In #8873, we stopped tracking the wasi-nn's upstream WIT files temporarily because it was not clear to me at the time how to implement errors as CM resources. This PR fixes that, resuming tracking in the vendor-wit.sh and implementing what is needed in the wasi-nn crate.

This leaves several threads unresolved, though:

  • it looks like the vendor-wit.sh has a new mechanism for retrieving files into wit/deps--at some point wasi-nn should migrate to use that (?)
  • it's not clear to me that "errors as resources" is even the best approach here; I've opened #75 to consider the possibility of using "errors as records" instead.
  • this PR identifies that the constructor for errors is in fact unnecessary, prompting an upstream change (#76) that should eventually be implemented here.
