[WebAssembly] Add an import_field function attribute

This is similar to import_module, but sets the import field name
instead.

By default, the import field name is the same as the C/asm/.o symbol
name. However, there are situations where it's useful to have it be
different. For example, suppose I have a wasm API with a module named
"pwsix" and a field named "read". There's no risk of namespace
collisions with user code at the wasm level because the generic name
"read" is qualified by the module name "pwsix". However in the C/asm/.o
namespaces, the module name is not used, so if I have a global function
named "read", it is intruding on the user's namespace.

With the import_field module, I can declare my function (in libc) to be
"__read", and then set the wasm import module to be "pwsix" and the wasm
import field to be "read". So at the C/asm/.o levels, my symbol is
outside the user namespace.
