    [wasm] Add PKU alloc/free and support counter · a4c37558
    Daniel Lehmann authored
    To enforce W^X for the WebAssembly code space, we want to explore using
    Intel memory protection keys for userspace, also known as MPK, PKEYs, or
    PKU. Instead of flipping page protection flags with mprotect (which
    incurs a high syscall overhead; and which switches flags for the whole
    process), this associates a key with each page once, and then changes
    the permissions of that key with a fast thread-local register write.
    That is, this gives both finger-grained permissions (per-thread) and
    more performance.
    
    This CL is starts experimenting with PKUs by
    (1) trying to allocate a protection key once per {WasmEngine} in x64
    Linux systems, and
    (2) adding a counter for recording the sucess/failure of that, to assess
    the support for PKUs on the target machine.
    
    The low-level PKU allocating functions should be moved into base/platform
    long-term, but are inside wasm/ for this CL.
