3c4a3f94d1 Also add a way to read environ without triggering eager init.
Add a `__wasilibc_get_environ` function which returns the value of
`environ` but without performing eager init.

82fc2c4f44 Add a function to de-initialize the environment-variable state.
Add a `__wasilibc_deinit_environ` function which clears the current
environment variable state to the state where next time the environment
variable functions are called, they'll reinitialize the environment.

And add a `__wasilibc_maybe_reinitialize_environ_eagerly` function to
reinitialize the environment variable state if `environ` or `_environ`
are needed.

These functions are needed by wizer to be able to suspend and resume
a program and have it read new environment variables from the host
environment; see bytecodealliance/wizer#8 for background.

Lazy-initialize the environment variables. (#184)
* Lazy-initialize the environment variables.

This is the first in a series of PRs to make it easier to use WASI libc
in Wasm modules that don't have a `main` function. By initializing the
environment on demand, we avoid depending on having `__wasm_call_ctors`
run.

This uses weak symbols strategically to ensure that if `environ` is
used, it is initialized eagerly, but if only `getenv` and friends
are used, the environment is initialized lazily.

Eventually, I expect we'll have a convention for wasm modules without
main functions which will allow the `__wasm_call_ctors` function to be
called automatically, but this helps in simple cases for now.

Fixes #180.

* Add comments explaining the libc-environ-compat.h header usage.
