Description
Instead of merely emitting data segments as array initializers, it would be neat if we could (optionally) use #embed too.
Too bad offset(...) isn't standard so we'll need to emit separate files for each data segment.

Research direction
Start by locating wasm2c's data-segment emission and checking how generated array initializers are written. Compare the optional #embed path with the note that offset(...) is nonstandard; done means data segments can be emitted through separate files without changing the default output.
