Add support for reference types proposal (#2451)

This adds support for the reference type proposal. This includes support
for all reference types (`anyref`, `funcref`(=`anyfunc`), and `nullref`)
and four new instructions: `ref.null`, `ref.is_null`, `ref.func`, and
new typed `select`. This also adds subtype relationship support between
reference types.

This does not include table instructions yet. This also does not include
wasm2js support.

Fixes #2444 and fixes #2447.

 -------------
 
+- Reference type support is added. Supported instructions are `ref.null`,
+  `ref.is_null`, `ref.func`, and typed `select`. Table instructions are not
+  supported yet. For typed `select`, C/JS API can take an additional 'type'
+  parameter.
