[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.
