[WebAssembly] Compile all TLS on Emscripten as local-exec
Summary: Currently, on Emscripten, dynamic linking is not supported with threads. This means that if thread-local storage is used, it must be used in a statically-linked executable. Hence, local-exec is the only possible model. This diff compiles all TLS variables to use local-exec on Emscripten as a temporary measure until dynamic linking is supported with threads. The goal for this is to allow C++ types with constructors to be thread-local. Currently, when `clang` compiles a `thread_local` variable with a constructor, it generates `__tls_guard` variable: @__tls_guard = internal thread_local global i8 0, align 1 As no TLS model is specified, this is treated as general-dynamic, which we do not support (and cannot support without implementing dynamic linking support with threads in Emscripten). As a result, any C++ constructor in `thread_local` variables would not compile. By compiling all `thread_local` as local-exec, `__tls_guard` will compile and we can support C++ constructors with TLS without implementing dynamic linking with threads.
