError: out of bounds memory access

This PR fixes the issue by ensuring the compiling engine and the Module instance are not used to instantiate and execute the Module. Instead the Module is serialized to the file system cache and read from there.

We also increase our test coverage for the affected cases. Before we just checked the instance was created. Now we also test that the created instances can be executed.
