Description
#### Feature
wasmtime dynamic library loading like with *.dll, *.so, *dylib in OS
#### Benefit
It will simplify loading a big application with it own dependencies
#### Implementation
It is implemented in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-cpp/issues/25#issuecomment-1132157937 as C++ class.
Lets consider the similar api for wasmtime that it would be available on all platforms
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked wasmtime-cpp issue and its C++ dynamic-library implementation. Then determine how a similar API could be exposed by Wasmtime across platforms. The issue names no source files or tests; done would require a defined cross-platform API for loading application dependencies.
