…honGH-136822) This is useful for implementing proper `input()`. It requires the JavaScript engine to support the wasm JSPI spec which is now stage 4. It is supported on Chrome since version 137 and on Firefox and node behind a flag. We override the `__wasi_fd_read()` syscall with our own variant that checks for a readAsync operation. If it has it, we use our own async variant of `fd_read()`, otherwise we use the original `fd_read()`. We also add a variant of `FS.createDevice()` called `FS.createAsyncInputDevice()`. Finally, if JSPI is available, we wrap the `main()` symbol with `WebAssembly.promising()` so that we can stack switch from `fd_read()`. If JSPI is not available, attempting to read from an AsyncInputDevice will raise an `OSError`. (cherry picked from commit 7ae4749) Co-authored-by: Hood Chatham <[email protected]>
