esm: experimental wasm modules

This is a first pass at a loader for wasm modules. It offers support for both named imports as well as deafult. It may be possible to move some of this logic down to C++, but I think the current implementation might be good enough. It doesn't currently use the ESM cache, but AFAICT it isn't currently exposed. Will dig in more with tests / examples / cache after initial implementation gets feedback.
