Description
Basically implement https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/pull/1055. We want binary parser and output support for it, and also asm2wasm/s2wasm support, which IMO should be independent of other debug info so that we can just use it all the time in emscripten (i.e. modules always have module names even if they have no function or local names). The cost of that will be very low, and it will be very useful for debugging and stack traces, especially along with https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/pull/1053

Research direction
Read WebAssembly/design pull request 1055 first to understand the module-name binary format. Then trace the binary parser and output support plus the asm2wasm and s2wasm entry points; done means module names work independently of other debug information and are available for emscripten use.
