This PR adds the immediate offset described in AstSemantics.md#addressing. I'd rather not block on the broader question of opcode naming in design/#374, so this PR just does what seems like the obvious extension to the current scheme of putting load/store immediates in the opcode name (prefixed with + for the offset).

Not okay with this. The parsing rules and opcode names are already too complicated; this is worse and in a non-general way. I'll move over to 374 for discussion, I guess.

| Load of memop * expr (* read memory address
| Store of memop * expr * expr (* write memory address
| LoadExtend of extendop * expr (* read memory address with sign- or zero-extension
| StoreTrunc of truncop * expr * expr (* write memory address with truncation

Here and elsewhere in this patch, the design repo calls this "wrap" instead of "trunc", for consistency with the conversion opcodes.

Good point, filed #91 to address.

@kg The point is that the naming can, has been, and will continue to evolve separately from semantics and so there's no reason to derail with name bikeshedding. However, if we can reach a quick consensus in design/#374 then I'm happy to update this PR. I really don't care that much naming at this point.

(Getting back to this now; will update with new patch to implement new immediate syntax.)

This is doing a signed comparison. The design text describes the effective address as an unsigned computation, so it seems like this should be checking for unsigned overflow instead.

* Add a README to the proposals directory.

* Add more address overflow tests (#1188)

There are already tests for effective address overflow, but those have a
large value baked into the offset. These tests all use `1` as the
immediate offset, and use `-1` for the address on the stack, which may
be compiled differently.

* Add a test for non-treelike behavior of stack (#961)

We've recently found a bug in a WebAssembly library we've been working
with where we're mapping WebAssembly to a tree-like IR internally. The
way we parse into this representation, however, has a bug when the
function isn't itself tree-like but rather exibits properties that
exploit a stack machine. For example this isn't so straightforward to
represent in a tree-like fashion:

    (import "" "a" (func $foo))
    (import "" "b" (func $foo (result i32)))
    (func (result i32)
      call $b
      call $b
      call $a
      i32.xor)

The extra `call $a` in the middle is valid `WebAssembly` but needs
special treatment when converting to a more tree-like IR format. I
figured it'd be good to ensure there's a spec test covering this case as
we currently pass the suite of spec tests but still contain this bug!

* [js-api] Various editorial improvements.

* [js-api] Replace pseudo-ASCII characters by normal ones.

This also required disambiguating the references to "module", as there are now
two definitions by that name.

* [js-api] Improve prose in 'run a host function'.

* [js-api] Improve some of the multi-value prose.

* Synchronize js-api tests.

* Add script to synchronize js-api tests.
