Description
Now that wasm-shell parses the standard wast format, we should import and run the upstream spec tests, ideally by importing https://github.com/WebAssembly/testsuite as a git submodule. (We already use git submodules to import gtest, so this is not fundamentally different than what we're already doing.)
This will require fixing various bugs in the interpreter and adding support for instructions like table.init that we do not already support.

Research direction
Start by inspecting how the existing gtest git submodule is imported, then trace wasm-shell's spec-test execution path. Compare the upstream WebAssembly testsuite with currently supported interpreter instructions, including table.init. Done means the testsuite is imported and run, with the required interpreter bugs and missing instruction support addressed.
