Clemens Hammacher b53141eca3 Reland "[wasm] Don't store global handles in the interpreter"
This is a reland of 5648aad553.
Previous compile error should be fixed by disabling strict aliasing
assumptions on gyp: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/571806

Original change's description:
> [wasm] Don't store global handles in the interpreter
> 
> Storing global handles in the interpreter is dangerous, because the
> global handles are strong roots into the heap. The interpreter itself is
> referenced from the heap via a Managed. Hence the interpreter keeps the
> instance alive, while the instance keeps the Managed alive. So the GC
> will never collect them.
> 
> This CL refactors this to only store the handle to the instance object
> while executing in the interpreter, and clearing it when returning.
> It also removes the cache of import wrappers, as it should not be
> performance critical, but keeps lots of objects alive. If it turns out
> to be performance critical, we will have to reintroduce such a cache
> stored in the WasmDebugInfo object.
