The --wasm-write-protect-code-memory flag previously enforced W^X, that is the WebAssembly code space was either writable or executable, but never both at the same time. With compilation in background threads concurrent to execution in the main thread, this simple scheme is no longer viable because the same memory page can indeed be written to and executed at the same time. Hence, this flag is currently broken and disabled and the code space is always writable AND executable. As a first step towards more security, we at least want to write-protect the code space (when not required writable by compilation threads) but at the same time keep it always executable (because of concurrent execution in the main thread). That is, we no longer switch between RX and RW (W^X), but rather between RX and RWX (write-protection only). This CL starts to change from W^X (which was broken) to write-protection only when enabling --wasm-write-protect-code-memory. This is the first of two CLs, where the followup CL will fix the feature, and this CL merely prepares and cleans up the code. In particular, this CL changes the permissions from RW to RWX (due to concurrent execution) and renames `WasmCodeAllocator::SetExecutable()` to `WasmCodeAllocator::SetWritable()` (and similarly named callers) to be consistent with that change. Since the code space is now always executable, this CL also removes now unneeded calls to `SetExecutable(true)` in tests.
