Research direction

Start by studying the existing debuginfo registration code in Wasmtime and the corresponding JIT paths in rustc_codegen_cranelift. Determine the common crate boundary and how debugger registration should be verified; done means the shared implementation is extracted and JIT debuginfo is registered correctly.
